I certainly have neglected this thing. It’s only October 14th, and I’m making my first post of the month. I’m glad I’m not doing this for money.
It’s been a hectic month, but I’m finally getting a chance to breathe this week. I officiated five football games last week, and I’m about to wrap up one of three freelance projects. I haven’t even started on the other two, and I’ve been asked to submit a proposal for a fourth one.
I thought when I got out of the television news business, I’d slow down. I digress …
Things are still the same with David. He’s kicking up a storm and doing well. Less than two weeks before we head back to UAB and make arrangements for his birth. I’ve got to finish cleaning out his nursery this week. I’ve tried to do it, but I’ve been so busy I’ve not had time. With less than seven weeks until he comes, time is now critical.
I might be in the press box for the Alabama-Ole Miss game this weekend. It will be the only Bama game I attend this year. It’s weird not shooting the games for the station anymore, but at least I pretty much have my weekends free.
I have a lot on my mind, including a lot of stress. But … there’s no need to unload here. Just too much work and baby prep with very little time. As always, though, it will all work out.
Please continue praying for our baby boy … Many thanks to those who have and still do.

Yes, the blog still lives. It’s just been a long, hectic week. Lots of work and football games last week, a birthday visit to Mom’s over the weekend, two football games already this week and we’ve been treating a sick little girl tonight. She’s got a small virus that causing a little bit of fever and other sickly things, but she’s asleep and should pull out of it soon.
Speaking of our beautiful children, there’s no word yet on David. We go back to Birmingham in less than two weeks to make plans and get a check-up. Please keep praying for his little heart.
Amy’s birthday is this weekend, and family is coming into town. All the siblings will be around Friday, but I won’t get to see them since I’ll get off from work and then run the game clock in the next county. I’ll see the ‘rents-in-law Saturday, though.
One cool thing about working the Auburn-Enterprise varsity game last week is I got to see my ol’ band director and buddy, Rob Grice. I spent several years under his care, and he was one of my groomsmen in our wedding. He’s two years away from retirement, but he’ll be busier than ever. He’s doing quite well as a worldwide composer and writer.
Well, it’s bedtime. Lots of stuff to do tomorrow at work, and I’ve got to finish up a freelance project. I’ll be able to breathe a little easier when I do.
Yes, he denied becoming the Alabama coach, but he did so because reporters kept bugging him about it. He had to protect his job. It’s common for coaches to do that these days (Remember Fran to TAMU and Tuberville to Auburn?).
Will he be at Alabama long? Who knows, but at least we have him for now. He wasn’t the greatest in the pros, but he’s a great college coach.
