My cousin, Karen, lives in Sooner Territory...Norman Oklahoma, to be precise. Tonight, the Sooners are playing our team, The University of Florida, Gators in the BCS Championship down the road in Miami.....Well, we have an Uncle, Bill, in Utah (who is NOT a Gators Fan..just ask him..or don't!) who loves to pull practical jokes. Knowing that Ron is the HUGE Gators Fan he is, and, at that point, he was still thinking the Ticket Fairy would land with tickets for the BCS Game, Uncle Bill put Karen up to one of his jokes last week....
Ring Ring Ring,
It is Karen calling to offer me "HER" tickets to the BCS Game because she wont be able to make it to South Florida. She cracked in the middle of the joke and told me, she just couldn't pull it off and it was Uncle Bill's idea. Well....I have been thinking about what I could do to beat him at his own game. Tonight I finally figured out what to do.....Read on...
Christmas Eve1961 at Aunt Marilyns house on State Street in American Fork, UTThis is Karen and her family, my Uncle Delbert, Aunt Betty, and her older brother, my cousin Jerry, and older sister, cousin Rita.
Tonight, just before Kick-off, I called my Uncle Bill in Utah. I left this message on his answering machine.... "I have to call now before KAREN and I enter the Stadium for the game. Isn't' it great we can attend the game together? Watch for us on TV!"
It was the best I could think of before the opportunity passed. HOWEVER....I am sure he did not fall for it..as I called from my HOME PHONE (duh!)
In reality, it would be awesome to go to a football game, or any event, with my cousin, Karen! I miss and love her!
Go Gators! It is Half Time and the score is TIED!
Get GOIN Gators!
