dear texas,
thanks for doing us a solid with the weather.  this morning's running weather was the perf.  looking forward to more days like this.

i hope you never lose the enthusiasm for learning you currently have.  stay curious.

dear life,
there are so many ways i could take you.  how do i choose?

dear tier 1 friends,

mythbusters

myth #1: armadillos only exist as roadkill.

after living in texas for over two years, i finally saw my first wild, non-roadkill armadillo.  up until now i've only seen a bloody, flattened carcass on the side of the road, suggesting they just come that way.  myth.  busted.

myth #2: aggies have a healthy level of school pride.

i'm sure to get some flack from friends and co-workers about this, but after experiencing a texas a&m football game (and my, was it an experience), the amount of school pride is beyond healthy.  it's borderline scary.  myth.  busted.

myth #3:  school will be less busy this year.

myth blown to smithereens. good thing the kids are wonderful.

myth #4: it can be fall without cool weather.

c'mon, texas! throw us a bone and hand out a day that requires a sweatshirt!

myth #5: i don't miss the siebach schwestis.

need siebach schwestis stat.
