Back from Mississippi
"Ursula and I spent the last 4 days on a whirlwind road trip to Mississippi. Thanks to Top Dog Pet Resort for taking excellent care of our K9s and to Freeman Fiala – Freeman’s Pet Service for checking on the cats each day. All of the kids seem no worse for wear although we were [...]"

Two games is too much for Griner
"Wednesday, Brittney Griner delivered a punch that was heard around the world. The problem is Griner isn’t a boxer. She is a freshman on the No. 14 Baylor women’s basketball team and her punch came during a game against Texas Tech. The incident was captured on ESPN and showed repeatedly across the media spectrum. It was [...]"
75th Birthday
"My mother will celebrate her 75th Birthday tomorrow, March 5. Whenever she is asked her birthdate, she is quick to answer 3/5/35. She was born in the eyes of March. In a little farm house between Enid & Pond Creek Oklahoma. She has had a tough life but a full life. If you ask her about [...]"
NHS coach resigns
"After 14 years, it looks like Norman High boys basketball coach Wes Clark has stepped down. Clark’s Tigers were 5-17 this year and lost in the first round of the regional tournament to Southmoore last week. "
Is hockey back?
"For a couple of hours Sunday, much of the world, including much of this country and nearly everyone north of us in Canada, sat riveted, watching the action unfold. In a hockey game. Team Canada ultimately won gold, its collection of NHL stars defeating Team USA 3-2 in a game that required more than 7 minutes of [...]"

Republicans can learn from bad movie
"While watching Thursday “momentous” Health Care Summit, a little known movie came to mind. Starring comic genius Eddie Murphy, “The Distinguished Gentleman” was not one of Murphy’s biggest hits. In fact, the 1992 flick could be considered a flop compared to other films on his resume. The plot centered around a con man who schemes his [...]"
We don’t really like winter
"The title says it all. We do like a break from the 100-degree summers, sure, but in the end we don’t like real “winter” around Oklahoma. We don’t mind the occasional bitterly cold night. But it better warm up so we can play golf within a few days, albeit a bit bundled up. That once a season [...]"
Knee Replacement Surgery
"In talking with a co-worker the other day, I was reminded of one of many of my trips to the hospital with my mother. Since I have been living with her, which started in Sept. of 2003, we have made several trips to the Midwest City Emergency Room which ended up in several hospital stays. [...]"
Miracle on Ice was a farce
"Feb. 22 was the 30th anniversary of the most overblown, overhyped event in sports history. For those who do not know that I’m referring to the “Miracle on Ice,” that helps prove my point. To listen to sportscasters and sports historians talk, you would think the United States hockey team beating the Soviet Union in the [...]"
Oh, Canada
"It’s been pretty much the in thing the last couple of days to make fun of Canada’s hockey team after its Sunday evening loss to the United States in the Olympics. The Canadians may yet wind up with the last laugh. They made a tough decision with their goaltending situation, benching veteran Martin Brodeur for Roberto [...]"
Construction At Our House
"I have found that as the years past by, my mother does not like to leave the house for any lenght of time. If she is away from the house she is out of her element and seems alittle lost or disoriented. Since the Ice storm of 2007, my mother has talked about having a stationary [...]"
We can’t rest being No. 4 in overall health
"It would be easy to sit back and be smug about Cleveland County’s fourth place ranking in overall health for the state’s 77 counties. We enjoy a high level of education, good health care availability, relatively clean jobs and recreation opportunities. But as long as our state ranks near the bottom in terms of overall health, [...]"
Security cameras come in handy
"Some of the most popular current television shows are shows such as “Caught on Camera.” They often show hidden cameras or security video of people doing outlandish things not knowing they are being watched on camera. But it also often shows crimes being perpetrated by people who could care less that the camera is running. When [...]"
Figure skating
"I’m sorry. I know I’m going to make a few people mad. But I just cannot believe, as I watch the men’s short program for a few minutes during coverage of the Vancouver Olympics, that this is considered a sport. I know these guys are tremendously athletic. I played hockey. I know how tricky it can be [...]"
No. 1 UConn pays OU a visit
"The University of Oklahoma has never beaten Connecticut. In seven previous meetings, the Sooners have walked away the losers every time. While everyone will be talking about the 64-game win streak the Huskies brings with them tonight to Lloyd Noble Center, when No. 1 UConn and No. 12 OU face-off, it’s the Sooners inability to [...]"
Super sports weekend
"For the weekend after the Super Bowl, it sure was a great weekend to be a sports fan. Even if it did mess some of us up on getting our Valentine’s plans together quite as well as we should have. Usually it’s kind of sad the week after the final meaningful football game for about seven [...]"
Durant at All-Star game
"Looking forward to watching Kevin Durant in the All-Star game. I am thinking he will get MVP. He is already second best player in NBA behind Kobe. "
