Yay Emmitt!

November 16, 2006

It was no surprise in our house that Emmitt Smith won "Dancing with the Stars."

He was a god on the football field. #22 was key to three of the Cowboys’ five championships that sustain the hubby and I as we wait for the Tuna to get his and the current team’s act together. Fittingly, Emmitt’s visage once again graces the ‘Boy’s Web page, along with a separate story on his latest accomplishment.

Plus, he just seems like such a nice guy. And there’s that smile! How can anyone resist that smile?

When I heard Emmitt was going to be on the program, as a lifelong Cowboys fan, my initial wish was that he finish higher than former ’49er Jerry Rice did last year. As the competition continued, I began to hope for a win. The hubby was confident the whole time; me, I’m a sports worrier, expecting disappointment and then reveling obnoxiously in victory.

Well, it’s definitely a roundly reveling kind of day today!

More Emmitt: You can watch highlights of Emmitt’s and dance partner Cheryl Burke’s performances here.

You can read here about how Emmitt’s dance floor moves captivated Dallas almost as much as his on-field moves did back in the day.

And be sure to check out this story and Jerry Jones’ comments at the end of the article. For once, something I can agree with Jerry about!

Hello Tax Season 2026

Happy New Tax Year! Are you ready to file your 2025 tax return? I know, too early to ask. But Tax Day 2026 will be here before we realize it. The Internal Revenue Service deadline to file and pay any tax we owe is the regular April 15 date this year. It’s also Tax Day for most of the states that collect income taxes from their residents, which is most of the states! If that seems too far away right now, don’t worry. As is the case every tax season, the ol’ blog’s tips and other tax reminders should help all of us meet our state and federal responsibilities. Procrastinators also will want to keep an eye on the countdown clock just below. It tracks how much time we have until April’s Tax Day, just in case we put off our annual tax task until the absolutely final hours and decide we need to instead get an extension request into the IRS by that date. (Note: I’m in the Central Time Zone, so adjust accordingly for where you live.)
