Catching Up

No real news or any big happenings to report. I was going to head to the Alabama mountains to play at a beautiful golf course today--but that did not work out. So, I guess this is sort of a boring report.

We are in the middle of football season in these parts. The regular season of high school football just ended this past weekend, as it did in Texas. The Carrollton Trojans won their region (similar to districts in Texas). They will probably host a few games at home, if they are able to keep winning. They will face their toughtest test of the season in the third week of the playoffs, should they advance that far. They will place Carver-Columbus, the team that knocked them out last year--and I hear it will be there, so that should be difficult.

College football is in full swing, to say the least. We are holding our own for the Texas Longhorns--everyone knows where our allegiances lie. And even though NFL football is not big here, seeing as how the Falcons are lousy, people know of our passion for the Cowboys. Speaking of the Cowboys, How 'Bout Them Cowboys?

We are glad the NBA season is upon us. I expect people will soon learn of our passion for the Mavs. We have gotten to see a couple of their games, so far, as many of their games will be on national TV this year. We are thinking about getting NBA League Pass, so we can see all of their games. But if we do that, we will probably wait until later in the season--when it is cheaper, plus I do not know if I could keep up with all of that basketball. Their games come on so stinkin' late here. The other night, they were on TNT--against Golden State--but it did not come on until 10:30 p.m. here. 10:30 p.m.!

The leaves are beautiful here. Fall is spectacular. We expect spring to be, as well.
