Dancing with the Stars started this week.  It did not disappoint!  There are some, of course, that aren’t dancers but there are several that are pretty good week 1 and should just get better and better and better.  Who are my favorites?  Well, Lance Bass was my favorite going into this season.  His partner is perfect for him.  Here was their first dance of the competition.

I also think Brooke Burke is going to be a favorite all season long.  Warren Sapp is a very pleasant surprise.  He’s a good sized guy but can definitely move!

Bikes, Blues, & BBQ started last night in Fayetteville.  I knew this bike rally was large but I didn’t realize how large -- 3rd largest bike rally in the country and largest charitable bike rally in the country.  The rally raises money for some great local charities.  In the past, I’ve attended a concert or two during the rally -- Big & Rich 2 years ago, actually.  The concert this year is the Allman Brothers on Saturday night.  I have a friend’s engagement party to go to so I won’t be attending.  It should be a good concert, though, I’m sure.

The Razorbacks finally play the Longhorns on Saturday afternoon.  The game is a couple of weeks later than it should have been because of Hurricane Ike but I don’t think the outcome is really going to be that different.  It isn’t that I’m a pessimist.  I’m thinking of myself more of a realist right this moment when thinking about the game.  I would absolutely love to be proved wrong, though.  The game is on tv and I’m going to my parents’ house to watch the game & hang out.
