Pay attention to the Little Football too, folks

Well, today started off with me waking up at 7:45 and realizing I had to meet with clients at 8:00. So I brushed my teeth, dressed, tried to comb my unruly hair and hopped in my car to go to the home of the borrowers. Afterward, I drove over to Hardees to get some breakfast, stopped by the bank for some cash, then headed home.

Afterward, I spoke with a rep from the lender and found that I needed signatures on three more documents, so I contacted the borrowers, and headed back to their home for further signatures. I got to go to the office and the post office and actually take a shower and shave.

Afterward, Cindy and I headed up to Dunwoody where we picked Kate up and drove to a Vietnamese/Louisiana seafood store on Buford Highway, the former "touch of country in the city", where we ate shrimp po-boys and drank Louisiana tea, then headed back to Dunwoody to shop for Christmas and birthdays. I picked up a pair of kelly green chuck taylors for my better coolness in dress.

Afterward, I headed back to Mom's house to find that Washington and Lee had won again, to find themselves tied with Hampden Sydney, who is undefeated and rated number 19 in the country, and guess what, we get to play them next Saturday on Wilson Field in Lexington, my old home field at W&L. I wish I could be in Lexington next Saturday, but I think Momma's birthday is a little more important. Perhaps they will win and I will be able to see them playing in the NCAA Division Three playoffs. That would be sweet.

So I know it is "little football" and the players are a little closer to being normally sized and I realize that we produce more lawyers, doctors and businessmen than NFL football players, but it will be a big game on Saturday, no matter what. And all of the players actually belong in college. Something you can't necessarily say about the guys you see on the field on your television every Saturday.

Well, that is enough. Ring Tum Phi Stickeri Bum, We're the boys from Lexington....

I wish I had a copy of The Punch Brothers playing the Washington and Lee Swing in Rockbridge County this Fall. I will just add that to my facebook page. Still one of the best fight songs in American College athletics. And the only one which is also a Dixieland Jazz song.
