Hide the children! I've got some breaking news ...

Just got off the phone with a reporter from the Dallas Morning News. Katie Menzer is doing a story on the re-opening of Jupiter Lanes and wanted to talk to "the guy who put together a blog or something about trying to buy Jupiter Lanes." Which is neither her nor there and I have no doubt I'll be mis-quoted if at all, BUT I did find out this historic piece of news I know you all would be interested in hearing about ASAP.

Cotton will be back at the Lanes.

So, regardless of what they have done with the lions out front or the Drakar-like cologne dispenser in the bathrooms or the White Russian happy hour, we can rest assured that, in their Jupiter Lanes refurbishment, they have done at least one thing right.

Ms. Menzer was neither able to confirm nor deny that Cotton's last name is Schwabb, so there is still that mystery afoot.

I'll try to find out when Cotton regularly works so an expedition can be planned. If you haven't yet met Cotton in person, let me tell you, it is worth it. It's better, even, then meeting the ghost of Tommy Dugan, and you know I don't say that lightly.
