Pick a Bale a Day
Deb was with Claire at a team tournament in New Braunfels, so I took Kate, Meg, and Scott over to Main Event. Meg wanted to do some wall climbing, and Kate followed Scott around while he did the games.
We decided to head over to Scholz Garten for lunch so we could catch some of the Texas Tech / OU game and eat at an Austin landmark, and what they claim is the oldest business in Texas, established in 1866, one year after the end of the Civil War.
We finished our knockin' about the town with a trip down to mall, at the insistence of Meg and Kate. Scott and I are not too keen on malls. As we were driving we caught the end of the Texas Tech / OU game which was quite unbelievable. The referees reviewed four of the last seven plays, and we thought the announcers were going to lose it a time or two.
The one announcer must have been practicing for weeks to say, "The Red Raiders are going to be pickin' cotton!" in full, gravel-throated voice. He had to do this twice after one of the touchdowns was reversed. We of course had to mimic this silliness for quite a while.
Congrats from us to our Red Raider nephew Sean, who I guess will be pickin' cotton come New Years day. Remember to jump down and spin around as you pick a bale that day.
