Today on GMSA: Standoff ends; local athletes make pro soccer debut; Iran tension

Good morning from the GMSA anchor desk. Leslie and I have hit a midweek wall. Leslie warned me she “doesn’t know what will come out of [her] mouth today.” This could be interesting! We just found out that SA Live is hosting a Game of Thrones costume contest on Friday as the series finally ends on Sunday. We’re busy guessing what Mike’s costume will be. I think he’ll be dressed as Brienne of Tarth. Leslie thinks he’ll show up as Jon Snow. She also said she’d dress up as Daenerys Targaryen complete with a dragon or two. I’d dress more simply...as Man With Axe #7. We chose The Hound for Marcus. When we told him, he chuckled. ;) Have a good day everyone! - Mark & Leslie Here's what's on Good Morning San Antonio for Wednesday, May 15: CLICK HERE TO WATCH LIVE What's Trending Local Marine Corps veteran reunited with military K-9 A local Marine Corps veteran and his military K-9 were reunited at Cavender Toyota on the Northwest Side.
