Hi Blogaroonies........... Hope you are well... Today was the first day of the fall semester at East Tennessee State University where I teach.... Whooahhhh! I started my students in an Internet course I am teaching. Tomorrow I will have class in my day classes and last Friday we started the graduate students on their consulting projects. We have two teams and I am team teaching this course with my chairman, Phil Miller.

Right this very moment I am listening to Aaron Neville sing Ava Maria.......... He is one of my favorite singers and that is one of my favorite songs.....pretty good combination.....

My friend Dennis is starting an NFL pool....and today I recruited four of my colleagues to participate.... Ruth usually wins.......we will try to change that this year.

The dogs are resting and listening to Aaron Neville sing Ave Maria.....my guess is that they do not want to sing harmony.........

Today after I left work, I came home and ate left over home made pizza... then I went to church and killed weeds....... I am trying to reclaim the volley ball area and the horse shoe pits from the weeds............ I will win, I am very good at spraying weeds with RoundUP!!!! RoundUP does not leach into the soil, so I am I think it is okay to use it........... If God is a weed, I am screwed. But then, if God is an insect, I am also screwed..... But then again, I think my God is a loving God, so I might be okay either way.....

Now I am listening to the Dixie Chicks - I really love the Dixie Chicks...... Not erotically, but that other good way.....Their music is very timely as are their comments...............

Well, I just got all signed up for the football pool.......... I am ready to go!!!

Have a great day, and take good care of yourself...cheers, john
