Our new dean at the McCombs School of Business led a panel discussion on the market meltdown. I took graphic notes (see above). Then we posted my rendering at McCombs TODAY, the news blog I just helped start. Then I got to give the dean my comic and he called me a “smart ass!” I was proud and delighted on so many levels!!!
Here are the songs I got to record on-air at KOOP yesterday with a video and pics by Maile.

Here’s a little ditty I wrote on a Sunday morning walk from the pool (which was closed). As I walked back thinking about the upcoming election, I passed a squirrel and it triggered this song.
Be A Bigger Animal
you’re walking along
you see a squirrel
chewin on a nut
right by your path
keep your head up
don’t be afraid
leave him alone
you might say hi
be the bigger animal
act like a bigger animal
remember Steve
taught us to say
ain’t she a beaut!
even that stingray
not knowing who
this champion was
he loved her too but
she took him from us
be the bigger animal
act like a bigger animal
if you lack confidence
remember dogs
sniffin’ away
they’re not afraid
of how they feel
they go right up
and say how are you
in their own way
be the bigger animal
act like a bigger animal
if you find yourself
shooting at wolves
from a helicopter
it’s time to ask
is this a sport?
or is this dumb
why do i kill
like this for fun?
Obama is
the man of this time
because he realizes
in order for us to survive
we’ve got to get beyond
an America
that can’t focus upon
our future good
be the bigger animal
act like a bigger animal
