I'm sitting in Bennigan's in northwest San Antonio waiting for my ESRI training course to start back up.  Thought I would take advantage of the free wireless and rekindle my knack for monte cristo.  Oh my goodness!  Has anyone ever been able to throw one of these down without breaking out in grease sweats?  I should have tried to order the half order version like I used to.  Back in high school when I had a buddy that worked at Bennigan's in Tyler we would get our ticket "comp'd" which would usually result in half-price or free Death by Chocolate!  Man, this place is seriously good and seriously unhealthy.  I wouldn't be surprised if there are lawsuits from fat people unions across the country that pop up, kind of like the cigarette lawsuits in the late 90's.  I won't be a part of that, so I'll just use this blog here to coordinate my ranting. 

Jan and I are excited about the weekend coming up because her bro and sis-n-law are coming in and are brining their baby girl, whom I have not met yet.  Looking forward to some possible kayak time at Town Lake and a trip up 35 on Sunday to see the return of the attitude when Baylor plays against TCU.  It should be a fun game to watch as TCU is a top 25 team and Baylor is confident for the first time in a while.  Sic 'em.

I've waited over half of my life to be able to say that Baylor has beaten the Aggies in football.  The biggest sporting highlight for me personally in quite a while took place on Saturday night, as my Baylor Bears showed some major cahones by going for two in overtime to beat the Ags 35-34.  Wow!  What a game!  I listened to most of the 4th quarter and overtime on the radio, which really makes things that much more dramatic.  You are really forced to focus on the details of the game so you know what is going on from play to play. 

So, when I heard that Baylor converted the 2 point attempt, I ran through Chance's house screaming and yelling and ran out into the front yard and wrestled around with their dog Bailey.  It was quite a moment and I was glad to have Bailey to share it with. 

Now, it's time for the Bears to build some momentum and some confidence!  Let's start catching the eyes of some of these recruits out there.  We've got to do something to compete with the other teams in the Big 12 whose football budgets are 5 times what Baylor's is. 

All in all, it was a great moment for Baylor athletics and I don't feel sorry at all for the team that beat us 73-10 last year...revenge is sweet, especially after losing time after time since 1986. Way to go BU!!!
