Lent Begins

Ah, the first day of lent. Do you observe lent? Some do; some don't. I have given up my beloved Diet Coke. My daughter has gove over 90 days without sipping a soda - she challenged me to give it up for a while. A friend of mine gives up eating food for lent. Now, there's a guy I admire. Me, I'm just putting my toes in the water of lent, while others, like my friend, dive in.

From sorrow to joy in Mayberry. Don Knotts passed away a few days ago. Today is Ron Howard's birthday. Even in Mayberry, life is full of ebb and flow. Happy Birthday, Opie.

My daughter is bringing back memories - she called to say that she is going on a mission trip for spring break at Oklahoma Christian. Those are some of the best memories I had while in college. I hope the same for her.

The Amazing Race started last night. My wife loves that show. In fact, we tend to watch a lot of reality tv - big Survivor fans; love American Idol; Apprentice sometimes. Deal or no deal is a big deal too.

The Razorbacks are coming on, baby! RPI of 48. Maybe time to buy some dancing shoes? Its been five years since we've gone dancing. I think we've forgotten how. First things first, we've got to beat Ole Miss tonight. Its at home, where we're 15-1. Put down a "W" for the Hogs tonight.

Wrong, Arkansas played Mississippi State last night...and won. Never ever get the two confused. Hotty Totty! by the way Ole Miss beat Arkansas last time.

Ah, thanks for the correction! BUT, a "W" is a "W"! We'll take it, bro. See ya at the tournament next week.
