Note: I’m posting this blog over a week late, but leaving the original date as it was mostly written at that time.
After 3 days of steady rain, Saturday was perfect. Max and Carol were in town again to visit the grandgirls, the sky was clear, and the breakfast was fabulous. How could it be anything but perfect when you’re at the Tavern with the Harrells, Bouceks, and Harveys.
Max and I spent the remainder of the morning cleaning out the basement that had flooded for the third time in as many days. There’s no point in having a sump pump if it’s not installed correctly. A few tweaks later, it drained the basement in no time at all. As if the rain wasn’t enough, Max also found a substantial leak in our washing machine hose that was contributing to the high tide.
After a little automotive work on the Jeep, we took off to Lowe’s for a replacement hose and a shiny, new pair of Channellocks. By game time, we had employed an array of handyman skills. I’m sure most of you know how rare it is for a single home improvement project to go as planned, much less four or five in the same day. I’m sure my next project will be a doozie . I’ve wasted many a Saturday mornings away waiting for game time with guilt. But this Saturday was different. We popped the top with a clear conscience and the pride that comes from a job well done.
The media and most fans seem to be attributing the Bulldawg’s stellar performance to Coach Richt’s celebration stunt after the first touchdown. However, they are wrong. The winds of change blew strong throughout the off season and the early part of the 2007 season, bringing with it the most prized new recruits in Bulldawg history. No doubt Georgia will once again dominate the Gators with the help of freshmen talent: Hendley, Reynolds, and Mary Reese. I’m already looking forward to next year! Go Dawgs!

Geeter,
What’s going on? I saw Joe Monday afternoon riding his bike. He says the bike works just fine, but you’ve told him he has to get a new baby seat for it…
I’m glad you sent the email about the updates on the blogs. I’ll have to start checking it more often now so I can be up on my parenting advice before we get going. We’ve got an appointment the 20th of Nov. that will be at about 16 weeks, so maybe we’ll know what sex the player to be named later will be…
Take it easy and tell Carly, Mary Reese and Sadie word up from from the homeland.
