2015 resolutions

In 2015 I am saying goodbye to things that seem unnecessarily violent. Yes, I will still see action movies, but I will skip any recipe instruction that says to put chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound, pound, pound until thin!

Old rivals

Watched my alma mater, the Arkansas Razorbacks, play the major opponent from my college days last night in the Texas Bowl. A week of longhorn focus always preceded the game in the early 70s – pep rallies, bon fires, rampant cheering throughout campus. Despite our rabid team spirit, we were always taught to be good sports.

Being a good sport, win or lose, is a good thing. After last night’s win of 31 to 7 some forty years later, I’d have say winning feels better, Woo pig sooie! Go hogs!
