Saturday Morning Open Thread

Not much going on today other than basketball (sorry ’bout your ‘Horns, Mark!), gardening for some of us in warmer climes–although it hit 52 here yesterday afternoon, the overnight low was still 28–and weekend chores.

In addition to UT’s loss in the Big 12 conference championship last night, the Utes lost their final home gymnastics meet to Nebraska 197.6 – 197.45; Nebraska put on a hell of a show, because they only had seven active gymnasts for the meet and five of their athletes went all around.  Now those are some tough chicks!

Last, I thought  this was actually pretty good:

 

 

What do you guys have going on this weekend?

NOTE: And why, oh why, did I schedule a hair appointment for 12:15 on a day when MSU is going to start playing at 11:40 local????

  1. Interesting retrospective on Iran:

    “Iran held me hostage three decades ago. It shouldn’t hold America hostage today.

  2. Record the game, ‘Goose and threaten any hairdresser who wants to tell you the score with unspeakable bodily harm.

    My sister went to MSU, PhD at UNC-CH, her daughter went to UT. Sis and bro-in-law live in Durham. My niece has taken a job near Lawrence. NCAA’s are accompanied by all caps emails in my family.

    Its more like April than March.

  4. Don’t have a way to record it, Mark, since I don’t have TV. . . and my hairdresser wouldn’t know the difference between and basketball and a baseball–but it turned out OK anyway. 🙂

    Sounds like a gorgeous day in MN, bsimon! It’s too nice to stay inside here now that I know the game result, so I’m going to take the dogs and go for a hike in the hills. Catch you all later!

  5. I almost started a separate thread on this, but it probably doesn’t merit one. Still, a furniture store in the UK has the Best. Slogan. Ever.

    Prices that are Sofa King Low.

    Say it out loud.
