Pissed off all yesterday… Hate to lose a game where we didn't bring the A Game….
Woke up this morning…The sun was up… The temps were pretty darn good…
My wife and all my extended family are all incredibly healthy and happy…
My golf game, from tee to green, is still sound…
The world, and all the beauty in it, is still here…
And, almost NOBODY really gives 2 sh*ts who won yesterday…
Gig 'Em… BTHO Missouri State !!
I travelled from Omaha back home to Texas for week. Weather was fantastic compared to Midwest winter.
Got to see my Mom and Dad at Christmas time for 4 days which meant the world to them and me.
Drove to College Station (a town that I have many great memories of) for the remaining 3 days.
Spent the weekend with Aggie wife of 31 years in the place where it all started.
Renewed old friendships over beer and pizza.
Ate some good mexican food I can't get in Nebraska (Texas always comes through for me on this one)
Watched my alma mater in a defensive thriller but we came up 5 yards short. I can't explain it but I'll never have to because I'm a fan and not a coach or player. They will feel this long after I have moved on.
24 hours later, I got to watch Lady Ag Volley Ball win a dominating national championship title. Gig'em. All my Nebraska friends and family were texting me and calling me within moments of the win. They were envious of us. Big win on a big stage whether you realize it or not.
Sun is up here in Omaha. Christmas is right around the corner. Mom and Dad made it one more Christmas.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year folks.
NOTE: 30 years of following the Aggies has taught me a million ways to deal with frustration and disappointment but I am still lucky to be and Aggie. And when we finally win it all, it will be that much sweeter.
