SEVEN!

[Ron Pulliam]

I would love to give you a vibrant update of my day, but I have nothing.

I did watch the Clemson football game.  After their serious drubbing by Duke last Monday night, it was expected that playing the small Charleston Southern School would be a cakewalk. 

But...no...Charleston Southern picked off the QB passes twice in the first period to lead 14-7 at one point.  At that one point, Charleston Southern had not even completed a series of downs and had no yards and no pass attempts but was LEADING Clemson.

Clemson looked befuddled and hopelessly out of its element.

But, by the end of the half, Clemson led 17-14. 

At game's end -- after an inspired second half -- Clemson won 66-17.

But the team they managed to destroy wasn't even supposed to be compatible.  This game was to recover from what they had hoped would have been a grueling opener against Duke (who won 28-7).  Before the Duke game, Clemson had a pre-game rating of number 6 in the country.   Going against Charleston Southern, they were ranked number 25.

That's all I know.  And that is what the announcers told me to say if I were asked.

I am getting a bit sleepy now, even though it has been abou 12 hours since I got up from my four-hour nap this morning.

Fingers crossed that dreams are not wonky ones and that my sleep is restful

[Ron Pulliam]

I am happy I got a haircut yesterday afternoon so I don't have to make a note to call for an appointment next week.

I am happy I went to the recycling center and unloaded a bunch of carboard and styrofoam yesterday so I don't have to do it Monday.

And I am very happy that my right nostril has been open all day so that I can nose breathe a bit.

[Ron Pulliam]

I believe that is an end to my inanities for the evening.

I hope it is.

  That's all I know.  And that is what the announcers told me to say if I were asked.

You cain't say you never been asked.

[singdaw]

It seems to me that that's a line from a book musical, but I can't at the moment think of which one.

[singdaw]

110 in the Shade?

[singdaw]

Perhaps.

[singdaw]

~~~UNTROUBLED DREAM VIBES~~~ to you, DR Ron Pulliam.

We started learning the Thriller line dance tonight. Got a bit of work to go on it. But I think I got the zombie walk down.

[singdaw]

Barney says so.

[John G.]

And I am finally learning Cotton Eyed Joe. Sorta. Definitely not fast.

[singdaw]

  But I think I got the zombie walk down.

That's cool!

[John G.]

I believe everything Barney says.

[John G.]

Barney Miller.

Hi, Singdaw.

[John G.]

How’s the anniversary going?

[John G.]

Waiting for something called asada fries, which look, in the photo, too good to pass up.

[John G.]

Discovered today that there’s a sequel to Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe, a gay YA novel I loved.

[singdaw]

How’s the anniversary going?

Not too well. The DH had to work all morning at Temple  and had to go back this afternoon and will be there until past midnight. It is Selichot, the beginning of the High Holy Days.

[John G.]

The author used to be married to a co-worker’s cousin.

Not a holy day in your house. Sorry.

[singdaw]

An impressive shore-themed cake.

[singdaw]

Those are some mad decorating skills.

[singdaw]

Perhaps it can be DR Laura's next big project.

[John G.]

That cake is beautiful.

[John G.]

I want cake.

[John G.]

Anybody got cake?

[John G.]

I got corn in cup.
