Sooners Men's Gymnastics

Last night was Cleveland Elementary night at the Men's Gymnastics meet of Oklahoma vs. Iowa. Here's the Sooners write-up on it.

Anyway, I went with Jacob and David. Jacob did well the whole time. David started having trouble staying in his seat towards the end. Tired and still young enough, I guess. But he claimed to be interested. Not sure I'll bring him next time to a late event. And still glad we didn't bring Sam. Sam gets sleepy extra soon, too.

So, fun enough times. Gymnastics is crazy. Fascinating to watch. Hard to believe people can do stuff like that.

Also, the men's gymnastics team does volunteer work at Cleveland. Jacob says that at one Friday assembly, one of the team jumped over like 20 students and teachers. Seems crazy. Not sure exactly what it was like. (Oh, and I doubt that counted as volunteer work. They do real help, too, I think.)

Tom's Political Spectrum Quiz Results

Got reminded of this political spectrum quiz thing by Will Baird. Here are my results (though I frequently dislike general labels applied to specific answers, but this one gives complex enough results that I find it more interesting than some):

My Political Views
I am (... this text is directly from the quiz ...) a center-left moderate social authoritarian
Left: 1.1, Authoritarian: 2.36



My Foreign Policy Views
Score: -3.64



My Culture War Stance
Score: 2.09



My own comment again: Usually conservatives call me liberal and vice versa.
