Happy Halloween!

All Shook Up

Tom and I and Henry have been in Oklahoma for 2 years and 5 months and in that time we have experienced the strangest weather and natural disasters.

A short list of the oddities:

• 20 tornadoes in an afternoon
• Softball size hail
• Widespread flooding caused by 10 inches of rain in a morning
• Wildfires within the city limits
• A blizzard that would have lived up to South Dakota standards
• Hurricane rain

Well today we had an earthquake. A 5.1 magnitude earthquake to be exact. Really?!? An earthquake, what's next? It shook the whole town and was felt as far away as Tennessee.

So in honor of todays events, here's a list of rockin' and rollin' good songs:

• "If the House is a Rockin'"-Stevie Ray Vaughn
• "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On"-Jerry Lee Lewis
• "Shake It Up"-The Cars
• "Good Vibrations"-The Beach Boys
• "Shake Your Booty"-KC and the Sunshine Band
• "Shake Shake Shake Senora"-Harry Belefonte
• "You Shoke Me All Night Long"-AC/DC
• "I Felt the Earth Move"-Carole King
• "Rock This Town"-Stray Cats
• "All Shook Up"-Elvis Presley

Happy Wednesday!

Well, in case you didn't know, this is OU-Texas weekend. And it's kind of a big deal down here. The Red River Rivalry is one of the longest most intense rivalries in sports. This is one of the largest adjustments Tom and I have had to make since moving south. Don't get me wrong, we like our professional football, but people down here REALLY like their college football. We have become well versed in Big 12 this and NCAA that. We've learned that OU's colors are not red and white, but crimson and cream. I've purchased the obligatory t-shirt and even occasionaly wear it. So for all the diehard OU fans, this weekend might as well be a national holiday. Radio stations have created OU-Texas songs. And everybody knows at least one Texas Sucks joke.
So with that being said, I'm going to settle in on the couch and watch some college football. Boomer Sooner!!!
