Good Grief
I’m working on some new content, don’t worry. Last week was a busy one in and around the house. I power washed and then re-stained/sealed the deck. Worked in the yard. We reorganized the garage, including adding some new storage devices. Had some car repairs taken care of. And did some reorganization inside as well. This week, it’s me and…
Still Giddy
I promised one more KU post, so here goes it. Feel free to move along to other/better things if you’re sick of it all. Well, the hangover remains, although this is an extremely pleasant hangover. I’m down to a relatively normal number of e-mails related to KU again. I was getting about 1000 a day, or so it seemed, most…
More More More
More Jayhawk talk. And lots of it. I promise, only one or two more of these for my non-Jayhawk readers. It’s been an odd couple of days. I still don’t feel great. Much better than I felt Monday, but my stomach is still giving me fits. So I’ve continued to kind of lay around the past couple days. Of course,…
I Always Said I Would Never Do This, But…
If B. Baby #3 is a boy, Mario is getting some serious consideration. Now I just have to find a way to convince the Mrs. that Mario is somehow Irish/Welsh to fit our Celtic model we’ve used on the first two.
Champs
The day after. Feeling about 80% better, although it was a rather restless night of sleep. I thought a lot about what winning a national championship would mean to me, as a fan and alum, over the weekend. The reality, of course, is that it really only gives me a chance to buy a bunch of new t-shirts and ultimate…
Unbelievable
Sick on the couch all day, laid on my back for the game, but managed to get upright after Mario C saved the day. Not afraid to admit I’m shedding some tears of joy right now. What a team what a season what a shot what a game. Rock Chalk Jayhawk!
Ugh
Woke up on what should be a great day with flu-like symptoms. Have been rolling around on the couch for three hours and maybe, finally, felling a little better. Need some major improvement before 9:30 tonight. In case I don’t get a chance, I will say, Memphis is way too good for KU. If KU is a really good college…
One More Game
What a freaking game. I kept thinking, “There is no way you can blow a lead this big,” when KU started to run out of gas in the first half. As Carolina crept closer in the second, I kept thinking, “Surely not.” As KU kept throwing lazy passes, taking quick shots, and otherwise making it easy for UNC to get…
San Antonio Bound
Wow. I thought about posting just that one word and the picture, and leaving it at that. I don’t know that you ever apologize for getting the the Final Four, but little beyond the victory itself was worth celebrating about KU’s victory over Davidson in the Midwest Regional Final. For me, it was an unprecedented game. Why unprecedented? I left…
Madness
Some quick thoughts on the tournament before I head to Gymboree. Regarding KU, I’m surprisingly zen about them. I’d love it if their fulfilled their potential and went deep; it would certainly be a lot of fun. But, if they lose early, I’m not going to let it ruin the season for me as a fan. I know that’s a…
