The Funniest Thing My Daughter Has Ever Done
I’m working on my vacation wrap-up, but that probably won’t get posted until tomorrow. However, there is this one M. story that demands immediate sharing. As I have mentioned in the past, she’s really into Hide and Go Seek with us. It starts just saying “Boo!” and tickling her, and eventually one of us is hiding behind a door or…
Big Plans
It’s going to be a busy weekend in La Casa de Blogger. Tomorrow, M. gets baptized for starters. All you anti-Papists out there can make your derisive comments now. Be sure to share them with my wife next time you see her. Sunday morning, S. and I depart for our first extended time away from the baby. We’re off to Rincon, Puerto…
A Couple Big 12 Notes
I tend to automatically subtract a week from all estimates of time injured players will miss. Schools tend to be conservative with estimates, and kids heal fast. Still, I was surprised Wayne Simien played 37 minutes last night. Probably more just it was Wayne and he has a history, more than anything else, and I assumed they would be exceptionally…
Your Baby Blog Update
What, no updates on the developments and tricks of M. in almost a month? I’ve got some serious catching up to do! Here goes. Right before Christmas, she discovered the volume button on her voice. It was fun to listen to her yell at various volumes around the house just because she could. A little more embarrassing when she continually…
Back To School
It certainly felt like the first day of a spring semester when the clouds rolled in and the wind kicked up just as I was getting to campus yesterday. Ten years ago, such weather would have ensured that I didn’t go to class for four weeks. Things are different in the new millennium, however, and I persevered. Since I’ve done…
New Chapter
I’ve got my book bag full of notebooks and pens. One of my new Christmas shirts laid out to wear today. And an apple for my professor. I’m off to school in a few hours to start the in-class portion of my efforts to get into grad school. I’m taking the basic editing and reporting class all undergrads who want…
Hmmmm
Years ago, in the times before AOL’s e-mail program had spell checker, I made several typos a few friends found extremely funny and we then adopted into our day-to-day language. One of those typos was putting bug in the place of big, as in “That was a bug win for you guys last weekend.” Taking it global, Oklahoma sure had…
D’s Dozen
(Compiled shortly after KU’s win over UK. If you don’t know which is which, please move along.) 12) Gonzaga. Hang on just because so many other teams got beat this week. 11) Texas. Rick Barnes, as always, is an ass, but his team is good. Baylor stayed curiously close to them Sunday, though. 10) Kentucky. This week’s Lexington Lament: Why,…
KU – A&M Thoughts
A couple thoughts while I down my post-game Guinness. Tomorrow is a Mr. Mom day and if I don’t post now, I’ll never get them done. Billy Gillespe is doing good things at A&M. They’ve always had one good player who could score 30. Now they’ve got that one player (Wright), some talent to go with it, and what appears…
What A Crappy Game
It appears as though the NFL has taken over the BCS championship game. The game was played in an NFL stadium. It featured 25 minutes of mega-hype between air-time and kick off. Celebrity coin tossers. U2 at halftime. Oh, and the game sucked too. Sounds like a Super Bowl to me. So much for the potential greatest championship game ever,…
