Between games

This is a bonanza year for wildflowers in Texas. Two years of drought, followed by one of the wettest six months on record last fall and winter, and then the freezing rain and light snow in south Texas ... the ideal setup for a large show this spring.

Dave and I took the day off from basketball — we meandered through the countryside south of San Antonio to see the glorious show of wildflowers. It was as spectacular as promised. And now we're relaxed and ready for another anxious night tomorrow.

The media blitz continued in our absence:
