The Cougars are OUT

I'm so proud of BYU for choosing to go independent in football, and proud of our friends who were intimately involved in making it happen! You know something exciting is happening in sports when Steve and I are is spending a lot of time talking about it.

BYU as a rule doesn't like to rock the boat, but they rocked it, baby!  I couldn't be happier.

I'm excited too.
We're in town and I drove by your house the other day because I wanted to show John how cool it is (location/ retro style etc).
I would have knocked but kids were tired and I didn't think you'd appreciate unannounced visitors in the middle of the day.

question: do you guys have access to any game tix we can buy to go to the game Saturday? I know John would love to go and I'm just gonna resort to the usual channels (craigslist/ ksl) but wanted to check with the BYU employee/ Provo local first.

maybe we can see you?

I, too, was surprised by the boat-rocking. Let's see if it leads to anyone else willing to "go overboard."

Totally agree. And I'm sure you had a front row seat to what really went on behind the scenes. Oh that we had a law job at the Y.

I so covet your involvement in BYU. Provo is like a dream to me. I probably (surely) romanticize my time there (I was single in my twenties, after all; what's not to like?) but I think you live in such a neat place, all the lame jokes aside. Enjoy!

I figured out a title: This post is more about race than it is about politics

For me, one of the favorable things about Barack Obama is that he's black. Half black, but black nonetheless. I've heard a lot of hullabaloo -- especially in the media -- that we really ought not let race play a factor in this election. Geraldine Ferraro was lambasted for suggesting that Obama's race was to his advantage in beating Clinton. But I agreed with her, as far as I understood her comments correctly. His ethnicity makes me more inclined to vote for him. If we don't elect a black president this year, it will be a very, very long time before we ever elect a black president. Or a Chinese-American president, or a Jewish president, or a Mormon president and I could go on. The black cultural things about Obama make some people very nervous: his African-American church, for example, or the racially-charged thesis that his wife supposedly wrote at Princeton, or was it Yale? 1 There are way too many people, of all political parties, in this country who harbor biases t...

Focus! (Subtitled: Warning -- Indigenous nudity)

I keep thinking about topics or events that I could fashion into some sort of blog post, but the ideas all seem to dissipate before I make it happen. I'm definitely in a bored-of-my-own-blog kind of phase, which is too bad because I have lots of friends and family members who may be a little curious about my grand Adventures in the Beehive. Really, this ought to be a time of reflective verbosity. Here are some possible bloggable topics. Please advise. A. How I got bullied at the school carnival. B. What we did on this lovely Thursday evening, and to which blogging queen of Provo's house we did a drive-by. C. Quantities and descriptions of the foodstuff that my family collectively deposited on the floor at Thai Chili Garden. D. My friends the OvaHimba, as brought back to my frontburner (why not?! everyone has a backburner) by a lovely show on the Travel Channel tonight. D, part 2. What I fear most about living in Provo, and what it has to do with going to Namibia in 1996. E...

Freaking awesomeness

Yesterday for dinner I picked up: pizza. We put the leftovers in the fridge. Who doesn't love cold pizza leftovers for breakfast? So that's what the kids had, bright and early. Today at lunch, I was wanting something effortless, so I cooked up a Safeway self-rising crust frozen pepperoni pizza. "The best pizza we have ever, ever had," the kids shouted. After some snacking in the afternoon on cereal and clementines, which I have, in my kitchen, we met Steve at Costco this evening to return some shoes and to get dinner at the Food Court. I grabbed a table while Steve and the kids put in their order. Chicken caesar salads for the adults, and for the kids: oh, yes, he bought them pizza! So, let's review. Last night for dinner, today for breakfast, lunch and dinner: PIZZA. All with pepperoni. And now you understand the title of this post. Scheduled for tomorrow: tour of a doughnut factory with the kids and the cubs. The awesomeness continues. After Costco, we all went ...
