 Julia loved scooting around on her bicycle all over their friendly neighborhood, reading her favorite detective novels, and enjoying Texas barbecue. She was also very good at school. I either got, according to my parents, the highest score or one of the first three highest scores because I was on television in Texas. You were on television a lot in Texas. I know. Twice. Twice. But obviously it was pretty unusual because I had just gotten to Texas and I had basically just learned English perfectly.
