Yesterday morning at 4:30 our phone rang to give us the GREAT news that school was closed due to the snow. Rachel and I were so full of praise that it was hard to get back to sleep, though we ended up sleeping in. As we had the whole day off I was thinking to myself that snow days are so much nicer as a teacher than I can ever remember them being as a kid. It was also a double blessing because our snow day just happened to fall on Valentine's Day. Cupid must have been looking out for us (Actually, enough of that garbage). I'm a horrible husband because I didn't even get Rachel anything for this special day of love (sarcasm). We did go out for lunch and then went to see "Daddy's Little Girls" in the theatre. It was a good movie to see on Valentine's Day! The movie raises a lot of good dialogue about race, class, gangs, and those types of issues. Very relevant to the context that Rachel and I are in.
KU is back on their winning ways after annihalating Colorado on their home floor last night. As has been their criticism all year, I wonder if KU can stay consistent as they head down the stretch. After the loss to A & M at home, we have pulled out convincing wins over K-State, Mizzou, and Colorado. The way things are looking I predict that the final game of the regular season at home against Texas is going to be huge and probably for first place of the Big 12. Quite frankly, Texas scares me because of the play of their big man, Kevin Durant. I can't see Sasha Kaun or even Darrell Arthur being a stop to Texas' scoring machine. Along those same lines, if KU runs into a team in the Big Dance with a substantial big man who knows how to play, I think that the Jayhawks will have another early exit. Let's just hope that I am wrong.
