22. I was a Saints fan. Didn't drop the Saints, but started cheering more for the Cowboys.
It's usually a safe bet that the Saints won't be in contention for the Super Bowl, anyway.

Although, amusingly, this year they and the Vikings both look like contenders.

8. What part of Dallas?
You're invited to the Dallas County Democratic Party Fish Fry next Friday! Www.dallasdemocrats.org. I think it's .org, if not google will find it!

Also there are loads of good places to eat, let me know if you want any recommendations. There's plenty of fun stuff to do here and lots to explore.

Oh, there are lots of area theaters participatng in free night of theater (google should find it) so that would be a fun way to try something new for cheap.

Welcome to the hood!

10. Texas can use more enlightened people!
Welcome to the Great State of Texas...or at least it USED to be, before Bush and Perry! But we're working on returning it to its rightful glory, and can use all the good people we can get.

I hope you enjoy your new situation!
