a vortex of drama
with all the drama of the past couple of days, i’m surprisingly doing okay. the game yesterday was awful. horrible. a nightmare. Clemson’s defensive and offensive lines got manhandled. still though, it was fun hanging out with friends, going down to Gameday, and watching football on 20 different widescreen tvs. also, i was able to get out of the GA Dome without getting into a fight, which unfortunately does not extend to all Clemson fans. some people should just not be drinking at a football game.
as far as Gustav, i just got a call that my parents are leaving. most everyone i know is spread across alabama. i’m going to stay in birmingham until i can get back, which looks like probably Wednesday. i’ll update things when i can. if i get another extended vacation from work, i’ll probably go traveling or something. it’s weird to say i am not freaking out, but having already dealt with a major storm, a glancing blow from another just doesn’t seem as bad. please keep the whole situation in your prayers though.

Should I just go ahead and start looking for you a job up here? Remember, Nashville’s 90 minutes away.
Seriously, I hope you and yours stay safe, and that Gustav fizzles out between now and then. I’m really praying that it weakens before coming ashore.

Sorry about the game! Not pretty,my friend, not pretty!
And stay safe! I’m with Geof about the weakening thing.

Stay safe, Scott! We enjoyed seeing you again, and if you need to find somewhere else to hang out if you get an extended vacation, we’ve got plenty of room in the basement!

I thought the lines were the key to the loss. Anything less than 100 yds rushing is inexcusable with our backfield.
I would say come this way, but we might have Hanna come to us this next week. (I know, I know, it’s probably going to be weak, but who knows with these things?)
I guess I’ll join the chorus: Stay safe!
