Nearly everywhere I go, I risk being the oldest person in the room. But I am not at risk whenever I go to the luncheon meetings for retired physicians that our two local hospitals thoughtfully hold several times a year. For example, last week, milling about before lunch, an always mirthful Bob O'Neil was taking great pleasure telling anyone who would listen that Bob Cotton, his cofounder of the now nearly 200- physician Cotton-O'Neil Clinic, seems to be in a state of denial about his recent 90th birthday. O'Neil can talk; he was born in 1920.

Dad, I am so happy," London said and raised both fists in the air. "LazyTown!" He leapt to the floor and ran back to our table where he would dance our layover away.

This was his favorite show, LazyTown, one of the strangest children's programs ever produced.

Altogether, the show has a colorful, carnival and cotton-candy demeanor, perhaps inadvertently enhanced by the cool, subdued setting. Demonstrating VaC's clever use of its air space are Grant Olsen's acrylic paintings on paper which hang suspended at center stage. Olsen's playful depictions of acrobats and other circus acts, culled from various sources and painted on large sheets of Strathmore drawing paper, are given an added dimension by the use of spotlights which create reve...

Mack Brown's nightmares usually come in shades of crimson and cream. When No. 2 Texas takes the field against flagging Oklahoma today in the 100th edition of the Red River Rivalry, one question from college football's collective conscious will hang in the air above the Cotton Bowl: Will Mack and his men melt against Bob Stoops' Sooners once again? The query isn't simply mean spirited. It's required given the preponderance of recent evidence.
