Game Day

T-minus about 3 hours and 20 minutes until the Home Team plays in the Big Game. Go Hawks! Others have been giving this much more coverage than me, so I'm going to refrain from making comment until the game is over (see Jeff's Blog for an in-depth analysis of pretty much everything leading up to the game).

Yesterday we were up early and cleaned the rest of the construction trash out of the garage, taking it to the dump before we get rid of our truck. The best part was tossing the glass shower door into the dumpster and watching it shatter into a thousand million tiny little pieces. What can I say - I'm easily amused.

Today we were up early and cleaning up after the windstorm that's been raging the last day and a half or so. There were branches and debris all over the yard and roof, so we cleaned up most of the big stuff until our yard waste containers were overflowing and called it quits. We're still going to have to tackle cleaning the gutters, but there's a least some sense of accomplishment right now.

I have a feeling that, during the Big Game, I'm going to be working on that aforementioned fiction. It's nice to be writing with the promise of a paycheck at the end of it all.
