Special Olympics, the equestrian events, are back in Bryan-College Station again this year. (They used to rotate around the state a little better, but I’m not surprised that some think Aggieland is the center of the Texas universe.)

Sam shared the dates last night and we went ahead and book his room.

In years past, I would wait until closer to the date, always thinking that there would be room at the inns. But, despite my thoughts that Special O isn’t the kind of event that brings the masses to town, local hotels would be nearly sold out by the time I booked.

I only made that mistake about six times, and then I stopped.

I’m teachable, too.
