OK, OK, now leave me alone!

Well, for all of you that have been whining about the fact that I haven't updated my blog in a while, here is a little something for you to think about:
1. It's my blog and I can let it sit and grow moss if I want to AND
2. Maybe you should tell your boss you don't have enough to do!

Wow. And what a season it was...

Well, it wasn't a national championship, but it was great. Thanks Fighting Illini basketball for all the achievements this year.
1. The best record in men's division 1
2. Only two losses, with an average loss by only 3 points
3. A winning average of over 10 points
4. One of the greatest comebacks in tourney history against Arizona
5. Classy wins in the Big 10 tourney after Coach Weber's mom died
6. Making Dick Vital eat crow all season
7. Longest run at #1
8. Dee Brown

Again, guys, thanks.

Final Four time! Go Illini!

Old Princeton yells her Tiger,
Wisconsin, her Varsity
And they give the same old Rah, Rah, Rah,
At each University,
But the yell that always thrills me
And fills my heart with joy,
Is the good old Oskee-Wow-Wow,
That they yell at Illinois.

Os-kee-Wow-Wow,
Illinois,
Our eyes are all on you.
Oskee-Wow-Wow,
Illinois,
Wave your Orange and your Blue.
Rah! Rah!
When the team trots out before you,
Every man stand up and yell,
Back the team to victory,
Os-kee-Wow-Wow.
Illinois.

That icy, cold feeling

Tuesday, January 4th, 2PM. A large ice storm moves into Wichita and takes down the large tree in our backyard. That tree then falls onto the electric line to our house and pulls it down. So, no power and no heat since. We've been living in a hotel waiting for power to be restored, which could be Wednesday or Thursday of this week, due to the massive number of power outages in the area. Oddly enough, the phone and cable (same company) were also cut off, but that was repaired in just two days. We would have just stayed in the house, but the three days following the ice storm had temperatures well below freezing. Monday morning a kerosene heater will be delivered and we'll move back into the dark house. And I've had to work EVERYDAY this week. Ask me how I feel about Kansas...

On a good note: the #1 ranked University of Illinois men's basketball team is still undefeated! Go Illini!
