back after a brief respite.....

I took a few days off from work and from blogdom. I had to fit some time in between now and the end of the year and it worked out well. Thursday I did some stuff around the house then picked the bride up from school and we dined at Henpeck Market. Good stuff. Friday we took the girls and their friends to Grand Ole Golf, played some mini golf and watched them ride go carts. Then we spent some time at Opry Mills before coming home. Nice time away from the office.

As for the weekend, it was "upset Saturday" in college football. Auburn beat Florida. Maybe Heisman voters will now stop touting Chris Leak. Put pressure on him, he throws interceptions. He's not the best quarterback in the nation. Georgia lost their homecoming game to.....Vanderbilt? I thought people scheduled Vandy for homecoming because they knew they could beat them. (Yeah, I know, UT lost to them at Neyland last year. But that was last year. So there.)

And the Titans won their first game! They didn't dominate, but a win's a win. I saw that Vince Young asked the ref for the game ball at the end. Hopefully that's the first of many for him and the Titans. Travis Henry, UT graduate, ran like he did while in college. Possibly a season-changing week for them. They won't make the playoffs, but it's a start.

5 days to UT-Bama.....
