I spent a good bit of Saturday in Lubbock. I attended a meeting with the next Group Study Exchange team that will represent our Rotary district on a professional exchange in Thailand. The meeting ended around noon.

Then we had lunch and after that, we went to the Triple J, an eatery/watering hole at the corner of 19th Street and Buddy Holly Drive. Then the thought occurred to me: Where does someone like, oh, Mike Leach, hang out? The former Texas Tech head football coach has been in the news lately, as we all know. He’s a recognizable guy. He lives and works in a city that’s roughly the size of Amarillo (OK, OK, it’s a little bigger). Where does he go to escape the madness? Heck, even in his glory days — back when he had an actual job, such as coaching football players — he couldn’t show himself in public without being mobbed.

Now that he’s a mega celebrity as a result of some highly negative publicity, he must feel like a shut-in. Either that or he’s high-tailed it out of town to some posh resort full of other mega celebrities.
