This week, ScaiPod returns to Six Flags Over Texas. Normally, they stay open all year, but this year, they took a break for about six weeks over the winter for renovations.

Now that I'm no longer bustin' my hump for the man, I've got time to focus on the important things in life. For instance, I've been able to really dig into my NCAA tournament bracket.

Open wheel racing is a sport that demands precision. An IndyCar circuit is unforgiving; even a slight deviation of your machine's wing or the fuel mixture can cost the hundredths of a second that can knock a driver from the top of the podium.

The podcast has returned from its winter slumber, coming alive with a celebration of new sports . I've been hard at work. And by "hard at work," I mean, "milling around pool halls." Right now, you're imagining hard-scrabble Scaia lurking in the darkened corner of a pool hall, a cigarette hanging from my mouth all night, just reading the room. Then when it's late, I throw down my marker when I spot a pigeon and make a few quick bucks so I can pay for my lady's perm. In this s

Arlington's Entertainment District is currently in one of its rare slow periods. Sure, we all remember the tragic return of the XFL, but February and March are the only parts of the year when there's not a pro sports league in season.

I will never stop holding stadium chefs accountable for deliciousness. I'm a simple man, but that's my pledge to you.

Loyal Scaiaholics will recall I rarely get emotional, perhaps because I've wandered into a selection of the worst things that have happened to society over the past ten years. I'm still working on feeling ways about stuff, so to mark Valentine's Day, an associate suggested I could learn a few things during a vow renewal at the dementia care center where he works.

You probably heard a lot of companies urging you to buy their tortilla chips or a new car to get ready for the Big Game . They can't say which big game they're referring to, but they hope you'll figure it out. After seeing all the arguments about the halftime show and also arguments about the alternative halftime show, instead of "Big Game," perhaps we could settle on calling it the Bickering About Politics Bowl (patent pending). But this week, an exhibit is opening at the U

"Everyone's arguing about politics!" the leadership of the Nexo Dallas Open exclaimed. "We could all use something to eat."

An associate sent me a text today alerting me the Rockford Files was being rebooted. Sure, this was a show that had wrapped up before I was born, but it still plays an active role in my life.

As I plot the next season of the iconic Texas Correspondent podcast (also available on Apple and Spotify!), I've given myself time to contemplate the biggest issues facing humanity today.

We've previously discussed the right cut of meat--and the proper seasonings--to celebrate the birth of our savior. This week's podcast includes tips on whether you can bring kolache through TSA (spoilers: it's complicated).

Loyal Scaiaholics will recall I look forward to a visit to Arlington's Interlochen neighborhood every year before Christmas. This weekend the Lights at Interlochen opened for their 50th year.

This week, #ScaiPod is taking a close look at how Arlington celebrates the holidays.

The Dallas Cowboys are preparing Thanksgiving dinner for 90,000 fans.

This week, I spent some time in Kerrville. You might remember, at least they hope you remember, they didn't have a particularly celebratory Fourth of July.

After listening to so much, "Oh, the Left!" and "Oh, the Right!" you might be longing for a simpler time when the cardinal directions just loved each other. The federal government reopened this week much to the chagrin of news organizations that benefit from setting people aflame with partisan disagreement.

This week, the Toronto Blue Jays won the first pennant by a team outside the United States since 1993. Naturally, the world is abuzz about the Montreal Expos.

I've continued workshopping names for the podcast. An associate presented a strong point: Perhaps I've overlooked simplicity.

This week, we've been discussing the types of silverware that might be useful to load into your cannon if you ever wind up in a war with Mexico.
