Redrum?

All quiet on the blogging front thus far. Classes are out for the week here at WSU, and combine that with the fresh half-inch of snow, there's a real Shining vibe here on campus.

Redrum? Redrum?

Cheryl and I braved the freezing rain and cold winds Saturday evening to watch my Oregon State Beavers unexpectedly redrum the Cougars 52-17, thusly ending any bowl chances for Wazzu (it's always fun to crush another team's hopes and dreams, leaving a hollow shell in our wake) while ensuring a possible Vegas Bowl berth for the forces of good. By halftime, what was left of the student section left to go get warm, dry and hopped up on schnapps, and the orange ponchos easily outnumbered the crimson sweaters.

What a bunch of wussies. I'm an old school Beaver; watching my team get blown out in the pouring rain, that's nostalgia, man. That's vintage 1990s-era Beaver football, and we got hopped up on schnapps before the game.

Young people these days...

On Friday, Cheryl and I had an opportunity to experience the Nintendo Wii for the first time, and now that our muscles have stopped aching (no joke), we desperately want one. If you'd like to get us one for Christmas, that'd be great, but I imagine we'll pick one up for ourselves beforehand. Extra controllers/games, however, might be an excellent suggestion.

No news from the Oregon Clinic as yet regarding the latest PET scan, but Cheryl will be bugging them some time this week to make sure they didn't forget about us here in the frozen wastes of western Idaho.
