Football!

I love football season. It's not quite the same here in the south as it is back in Michigan. There is no slight chill to the air, No sweatshirts...but there is excitement. Most of my favorite teams lost this weekend. Only my Alma Mater pulled it out for a win. I haven't seen Central play this year and I won't...unless they make it to some obscure bowl game that is televised here in Jacksonville. Needless to say, I check the scoreboards regularly to see how the "Chips" are doing.

I grew up loving football. My dad was a high school band director which meant that every Friday night he was at the games. I usually went along and was babysat by the rowdies in the band who thought it was funny to teach me raunchy cheers. From there I moved on to being part of my own high school marching band and the traditions grew....and then college...I can't even begin to tell you how much fun game day was at CMU. Good times.....good times......

Funny how my love of music has brought me close to my love of football. ♥

I am a HUGE fan of the new Battlestar Galatica (BSG). Sad to hear that they are coming to an end next year. Does it mean they get to Earth? Are the Cylons defeated? Or do they find a peaceful way to co-exist with the Cylons? OR...are they going to leave it in cliff hangers for future movies? Thank goodness for DVD's so that I can always get my BSG fix!

Independence Day!

On July 4, 1776, the Second Continental Congress unanimously adopted the Declaration of Independence. When reading the text it's difficult not to see how history repeats itself. We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed, by their CREATOR, with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate, that Governments long established, should not be changed for light and transient Causes; and accordingly all Experience hath s...

Hi-Tech Bed

So our Select Comfort Bed arrived today. So far so good. Although I think we are losing air (it's not staying at 100 after I fill). Not sure though. Tonight will be the real test. I think my sleep number is 35. When trying it out both in the store and at home that is where I'm not feeling any pressure on my hips or shoulders. Jerry thinks his number is around there too. I'm really hoping this will help with Jerry's back, shoulder, neck pains. He is so much better but he occasionally gets flare ups. No fun Oh yea...and the controller is Wireless. We can be gadget whores in our sleep too!
