Here We Go Again!

No pictures today, but there will be more soon! Tomorrow is the day. Drama Queen will be delivering her baby girl bright and early. It's all scheduled. She is doing wonderful. She is healthy. Baby is healthy. All is well. We discovered from her medical records she delivered five weeks early with little Reece. Yikes. That was really early. This time, she is only five DAYS early. All should be just fine! Name you ask? That has been the most stressful. She has about five picked out and is all a dither about what it should be. I told her when she looked into her daughter's eyes, she will know. She wasn't convinced. Back up plan? She will call me and I will submit the names into a hat and draw one. Great story to tell her when she grows up.

I will be heading down south Friday to pick those two up and bring them back here for a few weeks. Give them a chance to get to know each other and let the entire family meet the new member of the family. Maybe our Texas Tornado will pay us a visit too!

Stay tuned! I shall update as soon as I know the details.

JAYHAWKS LOSE ON STEVE MCQUEEN'S BIRTHDAY



You read that correctly. I know it's difficult to believe, but the Jayhawks had a difficult night. Their shooting was off and UCLA was very on. There you have it. The Jayhawk season is over. The Elite Eight is nothing to sneeze at considering the last two seasons, but it ain't the Final Four. Bright side? Brandon? Will you stick around next year... please? All of you? Please give us one more year with all of you together? That would be great!!! This was the first year this team was all together and look what they accomplished. Next year.... UNSTOPPABLE!

What does this have to do with Steve McQueen? Well, it's his birthday! Dweeb and I travelled to Slater, MO (his hometown) for the festivities to celebrate. Much memorabilia, Steve McQueen movies, tour, car show, his motorcycles, etc. In attendance were his widow Barbara McQueen (still gorgeous), his best friend and trainer Pat Johnson, and his stunt double Loren Janes. Many personal stories about Steve were shared with everyone. He was not only Mr. Cool (not to mention hot), he was just a great guy. I had a better picture, but knowing so many of you are so YOUNG you may not KNOW who Steve McQueen is (which is a sin), I posted this picture because you have probably seen his face. If you don't know, at the time of his death in 1980 at age 50 he was the highest paid actor in the world, he raced motorcycles and is in the motorcycle hall of fame, and he raced cars (the movie "Cars" named the main car Lightening McQueen after him)

So, HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEVE MCQUEEN! We miss you!

Oh yeah.... GO UCLA!
