Watching the Clemson and Duke game from Clemson right now. So far, Clemson is up by 6 and really taking it to Duke right now and Coach K is red-faced. Hope we can continue this because it will be a HUGE win for the team. Go Tigers!
A family member asked me why I would write about having to take the breathalizer test along with my speeding ticket on Saturday night. I take this blog as a true reflection of what is happening in my life and what I am thinking and feeling. Please know that I may offend you or upset you at any time. But, please know that I am writing for me as much as for you, whoever you are. It was a humbling experience and not something I take lightly, that traffic stop. Mr. State Trooper, please don't ya stop me, please don't ya stop me... Yes, I shouldn't have been speeding and yes, I shouldn't have had anything to drink before driving home. But, I was in control and not intoxicated as the test showed. But, it was a wake-up call as well. I don't want to ake my blessing lightly and ruin God's plan for me with self-centered stupidity. Ok, I have made that clear, I hope. Just trying to stay focused on the Righteous Path, 80 miles an hour with a warn out map.
The Tigers are up by 7 on Duke right now. I'm trying not to jinx them, promise.
It's been bitterly COLD here the last 2 days. I think it was down in the low teens last night with a very strong wind that blew our winter flag off the front porch. Of course, Shadow took the notion to freak out around 130am last night and demanded that he go outside. Of course, he tried to change his mind once the door opened and felt how cold it was outside. I didn't give him the opportunity to change his mind and he got das boot. I also made sure I kept him awake today during the day so that rascal will sleep tonight. Keller is smart, he lays low in his bed and just enjoys being inside. I think tonight is going to be more of the same; but, the forecast is for the mid 60's by Saturday. Just wait a few minutes and the weather will change. Soon enough, it's going to be too hot and humid. I will take the cool air while it's here.
