Red and Blue

I saw a lot of chatter on Facebook about yesterday's Uah - BYU football game.  I admit, I graduated from BYU, but I also attended the U for a year.  I also admit that, when I do see The Game, I want BYU to win.  But I left Utah in 1979, and since then, the importance or passion or whatever you want to call it of the rivalry has faded for me.  I think I have only seen 2 installments of The Game since then.  And one of them, I just happend to 'stumble upon' while we lived in San Antonio.  But just to show that The Game is more than a local passion, and that I don't bleed Cougar Blue, here is a true story from Katy, Texas.

About 20 years ago, on Sunday after The Game, at the beginning of Sunday School class, someone mentioned that BYU had defeated Utah, again.  To which someone else in the class (and I think it was Dave Swope, a real Red-blooded Ute) responded with something like "That's OK.  We're still waiting for a BYU grad to be President of the Church".  And 20  years later, we are still waiting.....

¿Do I Look That Old?

MTB teaches the 4-year-olds in Primary.  At the end of the meeting block, I always go to the classroom and wait with the kids and MTB, while the kids are waiting for their parents.  Today when I walked in the room, MTB had her back turned toward the door, so she didn't see me.  But the kids did, so they told her I was there:  'Sister Reed, Sister Reed, your Dad is here!!!'

What I Like about Houston
