Matt Diggs

This is DFW folks... don't take my word for it - take the non-partisan branch of the government that categorizes and divides for the census.

The DFW deniers would probably have you believe there are 72 distinct regions of Texas - and we can't have regional conversations.

Maybe it's just me (media wise).. but I always feel weird when I finish something for the last time for the year. You've seen all these posts I've made about before/after. I just did rankings and sent them to NBC for the final time this year. No more rankings for 41 weeks.. I can only imagine how seniors are handling today.
