Are U Ready for Some Football???

It’s almost football season! I’ve been starved since the end of the NBA season. I follow baseball, but I don’t really watch it until the playoffs roll around. I broke down and watched the Miami/Chicago exhibition game last night. I must admit I was fascinated with the whole Ricky Williams situation and I wanted to see how he’d do. My Cowboys should be competitive this year – they’ll still probably lose two to the Eagles though. The M.R.S. will be happy if that happens. Oh, and college football – there’s nothing like it in the South. I’m trying to find some tickets for the Clemson/FSU game November 17th. It’s not easy rooting for the ‘Noles in the midst of all these Tiger crazies. Oh well. Clemson should be competitive this year too, though they’re so unpredictable they could win anywhere from 3 to 9 or 10 games. We’ll see.

It’s been interesting reading the comments about LYC. This was the first time since I’ve been in the church that our local congregation didn’t have a participant. One year one of our youths was sent home, but other than that, all of the returnees had nothing but praise for the camp. I’m a little disappointed that everything wasn’t perfect this year, but what is? I’m interested in knowing what was said there about some of the new directives that have been issued recently.

I’m really enjoying this respite from the 90+ degree temperatures. I don’t mind the rain so much. I actually like the almost daily afternoon thunderstorms. They clean the air, cool things down, and the lightning flashes are beautiful to watch. I might spray a little WD-40 on my old bike, knock off the spider webs, and get a little exercise today. Moving totally screwed up my exercise (semi) routine. I haven’t run, lifted any weights, or played any basketball since I moved. All my grand plans of playing Ultimate all summer have fallen by the wayside as well. I’ve got to do something today other than click the remote. I think I’ll go home and eat.

I had a shot of our new home here, but the address was clearly visible, and in this day & age that's not such a good idea.

So I ran. 1 mile; 10 minutes. I can tell a difference though after running on the incline by my old house - as I ran on the flat track today I not only didn't stagger across the finish line, I picked up speed as I rounded the last curve and held it up for the last 100+ yards! Yaaay for me!

Uh, you do know that on most tracks, 1 lap does not equal 1 mile, don't you?

Hey Michael, you better watch out, country girl is asking a lot of questions! Does the M.R.S. have access to your Blog? lol

Contry Girl --> I only plan to move 13 more times - then I'm done. There are 2 little ones and 1 not-little-anymore.
