Labor Day

This blog has been down for about a week because my template fell victim to some kind of bug. I corresponded with Blogger.com about it, but they weren’t able to recover it. So I’ve lost all my links…I’m working on rebuilding all that stuff, so if you were linked from my site before (or if you’d like to be linked now), please shoot me an email or a comment with your URL so I can add you again (in case I forget).

In the meantime, we’ve had the horrible devastation of Hurricane Katrina, and on a positive note, the Crimson Tide opened the season with a 26-7 win over MTSU. To make the day even sweeter, Clemson topped Texas A&M, TCU upset Oklahoma, and Georgia Tech put the farmhands in their place with a 23-14 win over AllBarn.

On the academic front, UA closed at noon last Monday because of the hurricane, so I didn’t have class that afternoon. The University was closed on Tuesday as well, so I didn’t have to go down and work; instead, I used the opportunity to get ahead on my reading for class—and on Wednesday, I was very well prepared. (In fact, I can’t ever remember having read everything I was supposed to for class. I guess it’s good to be coming back to school after maturing a bit in the “working world.”)

So I’m spending Labor Day reading for this week’s classes, and piddling around the house (washing clothes, further organizing the basement, and blogging)…
