King George

Last night I want to my fourth George Strait concert and, like the others, this one was terrific. Opening for George were new singer/songwriter Taylor Swift (only 17 years old) and another country music legend Ronnie Milsap. Clint and I had a great time at the show.

Quote of the Day

"Isn't it strange what happens with old books? They choose you. They reach out to their buyer--Hello, here I am, take me with you. It's as if they were alive."

--The Nautical Chart by Arturo Perez-Reverte (2000, Harcourt Books)

Mats ain't movin'

A few days ago, a friend sent me a link to this news story with the subject line "My hero." I mean, really, don't we all feel this way somedays? Especially on a Monday.

Puppy Bowl III

Clint and I were just discussing how the Puppy Bowl on Animal Planet is just as good -- if not better -- than the actual Super Bowl. In case you're not familiar with this, Animal Planet puts puppies in an enclosed area and for about seven hours just broadcasts them romping and playing around. It's beyond cute. Although I'm still saying Go Colts!
