This is saturday before big Wednesday. Tina here is coming up on 38 weeks in her pregnancy. My parents had us over for a little dinner. Little did we know that four days later, I'd be seeing my little girl for the first time!

Fantasy Football. I'm in a league. I was winning by 17 points tonight. Anquan Boldin is on my opponent's team. It's only a matter of time before I lose again. $125 lost again this year. That's not so good.

Yesterday, I joined much of the U.S. (and maybe a few others elsewhere) watching the Super Bowl. The game was less than exciting. There have been better games. Then again, there have been worse games. It was relatively close which was good, but neither team played very well. I've been a Steelers fan since my brother played little league football back in like 1976 and since those great Bradshaw, Swan, Stallworth, Harris, Greene, etc. Steelers teams of the 70s. For some reason, though, I was hoping Seattle would do well. It's probably due to my allegiance to the NFC (currently, the Falcons are my team). Also, I always tend to root for subjects of my articles (see this article on Mack Strong.)

All in all, I'm glad football season is over. It's not because I don't like football season. It's because I like it way too much. Now, the wife can have a bit more of my time, and maybe I can spend some more time writing, reading, playing a little guitar, getting less fat, etc.

There was a time when all I wanted was a decent home to escape from the pound. 2 sqaure meals. A walk every once in a while. But you know, I was selling myself short. I am short. But that's another story. I thought beagles (or in my case, mostly beagle, I think--never knew my parents) were destined to sniff the ground, look cute, and bark at little animals.

That was until I heard of Bowden Simpson. I've been living well below my potential. If Bowden can make sweet old ladies in the nursing home feel happy for a second, so can I! If Bowden can talk to preachers in Biloxi about how he can help with hurrican relief, so can I! If Bowden can sit in on legal depositions, so can I! (not sure if I want to, but I can do it).

So... My goal is to be like Bowden Simpson. If only Brett would give me the chance!

Apparently, I don't have anything to say except to post a pic when our month wedding anniversaries (this is number 4). We're heading to the mountains of North Carolina to the family cabin. This is the view off the porch.
