School...the first 5 weeks

Well we are almost through with the first 5 weeks of school and all seems to be going well.

The kids are still acting okay, the teachers seem to be in a better mood, and the administration is new and fresh.


I am excited about football season. Alabama has won the first two games over less talented teams by 8 and 3. This weekend will most likely be more of the same. I hope not, but I have a feeling.


I won my first week of fantasy football thanks to Adam Vinitari and Brian Westbrook, not thanks to Chris Cooley who scored negative points while having Heath Miller and his 87 yarrd TD reception on my bench.


I visited Billy and Beth two weeks ago for the Alabama-Hawaii game and had a great time with them. They are awesome friends to have. Jack makes me laugh. He kind of struts around like Mick Jagger.

Played Pub Trivia on Wednesday at Baker St. We always get between 2-4 questions correctly. It seems that we got 5 right that night and came in a tie for 2nd place. We did pull out the tie breaker by naming 8 of the last 10 best actor Oscar winnners. Not to shabby. We also answered these questions correctly....

Who are the two presidents who died on the same day?
What was the first song sung in space?
How many eyelids does a camel have?
Who is the first character to speak in Star Wars?
?Questions we got wrong....

What % of the worlds mined salt does the U.S. use to de-ice roads each year?
Who was the shortest president?
Who was the sixth Beatle?
A banana isnt a fruit, what is it?


And some other questions that we could not answer.

Well, I guess that is about it.

Leave a comment so I know you were here. My blog is lonely.
Took a quiz I read off MikeRay's blog....it is a question or two too long.

You scored as Maximus. After his family was murdered by the evil emperor Commodus, the great Roman general Maximus went into hiding to avoid Commodus's assassins. He became a gladiator, hoping to dominate the colosseum in order to one day get the chance of killing Commodus. Maximus is valiant, courageous, and dedicated. He wants nothing more than the chance to avenge his family, but his temper often gets the better of him.
