Just a note about yesterday in Ohio...When I drove to work is was 32 degrees, on my return trip home it was 72 degrees. Where else but Ohio can you have a 40 degree differential in temp in one day?

I did mow the lawn and mulched up the leaves as well. Also, saw a real estate agent put up a sign in Sean and Chelsey's yard. That puts the number of house in our neighborhood at a dozen. It will be sad to see them leave. The kids love playing with Tristan and it is nice have neighbors our age.

T worked last night. She will not get to work many weekdays when wrestling season starts in a couple of weeks. We will start practice in 2 weeks. I cant believe this is my 4th year coaching wrestling. I did not think I would go past the first year.

If it is Monday then it must be sunny. NE Ohio will be in the 60's today. Of course this is after a weekend of everything from lighting to snow, in the same afternoon. The Kent St/Ohio U game was suspended because of weather.

My neighbor's tree fell onto the fence and bent it up pretty good. I helped Sean and his dad clean up the mess. That makes 6 trees that have come down this year in my yard. I will have to mow today. I need to mulch up the leaves.

Yesterday was trick or treat. I had a cheerleader, pirate and a skunk this year. We had a good party at mom and dad's. All the cousin, except Noah, went trick or treating together.

Mogadore beat EC 6-0 in a mud pit. Perry beat GlenOak and Massillon beat McKinley. Mogadore will play Lucas in the first round of OHSAA playoffs. Massillon will travel to Perry and all the Massillon fans are whining about not enough seats for ALL their fans. Too bad for them, maybe if they won more games they could host a playoff game.

Tony Romo for President. If he keeps this up, the Boys have a shot a the playoffs.

Rainy weather will hamper my sports weekend. Rain is scheduled for tonight's Mogadore/East Canton game and tomorrow's Kent St/Ohio U game. Sunday the sun is scheduled to shine for trick or treat. My kids should be good at trick or treat after the haul they got at Atwood last month.

The Bayou Steelers are in the playoff hunt. We are 3-4, but have won our last 2 games. Leon Washington has been a great help to the team.

See you down by the bayou....

Happy Hump Day.

Welcome to another week in your life.

Busy weekend. I got up early Saturday morning and drove to Ann Arbor. I was at Jared by 11:30. We headed over to this parents house and tailgated and parked cars until the Michigan game started at 3:30. Then we headed into Detroit for Game 1 of the World Series. Appartly someone forgot to tell the Tigers, Game 1 was on Saturday. Reyes mowed down 17 Tigers at one point. It was fun to be the stadium for a World Series game.

I now have been to a Super Bowl, World Series, All-Star Game, College Bowl Games, NCAA Tournament games, and a D3 National Championship game. Not to bad.

TGIF

This week was nice and long. I had to head to the camper to help put away the camper and boat. The weather was not nearly as good as it could have been. I am just hoping for good weather for Game 1 between St. Louis and Detroit.

Mogadore plays Waterloo.......ho hum. It should be over early. It is senior night and all senior will start. Perry is at N. Canton. OSU is playing IU. The Cowboys are on MNF.

B is cheering in the Panther Bowl. It is one last game for the 8 year olds. I will miss the game, because I will be driving to Michigan at the time.

Til Monday...See you Down by the Bayou

Good Monday morning.

Last week was nothing to write home about, so I didn't.

Today, the sun is shining and it is another (near) perfect sports weekend. Mogadore, Perry, Ohio State and Dallas all won over the weekend. Also, the Mogadore golf team finished 6th at the state meet. It is their highest finish in 33 years. Congrats to Nate Tater for his runner-up finish!

The Detroit Tigers are in the World Series. Someone needs to send the Dolans a message that mid-market teams can make the world series. I will be heading to Detroit to see game 1 on Staurday. If the Indians can't win it, then lets keep the title in the AL Central.

The weekend got off to a slow start. Mogadore lost to Streetsboro (the wife's alma mater) 35-33, but the weather was great for a football game. Saturday was great. B had cheerleading. Her team is going to play for the Championship next Saturday morning. Go Flag Gray! We finally made it to Atwood around 5 saturday. We had my cousin's son with us. It was his first time camping. All he wanted to do was have a campfire and go for a boat ride. I think he had a good time. I am sure all his kindergartener friends in Texas will here how much fun he had in Ohio. he even learned a couple of cheer from B. I am sure my cousin will appreciate that.
Sunday afternoon we had an end of the year camper cookout. Good food and good fellowship was had by all.

Rumor has it......SNOW by Thursday :(

Nice and warm today. It was in the 70's today. A front will roll through tonight and drop the temp into the 50's tonight and in the low 60's tomorrow. The weather looks good for the weekend. It is the fall festival at Atwood. My cousin's son is coming to Ohio with my aunt and we are taking him to the camper on Saturday. All he wants to do is go on a boat ride and have a campfire. I think he will have a good time.

Tonight I am going to dinner with my in-laws. T's birthday was last week, but today is the first time they can come down for dinner. We are trying Cheeseburger in Paradise. It is a Jimmy Buffett type place. Should be a good time.

Perfect football weekend!!! Perry won on friday. Mogadore distroyed Woodridge and Massillon lost. Kent beat Akron. Ohio State rolled over Iowa. Cleveland and Dallas won on Sunday. It doesnt get better than that.

The kids went trick or treating at the camper on Saturday. It was bit rainy, but still fun.

It is Homecoming week at Mogadore. Today was "Team Day". Tomorrow is "Twins Day"
