A Man, a Dog, and Some Jayhawks
Saturday night I went to my first non-NCAA tourney Division I basketball game. Kansas played a terrible game at the Ferrell Center in Waco. I'm not going to replay much on the 37.5% shooting that lead to their 81-58 loss, but it did put a big question mark by their possible 1 seed in the NCAA tournament. The evening, overall, was fun though. The two hours to and from Waco and the burger and fries at "The Health Bar" were a nice retreat for an evening.
Any chance that Arcee was to be Jack's dog have pretty much become non-existant. My daily companion apparently spent the entire evening pacing the house looking for me, then resolved herself to sleep by the front door, until my return. She was a nice welcome long after the rest of the family has fallen asleep.
Arcee has become the recognizable face of the dog who picks Jack up from school everyday. She looks out the window at all the kids and mom shouting "Look, a puppy!" as we sit in the carpool line. The lady who calls out our carpool position berated me a month ago when I had Arcee shaved in preparation of the Summer months, and the principal has joked with Jack a few times that Arcee looked like a ferocious attack dog.
This week's adventures will be with Jack's first Spring Break. Let's see what trouble the boys can get into.
