Happy Monday!

After a few days hiatus I am back on line. Honestly, I didn't have a whole lot to say over the past few days. I had a cold, Kev and Big E (aka my Dad) were in Vegas for Cigar Aficionado's "Big Smoke" event, and Penn State was playing Temple. There was simply not much going on.

Now it's Monday, I still have my cold, Kev and Big E are on their way home from Vegas, Penn State beat Temple (but apparently looked like crap based on the reviews I've read and the fact that despite winning, we dropped out of the Top 25), and I even received a few "salt in the wounds" bonuses: (1) OSU lost to Illinois which basically rules out any chance of PSU going to a New Year's Day Bowl (Alamo Bowl, here we come) and (2) the New Orleans Saints lost, kicking me out of my NFL survivor pool and ending any grandiose hopes of winning $1400. Damn the Saints. But kudos to the Air Force Falcons for beating Notre Dame!

Most of you think I'm just a Notre Dame hater, but alas, I do have Air Force connections. My cousin Steve graduated the Academy, Class of '83, and his son Kyle is now a freshman (and will be playing baseball for them this spring if his shoulder heals). So yes, while I do hate ND with every football loving bone in my body, I root for the Falcons every week as well.

On another note: a Happy Veterans day to all of the AFA alumni and the rest of our service men and women across the world (not that they are reading this, but if you know one, be sure to thank them).
