This has been one crazy week! Was it the moon? Was it the water? Was it the lack of alcohol? I don’t know, but the feathers were flying. And now that the weekend’s here, they’ve settled.

On the up side - earlier this week, the Harvest Moon graced us with its appearance, and what a beautiful one it was.

I guess that means we’re officially in Fall now. The leaves are turning, dropping, and piling up on the ground.

Thinking there may be a mini-adventure in store for the weekend - find some nice photo ops. Nothing like last weekend’s adventure up at Mohegan. Why haven’t I made any mentions about last weekend? That’s a tightly kept secret for only the fortunate who were there. Yessiree.

So the mini-adventure, is it too early to go pumpkin picking? I mean, Halloween is just around the corner. Kiddies will be out rolling yards, begging strangers for candy, and keeping dentists employed for another year. At least I know my son’s will.

And speaking of the son, he received a letter earlier this week with an invitation to spend three weeks next Summer in Australia through a student ambassador program. With a little trepidation, we signed up for a meeting to discuss this further. Not only can he repel from the side of a volcano, but he can go snorkeling, and traveling through the countryside. Never mind the fact that he’s afraid of heights and not an excellent swimmer. It’s still an amazing opportunity.

You know, it dawned on me the other day Christmas is less than three months away. I’m not even close to being in that mindset yet - and won’t be until at least Thanksgiving. And speaking of Thanksgiving - Football! (Like that segue?)

Well, the Vols have the weekend off and - hopefully - are getting themselves ready to take on Georgia next weekend. Looking forward to a good game. They’ll be playing at Neyland - hopefully the home field advantage fuels a victory.

More corn from da jar boys -more corn!!

We’re in Week 4 of the NFL already. Oh my gosh - already 1/4 of the way through the season - can that be right? Didn’t it just start?

My Colts are doing great: 3-0. Darned proud of you boys! And hoping to keep it going as Peyton, Marvin and the rest of the boys are hosting the Broncos on Sunday.

Well, wherever you are and whatever you’re doing, have a great weekend everyone. I plan to do the same. To amuse you, I leave you this tasty tidbit from a few years back. The men won’t like it much, but the ladies will.

Cheers!
