OU broke its road curse against Baylor, setting up a stemwinder of a bedlam game. Rather than focus on the in-state rivalry, I’m gonna spend a little time enjoying my home state having two such highly rated football teams.

I broke down and went to see the Harry Potter film. It’s certainly a movie for the avid fans and not much of anyone else. If you just go watch it as a movie and didn’t read the books or go see the previous ones, it’s damn near incomprehensible. It starts at no particular discernible point and meanders to an obvious muddle and no other place. Without the background, everything’s just WTF? The movie just can’t stand alone as a work and is, therefore, the weakest of all the series. No one seems to notice that Emma Watson and Daniel Ratcliff are way too long in the tooth to be schoolchums. Rupert Grint, “Ron”, lumbers through his part carrying far too much weight — success has been rather too good for him, it seems. Other than that, there’s no big motivation, no suspense, and darn little action. Having seen some 3D actioners, even the special effects don’t seem all that special. To put it bluntly, I walked away “ho hum”.

I’m also no fan of the clouds that have rolled in this Sunday morning because I know that changes in the weather that are coming will make me hurt more than usual.

Get off my lawn!
