1. Weehee!
This is amazing. No one thought they'd do much in the CWS this year, and they haven't lost yet. One win away. One very hard win away.

2. I just gotta find a way...
to make sure my best friend (also a UT alum) doesn't find out about game 2 tomorrow. If she even knows the Horns are playing they lose...she doesn't even have to watch the game...she just has to know about it.

7. LOL I meant to come to the last one, but I got a day off
so I visited my parents in Mississippi, instead. They aren't in the best of health, and I see them only a few times a year.

8. You're off the hook then...
'cause seeing your parents is way more important. I hope y'all had a real good visit. :)

But you do need to come to a gathering one of these days...and I will tell you my Karl Rove story if/when you do.

12. I'm gonna be scarce most of July myself
either visiting my momma for her birthday or visiting Andy Stephenson up in Seattle. But we will eventually meet and I will learn once and for all whether you're just a sock puppet for GOPisEvil. :)

11. Unfortunately I don't have cable...
so I was listening on the radio. The upside of that is I had the same guys who did the regular season Horns' games doing the broadcast. Total homers. :)

And how can some of those things cost $300?

25. I was out there when the whole...
tortilla tossing thing started. My opinion...it was better than previous years when they tended to throw beer bottles. :shrug:

I haven't said a word bad about the Aggies today or told one single Aggie joke so you can just blow it out your bloomer leg, Tex. :P

32. No, but admit it, we've thought bad things about the Aggies at some
point in the last week. It's hard not to.

33. Actually, being friends with GOPisEvil...
has kinda broken me of that...it's hard to think bad things about Aggies 'cause he's one and he's one of the good guys.

36. Hee...never been called TOO diplomatic before
I can't help it on this topic though. I'm too much of a Texan. Gotta root for all of 'em. Granted, Tech comes first, then UT...but otherwise if a Texas team is playing...I'm rootin' for 'em. :) Y'all should see my 6 year old nephew...he knows how to "get his guns up", do "hook 'em Horns" and "gig 'em Aggies". It's too cute. :)

And on that happy note I am headed off to bed. You boys have fun fighting amongst yourselves. *smooches all around*
