The gods are not smiling.....

.....on Mike. For Christmas, Shannon gave a ticket to Mike to attend the TTU game to be played in the Alamodome today. She even threw in a TTU shirt and face paint. Shannon and Mike have both been looking forward to attending the game since they found out the game was scheduled to be played in the Alamodome.

Mike woke up this morning at 3am with a stomach virus. Needless to say, Mike is feeling, well, a little like caca today. Sam pulled the plug on Mike going to SA today to attend the game. We are all feeling sorry for Mike...not only because he feels like he got hit by a train but also because he won't make it to the game today.

On a lighter note, we survived Christmas and all the holiday cheer. Joy, joy, happy, happy and all that good stuff. Kris is still home from college and has taken full advantage of doing nothing. Its been nice to have her underfoot. Sam scheduled a prescribed burn on New Year's Eve and it worked according to plan. He actually let me be a "torch girl" and I got to help get the party started. Sam's plan was to burn about 220 acres and although it was still damp under the trees, he says we did a lot of good for the pasture that houses the whitetail deer.

We ate our black-eyed peas and scrounged up enough cabbage in our salad to call it good on New Year's Day. Bet Mike was wishing he had eaten some black-eyes peas last night....or maybe not considering how he feels today......
