In one local newspaper’s write-up relating to Texas Monthly’s recent Ten Best/Ten Worst list, one of TM’s “furniture” victims remarked that he thought he’d seen Texas Monthly’s Paul Burka asleep on the Senate floor outside the rail. Burka, interviewed for the story, said he didn’t recall being asleep in the Senate.
Well Paul, Letters From Texas is more than happy to refresh your memory. Surprisingly, it appears in this case that you have no complaints about the furniture in the Senate.

So was somebody reading aloud one of his stories?
He’s resting his eyes.
Dear ol’ Paul is probably praying for us all.
Eileen, that’s perfectly understandable. I do it too. Every night, for about 8 hours.
You ever sit through one of those session?
Anonymous at 11:34: yes, of course I have – many times. And I’d be the first to say how hard it is to stay awake. The difference: I wasn’t in a newspaper saying that I had, indeed, stayed awake. Like I said, I’m just trying to refresh memories.
