@gal220reagan @wsuares At the risk of wading into a Twitter convo...Wendy asked me who would be holding the firm accountable. That is what she meant above (that she asked me who would), not that I would be the one providing any oversight.

@jonathanmaze There was a lot I loved about my time at Sonic, but nothing was better than the menu tastings. The senior team, including our CEO Cliff Hudson, tried every product before it was approved to go into the drive-ins. I have to assume most restaurant companies do something similar.

Had a great meeting today with EGA CEO Abdulnasser Bin Kalban and Century Aluminum CEO Jesse Gary.

Together, they are working to build the first new premium aluminum facility in the US in nearly 50 years right here in Oklahoma.

This will be a game changer for our state!

We’re rooting for you back home — Thunder up!

Whole game would have gone differently if @arod would just have put the “House of Thunder” t-shirt on.

Would love to hear from @JoseCanseco about this.

@jonathanmaze @JoeGuszkowski I am sure they will fix the algorithm; would love to not have to pick up randomly arranged cups at the counter, spin 'em around and read the labels to find mine. Easily a bigger dissatisfier to me than speed of service. Chipotle has this figured out, so maybe...

The @Dodgers are taking the Naked Gun Announcer Booth approach to roster construction.

RIP to crafty lefty Dr. Joyce Brothers.

I have never been so happy about a meaningless victory that does harm to my team’s draft position. Go Bears!

@nondocmedia What a legacy this good and thoughtful man leaves. Among his many pursuits, Gene was an exceptional board member at Sonic. I am grateful my path intersected with his.

Thank you for re-posting this great piece about how Gene was vital and stayed engaged into his 90s.
