Benford's Musings

It was a very nice weekend. I got quite a few things done while staying relaxed – optimum way to spend the long weekend. 🙂

Our Thanksgiving dinner was wonderful. It was basically the four of us (mom, dad, me and my sister Trish) but Trish’s friend Katie joined us for dinner and my friend Ken and his mom & sister joined us for dessert. Lots of food, a bit of wine and lots of love. Perfect day. Trish & Chris’s dogs enjoyed themselves as well.

I posted about the game on Saturday. I’m proud of the Tigers. Our next game is Saturday, December 6 at 2 pm at Floyd Casey Stadium (Baylor). We play Dallas Skyline in the State Quarterfinals…who knows how it will turn out but all I can say is Go Tigers!

Sunday, Keith helped me put up Christmas decorations around my house. Okay, so he helped bring stuff in from the garage, put the tree together and put mini trees outside. That was enough. 🙂 I feel just festive enough. I don’t plan on letting my house puke Christmas. 😉

Now, I’m just waiting on information on the New Year’s Party. We’re going to gather at Annie’s West on West 6th. My friend Ben owns the joint and it’s really a nice, relaxed place. We’re expecting good food, good music and a relaxing (but high class) celebration. Just waiting on Ben to send the details…. (We’ll have room for between 15-20 (maybe more) so if you’d like to join us, let me know and I’ll send you details.)

Well, the Stony Point Tigers won another play-off game. What does that mean? 6 more weeks of winter! No, wait…at least another week of football. I’m a little torn ’cause I’m ready for a break from high school football. BUT, now that we’re this far (next week’s game is the State Quarter Finals, I think), let’s just finish off the State and go all the way, huh? Go Tigers.

On to college football and the BCS. The new polls and calculations have been posted and living in Austin, all I’m hearing is “blah blah blah, blah blah blah blah blah; Go Mizzu Tigers!!”. Okay, I can understand that with UT having beaten OU 45-35, OU shouldn’t be ahead of UT in the standings. But they let coaches vote without any weight to their votes as part of this stupid algorithm. I’m sorry, if you’re going to let a bad coach with a grudge (*ahem* A&M, who said before Thanksgiving that he was giving his vote to OU) vote in the poll, it shouldn’t have the same merit as a good coach with no political or historical grudges. Besides, who in the hell decided math and football should be combined anyways???

Professional football – why does some football player think he needs a gun? Or better yet – why is anyone going to a club where you might need a gun? Dumb.

Okay, there are my thoughts on a sport I really don’t care for. Hope you had a fun weekend, too! LOL

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Today’s kind of a random day. I got done with a lot of the stuff I needed to do this week so now, I’m taking advantage of a little bit of closed door time and cleaning up in my office. While I stopped to have lunch, I read quite a bit of stuff on “The Internet” and I feel fully educated now (kinda). So, here are the random things going on in the world:

Congrats to Pete Wentz & Ashlee Simpson on the birth of their boy. I can’t seem to find the picture of them I took last year right now but if I do, I’ll post it.

Deep sorrows to the family of long time (former) Texas Attorney General Jim Maddox who passed away last night.

If Texas Tech wins this weekend and loses against Missouri next week, UT will go to the BCS Championships, I think. The BCS algorhythms are still impossible for anyone to figure out.

Yes, there was a scary man working at Stony Point but he no longer is…but the cops are still looking for him. I don’t care if you’re only a few years older than her, sleeping with a student is not cool.

I can’t wait to get home to update my iPhone with iPhone 2.2.

I Can Has Cheezburger, etc. sites have very funny pictures/captions.

Keith just sent me a website with a recipe for Turbaconducken. If you’d like to add something extra special to your turkey, stuffed with a chicken, stuffed with a duck, look here for more info. I guess nothing on the web surprises me anymore!

Yes, there was a shooting close to Stony Point this morning but we’re all safe and okay. I have heard that the shooter was also the shootee and is no longer a threat to anyone, including themself. **UPDATE: It may not be a suicide after all and someone else dangerous may be running amuck. SCARY!!**

Another night of play offs tonight. RRISD Athletics Complex (The Palace on Parmer) at 7:30 pm against the Woodlands HS. If we win this game, we’re playing next Saturday in Waco. I’m excited ’cause a great season like this is long time comin’ for Tiger Football but I gotta say that I’m tired and ready for a break from this.

I’m liking this cold weather. Time for a bonfire and some smores!!!

Okay, that’s all the random for this week. Take care, have a great weekend and if you don’t check back until after Thanskgiving, have a wonderful one!

Love you, mean it!
