Vandals Beat Bowling Green in Humanitarian Bowl! →
Perhaps I’m a little too excited about this, but it’s been a long time between reasons to celebrate for Idaho football.
Three and Out
Watching the Vikings play on Monday Night Football - and I’ve been hearing a lot of Three and Out. They don’t look like their hearts are in it.
Is there anything else in life where the phrase three and out is used?
Cars, Houses, Jobs, Kids?

Good Dog
This afternoon we had to put down our dog, Roswell. She was diagnosed with a degenerative liver disease, and had been in declining health for a couple of months. This last week she really was not feeling well, and stopped eating or drinking unless we put the food directly in her kennel.

First up is a home showing of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (the live action version - including the terrible music).
Next up, a quick visit to a bookstore.
And later, a birthday party.
A day with the boys is really more party than penance.
