Recently, apparently, there was a poll for Oklahomans to help choose the official state rock song, a very important task indeed! After the voting was over, The Flaming Lips’ song “Do You Realize” came out on top. The state House, however, overrode the will of the people and stripped the song of its newly won …
From an email: I was walking down the street when I was accosted by a particularly dirty and shabby-looking homeless woman who asked me for a couple of dollars for dinner. I took out my wallet, got out ten dollars and asked, ‘If I give you this money, will you buy chocolate with it instead …
Earth Hour? “What’s that?” you say? Well, as best as I can figure from spending less than thirty seconds on the site (to which I won’t link :), it’s an organized effort to get people to turn of their lights for one hour in an attempt to save the Earth from us evil humans. Seeing …

I was going to be a wet towel and describe why I’m not excited about today, but decided not be a jerk. I’ll save those thoughts for another, more appropriate day. For now, even though I didn’t vote for him, he is my president (I’m looking at you, Al Gore fans) and I’ll pray for …
On Monday nights, I have karate class. After years studying, then years away, I’m excited to be back in it. My boys have picked up on that excitement. As I was leaving for class, Andrew said he wanted to go to watch my class. Noah also wanted to go to… “see Daddy dance.” Nice. 😛 …
I never thought I’d say that, but there it is. For the longest time, my impression of Oklahoma State football is that the only thing they care about is beating Oklahoma. If they go 1-10, they’re happy as long as that 1 is Oklahoma. In fact, a few years ago, after Oklahoma State beat Oklahoma, …
