Today is my granddaughter's 10th birthday! She is a beautiful red-head with an active imagination and a gentle and sensitive disposition. With six grandchildren (and another on the way), I cannot single out any one of them as more special than another; each has his or her own very special and unique qualities.
For Hayley, it is her very active mind. She is blessed with a natural curiosity that, properly tempered by discipline, will serve her well as she grows and learns. She has a very gentle disposition. She loves and feels deeply, and she is not afraid to express her feelings in a way that makes everyone around her feel special.
I have very high hopes for her.
My much-aligned Baylor Bears finally, after a long and frustrating drought, have moved back into the national spotlight. The men's basketball team begins play in the tough Big 12 Tournament this week as the number 3 seed. The team is almost certain to win an invitation to the NCAA Tournament, and although Big 12 coaches predicted that the Bears would not finish the Big 12 season in the top half of the standings, experts now are saying that the Bears may well go deep into the NCAA Tournament.
If only our football team would take a few notes from the basketball program and wake up from its long hibernation, 2010 could become a banner year for Baylor athletics. Perhaps those who have criticized Baylor's selection as a member of the Big 12 will now be silenced.
