Last evening, my son, Caleb, and I went to see "Glory Road." We arrived early because I overcompensated believing the traffic on the highway and at the ticket window would be heavier. So, we did what a father and son should do. Bought popcorn and coke, Deal #1, and raced on the Arctic Cat, commanded tanks fighting enemy combatants, and fought in a paintball contest in a pretend suburban city.

We enjoyed the movie much. It is a great story, well told. It didn't elicit the emotion that "Hoosiers" did, but it was a thankful time because of the enjoyment from being with Caleb and after the movie we talked a little about racism, basketball, perserverence on and off the court.

Today, after Caleb's basketball game, we head to College Station. We will visit with friends, eat good food, watch the Patriots and the Broncos on a big screen while our kids run, jump, pretend, and laugh.

That is a pretty good Saturday.

Were you pullin for the Patriots or the Broncos? So, Glory Road was good? I figured it would be hard to make a college basketball movie, it would always be compared to Hoosiers! That's like making another Irish revolution flick about a man named Wallace fighting the English...
Great posts!

p.s. How were the pancakes?
