BTW, Sheila Jackson Lee died on July 19, 2024. So, except for the 2 months Rep. Turner served before he died, this seat has been vacant almost a year and a half.

In TX, Rep. Sylvester Turner died on Mar. 5, 2 months after taking office to replace Sheila Jacksoon Lee (who died in 2024). The election to replace him took place on Nov. 4 (at the behest of Gov. Abbott). It went to a runoff scheduled for Jan. 31, 2026.

That seat will have been vacant 11 months.

I need to get back there. Back to the art of being grateful. Because without it, the fight consumes you. When you are grateful, you remember what you’re fighting for.

Happy Thanksgiving, friends.

I remember hearing Stevie play that song with a band called Triple Threat Revue, which preceded Double Trouble. The song was written by two other members of that band, W.C. Clark (bass) and Mike Kindred (B-3).
