Word Jeff! The BYU game, with your presence, was almost a family event! With the Guymons in attendance and the game on TBS, maybe even Matt watched. I thought the game was painful. Not because of the loss, but because of the utter lack of risk and creativity on BYU's end. Good defense though. My roommates are FSU grads, so it was good to watch the FSU/Miami game (and my distaste for Miami still lingers from the Ty Detmer years) and see a well played close game. FSU won.

So, I'm a little behind on my pledge to do a weekly entry. Labor Day can set a girl back. Also, not a whole lot happening can set a writer into block. But, what is blogging if not largely an attempt to capture the nuances of life?

I'm sitting on the apartment porch right now. I live in a gated apartment community. Seems like a whole lot in Atlanta is gated, but I also understand that we live in a pretty well-off area. We are really close to the Home Depot headquarters, but also sort of a suburb. So, I think a lot of young professionals are settling here. I wouldn't know yet though. Not a whole lot of investment going into a social life. I think I may have completely forgotten how to do that.

Weather is nice right now, but the humidity continues to astonish me. Fortunately, fall is coming and I think that is the real glory time in the south. Not like Vermont, with it's color, but a cool green feel. Visitors welcome. There are two pools and a weight room. And a place to spray down your car and vacuume it out.

I intend on actually trying to have adventures over the next couple of weeks - maybe one a week that I can blog about. That's about all this old woman can muster. And some sweet love for her far away family members.

Oh - our little social movmement we've got going here has been noticed by MTV and United Way. It's exciting and feels like a good responsiblity to explore the potential partnership as Break Away keeps trying to do what it does well. Here's the link: MTV Alternative Spring Break
