What A Long Strange Trip...

its been....

Just made it back from a weekend in Commerce, GA which is on the outskirts of Athens, GA (home to the Univ of GA).

My sister-in-law lives down there, with her husband and 4 children. We had a great trip, and made the 8+ drive home yesterday. It took about 9.5 with a few stops for the little one to get out of the car-seat...

The weirdest thing to happen was while sitting and watching TV, and perusing my BB, I went to cnn.com and the headline was about a UGA Professor going on a killing spree...

That was weird!

The Other Night...

I reffed a game, and the PA System was not working...so the home team sung the National Anthem (not particularly well, I might add)...

File that under things you do not see everyday!

Good Weather...

finally...it is suppose to get to 70 today! This is overdue!

Madden

Not sure how I feel about this guy...




It seems that he brought stability to the S/M NF crew, after the disaster that was Dennis Miller, and the other people who tried and failed.

I think he was at his best, when he was with Summerall, while Pat was still coherent.

John Madden was a pretty good announcer, save for his random love affairs with Brett Farve / Emmitt Smith and the likes...

It will be interesting to see who replaces him...

Traffic

Traffic for the most part does not bother me...I figure it to be part of the grind of going to and from work each day...however this re-work of the Beltway (I-495) and the extension of Metro out to Dulles is going to literally cripple Tyson's Corner, and make each day, for the next few years a miserable experience...

AWESOME!

2 Things...

I just had some Jelly Beans for the 1st time in a LONG time. I am not talking about "Jelly Bellys," I mean the old fashioned kind...pretty good!

I was driving home last night from reffing along Rte 1 in Alexandria, and came across a restaurant called "The Las Vegas Restaurant" and it got me thinking about what that place was all about, as I love Vegas. As I got closer, I read the sign..."Salvadorian and Mexican Food"

Mhhhhhh!

Not A Happy Camper...

Our power blew out yesterday at around 1230 in the afternoon, and did not come on until about 6PM. I missed 85% of The Masters...

Sweet!

As For The Masters Draft!

My Team looks like the following:

Phil Mickleson
Trevor Immelman
Zach Johnson
Angel Cabrera
Rory Sabbatini
Graehme McDowell
Carl Petterson
Briny Baird

It Has Been Quite A While...

and for that I apologize...

Some things I wanted to say...

• We had out Masters Draft yesterday, and it is always so much fun. For the 2nd time in the 8 year history, one of the guys drafted a player who was not participating...
• This thing is a crap-shoot ever year!
• See you later Big Bird on American Idol. You were talented, but you were also a little scary looking...Best of luck
• Paula, I still want to smack you in the face

Thats all I got right now...

O's, by the way, are 2-0.
