So many social engagements...

...so little time.

Been a hectic several days, thus no updates. Trust me, it's not because I don't think about you.

Spent an extended weekend in Dallas. Visited Oktoberfest at Addison. Watched the Hogs get slaughtered (ouch!) by top-ranked USC. I thought surely, they'd keep it within the 32-point spread. Now the din of wailing and gnashing of teeth in Razorback land is nearly unbearable. Is it truly the end of times? Oh wait, I think USC just scored AGAIN! Maybe the Hogs defense will make the trip to Bama for Saturday's game. But the Democrat-Gazette tells us that after the most last 4 embarassing losses in the modern era, the Hogs have bounced back to win the following week.

On Sunday, we walked through the new IKEA store (it was more fun than I expected).

Then it was Monday Night Football and my favorite Cowboys taking on classic rivals, the Washington Redskins. Plus, the 'Boys inducted three of my favorites, Emmitt Smith, Troy Aikman and Michael Irvin into the Cowboys Ring of Honor at Texas Stadium.

Meanwhile on the field, the Cowboys blew a 13-point lead by giving up 2 long TD passes in the game's final 3 minutes. Oh, then it was a 2 mile walk up a busy Interstate after midnight back to the car.

It was a great time - except sportswise. My photos from the Cowboys game to follow soon.
