All I can think about today is that I could have taken the day off. I’ll be glad to have the day in the bank for later use, but right now I’m really wishing I wasn’t here. At least it was a good sports-type weekend. SU not only managed to beat formerly #9/#11 (now #19) Louisville, but they actually kicked the crap out of them (on national teevee, no less). So we’re still in play for a crappy bowl game. Then on Sunday the basketball team opened their season by playing on the Midway aircraft carrier and beat San Diego State. The Giants lost, but that doesn’t really make or break a weekend for me, and the Jets lost, but I’m pretty used to that by now, so what the hell. And Michael Vick got knocked out of the game with a concussion, so that’s a good thing (he’s not performing very well; I think it my be time to put him down). Unfortunately, the Eagles loss meant a Dallas win, but I suppose they both couldn’t lose.

It was also a somewhat productive weekend. I really only set a couple of goals for myself, and I accomplished both. I put the snow tires on my car (I had to beat the crap out of two of the wheels to get them off, so that was actually a bigger pain in the ass than it needed to be; hopefully the never-seeze I put on will help come spring). And I wanted to get the chains on the tractor and mount the plow on the bucket and got that taken care of. I’m hoping that all that will chase the snow away (it worked last year, anyhow).

So now it’s just a matter of getting this week over. Ten days ’til Thanksgiving! Wow, when did that happen. I hope I don’t have any plans.
