FOOTBALL AND RIVER VACATION

The genius and I had a great weekend filled with football among other things. We both enjoyed watching the Gators play (and win) and look forward to the Tennessee game this Saturday. They play in the "Swamp" which should certainly give them an advantage, but they have been known to lose important games there, too (i.e., the Mississippi game last year which my cousin Jane loved).

We also watched Michael warm the sidelines on Friday night. The one game he played in last week we didn't see. I'm sure we will see him knocking bodies about soon. By the way, he is the second biggest guy on the team, weight wise, and only in the 8th grade. He had to get his hair cut over the weekend, about which he is most unhappy, according to Facebook.

I'm not sure I'll be able to write any more blogs until Thursday because I will be spending the next few days at a cabin in Alabama on the Tennessee River. I use the term "cabin" loosely; I suspect it will be quite nice. My friend Anne whom I've known since the first grade has invited me and some other women to her place for a couple of days. I will take my trusty camera and take pics if I can.

And poor Rufus will have to do without his "mommy" for a while.
