I realize the true Impossible Dream season belongs to the 1967 Red Sox. I realize that the greatest rivalry in baseball belongs to the Yankees and Red Sox. I realize that the longest World Series drought belongs to the Chicago Cubs, who have been waiting 102 years – and counting – since their last series… Continue reading Yankees, Go Home!

Being Transformed
I’ve said it before, and it bears repeating now: It’s time. Sure, it’s time for the Rangers to finish what they’ve started in this amazing post-season run. But there’s a personal side to this, too. And for me, it’s time. Time to deepen friendships. To renew bonds with those I don’t have the opportunity to… Continue reading Being Transformed
Catchin’ Some Rays
When you’re unemployed, all luxury spending gets cut out of the budget. No more eating out. No more non-essential clothing items (I’m still trying to convince Matt that a new pair of shoes *is*, in fact, essential). No “impulse buys.” No frivolous purchases at the grocery store, just because “it looked good.” No, all those… Continue reading Catchin’ Some Rays
That’s My Boys!!
It’s Time. It took ’em eleven long years, but it finally happened. And now…it’s time! Time for the AL West Division Champions flag to wave over Rangers Ballpark in Arlington. Time for the Texas Rangers to continue their season beyond 162 games. Time for Rangers fans to take the paper bags off our heads, shake… Continue reading That’s My Boys!!
An Unlikely Hero
These are always the most difficult 3 days of my year: when the Rangers travel to Boston to take on my beloved Red Sox at Fenway. My allegiances are put to the test: do I honor family tradition and my roots? or do I swear allegiance to my Texas, the place where I have built… Continue reading An Unlikely Hero

WHEEE!!!! *giggles and squeals of excitement* OMG…I’m so excited, I can hardly stand it!! It’s OPENING DAY, BABY!!! *jumping up and down* And to top it all off, we have the Sox and Hankies playing each other tonight on national TV!! Woot! *doing the happy dance* It must be my birthday! No…wait…it really *IS* my… Continue reading You say it’s your birthday…
Chasing the Wind
Yet when I surveyed all that my hands had done and what I had toiled to achieve, everything was meaningless, a chasing after the wind; nothing was gained under the sun. Ecclesiastes 2:11 Yep, that pretty much sums up my NCAA brackets after this weekend’s games.
Back in the Saddle
She posts! And there is an audible *thunk* from the jaws of my few beloved faithful readers hitting the floor. Yes, it’s been awhile. For most of the past year, I have made a valiant attempt to keep the content on this blog somewhat current. I even had the best of intentions at the beginning… Continue reading Back in the Saddle
Stop the World, I Want to Get Off!
When my children were babies, our Saturdays weekends revolved around activities where we could be assured of being home in time for afternoon naps. At least one of us would be tied to the house for a good three hours between lunch and dinner. Sometimes I’d sigh longingly and be anxious for the day when… Continue reading Stop the World, I Want to Get Off!
Is that a pig flying?
We interrupt your normally scheduled Wednesday American Idol prediction post to bring you this important message: THE TEXAS RANGERS ARE IN FIRST PLACE IN THE AMERICAN LEAGUE WEST. I’m in shock.  Utter disbelief. Completely and totally incredulous. And either a cold front has moved through hell or I just saw a pig flying outside my… Continue reading Is that a pig flying?
