Longhorns were my favorite college team, growing up. Haven't watched much college football in years, but always like them. Never was a big Notre Dame fan, until the movie "Rudy" came out. After that, you know, always liked them. Now, my wife works for a major Catholic university, so if I don't root for Notre Dame, I get punched in the shoulder, hard. In that sense, she is a bit like Knute Rockne, only more aggressive and more intimidating.
I love it when I somehow wake up at 3 AM, on a clear night, when everything is quiet...go out in the backyard and look at the constellations.
I love it when I look at some happy well-fed people, sitting round the table after a meal that I have prepared.
