When last we discussed our feelings, the topic of conversation was quarterback. We now turn our attention to running back.

As your Houston Texans have been fortunate to employ the best RB in the league for the last few years, they made the wise decision to ask Arian Foster to stick around. He said yes, and we all cried. Twas a beautiful moment.

Today's article on James Casey in the Chronicle got me thinking, especially as I was reminded that Thor is entering the last year of his rookie contract. Will your Houston Texans re-sign him, or is he bound for greener pastures after this season?

Our friends at 360 have informed me that Lestar Jean will be at their fine establishment at 6 p.m. CDT this evening in connection with some media appearances for a couple of local news stations. As a handful of you have made clear that you're bullish on what Jean can do as a Houston Texan, I figured a public announcement was in order.

So if you feel like having a drink, some dinner, and ogling one of the Texans' wide receivers, you can do it at 360 in less than two hours.

Word around the sticky, double stack campfire is that the Houston Texans have signed five out of their eight draft picks. While the CBA has made the signing of draft picks a notably less significant event than it was in years past, it's still nice to see it done.

Unfortunately, for now, I can only seem to find the Pancakes McClain twitter feed, but if any of you find a second opinion confirmation, please post in the comments below.

Chapter Seven: Finnegan's Eliot's Wake

Chapter Eight: When You Wish Upon A Star

The drive from Jersey Village to Scott's house on the southwest side of town was an arduous one. Scott drove onto Northwest Freeway, which, at rush hour, was not so much a major thoroughfare as it was the world's largest mobile parking lot. The languid pace of his fellow commuters allowed his mind to drift to the drive time program "Wack and Jack," who were, for once, actually talking about sports. Listening to them talk about whether Ashton Yount could lead the Texans to the promised land made Scott think about Eliot Nash. Thoughts of Nash made Scott think about his death and the one person who could break the investigation wide open. This, in turn, only reminded him of how Julia eluded him not even an hour ago and made him want to mentally kick himself. Again.

Scott pounded his fist on the horn, blasting sound at the car in front of him. The driver in front, who was too busy cursing at the idiot ahead of him, hardly noticed. Scott did not know who to be angrier at: Julia for giving him the slip, or at himself for not recognizing her despite her hair color.

Despite feeling dumber than a box of hair, Scott felt vaguely encouraged by Julia's escape. He could not figure out why, exactly, he felt this way, but he did. It was just one more question heaped atop the quickly growing pile of questions to which he needed an answer.
