It's been a while since I updated my journal, so I thought I would catch up a little.

- Bama needs to fire Dave Rader. He's the offensive coordinator. No disrespect, Dave, but… you stink. Having the “Big 3″ out for the season doesn't help, either.

- Congrats to Auburn for the great season they're having. That's my only positive response for living in this town as far as the football team goes. Also, thanks to the rednecks who so gently yelled “WAR D*** EAGLE, MOTHER F*****S!” while I was live on the air at Toomer's Corner. Classy…

- I'm not going to say much since I don't want to jinx anything, but we are house hunting. Actually, we found a house, but we are in the middle of negotiations. Pain in the rear? You'd better believe it.

- I've been busy playing Halo 2. I've been even busier playing EverQuest 2. I've managed to get back in touch with Dave and Brandie from Seattle. They were my EQ 1 buddies. I hope we can play on EQ 2. Not sure if they're getting it yet.

- Prayers go out to a co-worker who's been diagnosed with something. Not saying who and not saying what, but we are praying for you. Get well soon.

- Otherwise, work is going well. I really do like my co-workers. My assistant news director told me today I need to come over there and spread some of my happiness around. Thank you! I can smile about work. It's the house negotiations I have trouble with.

- One of my best friends, Chris, quit his job in B'ham and moved back home to Geneva without telling me. That means I'm not giving you the wishbone at Thanksgiving, my friend. I hope to see you and Jimmy this upcoming weekend.

- Speaking of Jimmy, DW (and not Darrell Waltrip) called. He wants his moonshine back.

- I guess that's it for now. I'm just content. I just need more RAM and/or a faster processor for EQ2. Yup. It's a tad sluggish sometimes.

The life of a gnome…
