Records, Football, Running, And Crying: A Regular Weekend [OU]
A couple years ago, I generally covered family events heavily–too heavily I now see–but last weekend was such an odd collection of stuff that I’m going to quickly cover it here. Starting with Friday evening where I was at Good … Continue reading
The Final Big 12 Championship Clash [OU]
I’ll be honest–I’m absolutely exhausted. So I’m going for quantity over quality here on a few posts. Please excuse the mess. It came down to tiebreakers, but OU got to the Big 12 Championship Game against Nebraska at Cowboys Stadium. … Continue reading

Defensive Driving Now Encouraged In Your Area [Birthdays]
It seems like only a year ago that I survived Madysen turning 16 and getting her license. But I’m happy to report that Speed turned 16 two weeks ago, passed his test, and has not even scratched the paint on … Continue reading

I decried last year how Halloween seemed to be receding into a holiday no longer impacting our lives–mostly because Madysen and Speed are getting too big to cuddle. … Anyway, the game looked to be a walkover as we had an early 21-0 lead, but the lead was cut to 6 points twice in the second half, which had me awfully nervous. 
You Lose Some, You Win More: OU [Football]
The last three weekends were OU football centered. They didn’t all go as well as hoped, but that’s the way things go, eh? Labor Day weekend had Speed and I out at the new Cowboys Stadium for OU-BYU. Losing the … Continue reading
