The TV show Nashville is filming at my son’s university Monday and Tuesday. I told him they need extras. Watch for the cute skinny blond with blue eyes wearing Belmont gear.

Comparing this Administration to the previous one, you might say it’s a case of Shambolism over Shrubstance ....

Very dry here too - we are down 10 inches of rain since September. Fortunately we had a very good spring with extra rain or we would be in big trouble.

Thanks - I have always been told nothing but water - and after fasting I never wanted to push it by having anything and then being forced to do the whole thing over again.

It ia 72 gloomy and breezy here-fits my mood perfectly. I’ve been jamming to the heavy stuff since I got back from hiking at 8, starting with a bit of Cream, Jethro Tull, then “Black Dog”-I’ve got “Kashmir” cranked up now...

Hard Rock is good therapy for malaise-and as for the bid I’m working on right now-abandon all hope of change orders, customer...

Nice year for SU, but no BCS bid.

Will Pitt be able to beat USF tonight to get bowl eligible?

There’s lots of talk about putting Pitt and WVU in the Pinstripe Bowl.

It turns out this past month was the driest month (any month) we’ve had since 1985.

Probably put up the Christmas tree tonight. That’s the big plan.

I have to check the number tonight since I have a ticket to win Steeler tickets for next week.
