It's a beauti-fall day in the neighborhood.

Today, like the past few days is about as picture perfect as you can get. Here in Alabama we are enjoying days in the upper 60's and low 70's and night down into the 40's. Hello cheaper power bill! I read yesterday on that our friend Brittany, who lives in Ohio, had a freeze advisory this morning. I couldn't handle that kind of weather. I'm wearing a sweatshirt and shorts right now with the temp in the mid 70's.

Today, I should be on the nearest golf course but sometimes we have to work. I must say that I am blessed right now. Soccer season has begun and it is by far the most calm season to date for me at my new job. It's funny, most of you know that I worked at Georgia State over the past few years and that was really my first time to be exposed to soccer and even then I didn't truly embrace the sport. I found out enough about it to scream at the referees (my favorite past time) but I am by no means as adept at soccer as I would be at football or baseball. However, this is the funny part, with the exception of 2 coaches I know more about soccer than quite possibly every person in Scottsboro.

We finally found a house!!! Can you believe it! I will be living in the big METRO of Rainsville. We found a deal with a cute little house and a rather large spot of land for Diesel to roam. We're just waiting on the powers that be (The FNB) to get everything squared away. So, here's my call to you. Clear your schedule for...let's say...the second weekend in November plus or minus a weekend. I could use your back. :) If there's one thing I hate it's packing. I can handle the move but I don't have the patience to pack (good luck Liss). I'll give a little more info about the house. It's a small brick house on 1.5 acres on the Powell side of Rainsville. It's still a short drive to Scottsboro for me and it doesn't really affect Liss's trip.

Football is in full swing. WOOOOHOOOO and Roll Tide. Over the past 4 weeks of play I have really impressed with our offensive attack. While not always starting with the most gusto. We eventually impose our will (running the football) on our opponents. The thing that is most impressive to me is Greg McElroy. He is really good. "He ain't no JPW." has been my quote of the week. Not only is he smart; (unlike John Parker) he has a cannon. We'll see in a few weeks, when we play someone with a good defenseHokies. You make us look stronger every week.

Have a great weekend. Apparently I'm going to the fair.
