Ed Brandon’s luncheon thrown by Dave and Laura Ward

Here are pictures from a luncheon thrown by Dave and Laura Ward for Ed Brandon at La Griglia on West Gray. Great food by the way.
Ed Brandon, the honoree and fill-in abc 13 weatherman starting very soon.
Bob Allen with Laura and Dave Ward.
Shara Fryer and Don Nelson. It was nice to see Shara again who is always doing something interesting. Lately she’s been working with the Houston World Affairs Council and traveling. She likes this blog too!
Tim Heller and ex-KTRK meteorologist Frank Billingsley. I joked if these two appeared in the same room together, some kind of strange weather phenomenon would occur. We were all safe, it was sunny when I went outside!
The cookie at your seat!

This looked like a great way to generate buzz.

Here is what I spied over at the AT&T Experience Store on Westpark in Houston the other day.
Today is the big day for the launch of Apple’s iPhone, but you already knew that. Who could escape it?
Congratulations, Craig Biggio. For today, any questions about your pursuit of 3000 are irrelevant. You made it, and you deserve…
