Where are the Big 12 Wraps?
Following That Bastard Ike, I wrote that blogging and some other activities might slow down for a while.
That's been true about blogging (at least Houston blogging, which probably isn't going to ramp back up to normal speed until sometime after the elections), but it's been more true about my football watching -- which has declined considerably. Part of that is because until yesterday, my Dish Network was only locking on one of three satellites, meaning I wasn't getting most sports channels. Part of it is just because I've decided more active pursuits* than sitting behind TV/computer are in order for the fall.
I'm hoping to get in backpacking trips in the Oklahoma Ouachitas over the next two weekends, along with some more family time in Oklahoma. I may take a portable radio to listen to OU-Texas in the woods on Saturday. I may not. *shrug* I am looking much more forward to setting up the hammock for a night of stargazing at the top of a Ouachita mountain than following any football game. So long as the weather cooperates!
Needless to say, I don't foresee any of the Big 12 blog wraps until such time as I actually am watching some of the games again. But maybe I'll get some good outdoors photos to post. :)
* Last night, I ditched NBC's NFL game to walk the dog with Callie -- with my loaded-and-ready-to-go backpack on. I'll do this for the next few nights, since it's hard to simulate the activity in the gym. It should make things easier and leave me less sore during the real thing. It may also make people in the neighborhood wonder about the crazy man wandering about.
