- Being in the driver's seat with three people (two kids) fast asleep for six hours on the way to Arkansas is both equally relaxing and stressful.
- Auburn's coach gets fired two years after a National Championship. His consolation prize? He takes home $7.2 million buyout. Sign me up.
- I played "Capture The Man With The Flag" this weekend for the first time since I was a kid. I forgot that it involved sprinting, and my thighs are still on fire. But I would like to announce I won a game by juking a Freshman girl in high school.
- We later played basically Hide And Seek with flashlights. I walked by a huge trash can and just casually looked in it expecting nothing. Instead I saw two eyes staring back at me. I screamed like a school girl and then laughed for the next five minutes.
- Mrs. LL told me that Larry Hagman died. I asked her how she knew that. She told me, "He's a co-worker." (Remember she will be an extra which should make the cut on the next season of Dallas.)
- Wasn't the episode of "Who Shot J.R.?" on a Friday night during high school football season?
- How can Johnny Manziel not with the Heisman?
- I was watching the Baylor game on Saturday and would casually yell an "Oh, man!" every now and then. Mrs. LL told a relative, "Wait until the fourth quarter. He'll be standing in front of the TV yelling." Freshman-Girl-In-The-House: "Has he seen this game before?"
- Fourth-Grader-In-The-House: "That RG3 guy always makes a touchdown when he throws it a long way."
- The highways in Arkansas are fantastic. And I could see myself living up there.
- I don't believe the hype behind "Cyber Monday." (And isn't the term "cyber" just a little out-dated?)
- The Turkey Trot in Fort Worth was really fun. A 10K vs. the Dallas 8 Mile was a nice change and Fort Worth is just, well, Fort Worth. More friendly. More laid back. Just a fantastic morning. But I did have trouble finding my car on one of the streets in the Ridglea area after it was done.
- Ugly Christmas sweater T-shirts is a great idea.
- We are trying to talk the girls into letting the two remaining bunnies go free. They are getting big and wild. (That is, the bunnies. Come to think about it, that may be the girls, too.)
- The truce between Israel and Hamas was really bizarre. They struck the deal in the morning with it to take effect at 1:00 p.m. that afternoon. They continued to launch bombs at each other up until 1:00 p.m.
