Potpourri (Is that how you spell that?)

Brrr! It's a little chilly out there today. At least we are not in a situation like some Missouri residents are dealing with today. From last week's snow/ice storm, many in the St Louis area still do not have electricity. I emailed my friend in St Louis who says she's doing ok, but they have much damage-this is the second time in two years this city has been hit with a storm severe enough to knock a million people flat on their behinds.

Closer to home, how 'bout them WSU Shockers! Ranked 10th in the polls last week, this little team with the odd looking mascot (truly, how many of you think a shock of wheat is an intimidating presence?) has soared to new heights. Mark Turgeon is a coach you can define pretty well by using words such as intense, driven, and focused, and, his team shows it. You probably won't find me at Koch arena cheering the guys on, but I'm an avid follower of their successes and failures. KU and K-STATE, your Jayhawkers and Wildcats don't hold a candle to our little wheat guy.

Time to get the car warmed up and get going. Big meeting today-let's hope we can put our personalities and past histories behind us and made a good decision about one of our students-she's counting on us.
