I'm still buried with my current project and at the point it looks like there's no end in sight! If I could type faster, it would help a lot but distractions abound and, as always, life intrudes and creates delays.
So what is this gargantuan project? I'm organizing my collection of books at my The Library Thing site. One of the problems I've encountered is that I was haphazard (read: lazy) when I began the site and didn't enter my books properly so I'm, for all practical purposes, starting from scratch. My dining room/office has stacks of books sorted by author and content waiting to be organized and, as near as I can tell, 514 books have been cataloged and there are at least that many more awaiting their place -- not to mention putting them back on the shelves properly. I now have a stack of a dozen (and growing) books that I haven't read. Sigh. Are we talking addiction here? At any rate it's slowing me down a bit to say the least.
Michelle brought little Ana over Friday night and we discovered that she loves wind chimes. We let her sit on one of my porch chairs and I'd make them ring for her (yes, I'm tall enough to reach them) and kept Ana giggling and smiling while we talked about Michelle's trip to Florida this week (I wish I had a cousin like hers). I'm taking her to the airport at the ungodly hour of 3 a.m. With what she's been through in the past few months, I think a vacation will be good for her. I'm also have pick up duty for Gracie at school on Tuesday -- always fun! And I promised that I'd help Uncle Jeff keep an eye on Bryce while she's away.
On Saturday, I went over to a friend's to watch the Buckeyes with other kindred spirits. We beat the University of Akron 42-0 so it was sort of a yawn. The first two games are always Ohio schools and give these smaller schools some TV time. Next week we play the University of Toledo. Afterward, I headed to the pharmacy to pick up my scrips and the grocery to restock the larder.
Today, I'm back to the books and trying to get some routine housework done as well as getting ready for another busy week. (And more books!) Sigh. However, I am trying mightily to keep up with y'all!
Happy Blogging!!!!

It Happens . . . and So It Goes . . .
All sort of really interesting things have landed in my e-mail over the weekend but at the forefront seems to be Ohio State Football Coach Jim Tressel's resignation amid allegations that he violated various NCAA rules. I can't say that he did or didn't. What I can say is that he was a class act for the ten years that he coached the Buckeyes and I wish him well. I also wish Luke well in the coming season and I shall remain forever a loyal Buckeye fan and a pox on the fair weather ones.
I have had experience with the NCAA and its rules and know how that they rival the Justinian Code in complexity. My journey with them began in the spring of 1993 when my son started getting letters from various colleges (usually swimming coaches) asking him to come visit them. That summer we visited a few schools that he thought interesting. When he went back to school in the fall, I called the A.D. and asked him for a copy of the NCAA recruiting rules. He was astounded because no one had ever asked for them in all the years he held the position. I was astounded that no one had ever asked for them. I asked for them because over the years I'd read in the sports section about kids' losing out on scholarships because of recruiting violations and we didn't want the Dynamic Duo to miss out on a scholarship for some silly reason or another. He studied them carefully and kept us informed as interested coaches kept calling. The whole thing is crazy and I can see how kids -- a kid like Terrelle Pryor especially -- can get swept up in all the attention and make huge mistakes. My son wasn't in the big leagues but there were days when he came home and said, "If any coaches call tonight, tell them that I'm not here." Heck! I even got calls from coaches who just wanted to talk about what a great kid my kid was. I noticed one week that no had coaches called and mentioned it and Eric said that under NCAA rules, they weren't allowed to call that week. See what I mean?
I'm not making excuses for anyone. If errors were made, the guilty parties have to face the consequences. One of the rules I live by is this: If you're gonna play the game, you had better know the rules -- ignorance has never been a viable defense. Another is: The only really stupid question is the one you don't ask. That's the one that usually gets you in trouble.
Yeah, it's a mess in Columbus and yeah, Jim Tressel will be missed but we are the Buckeyes; we have been through a lot before this and we will live to fight another day (and win!). Here's the song that popped into my mind when someone asked me (me?) what we'd do without Tressel:
Gooooooooo Buckeyes!!!!!

Wednesday Random Thoughts
I've been reading too much and, as always, need to hold forth on all and sundry .
* I'm smiling!!!! My Buckeyes won the Sugar Bowl 31-28 against an excellent University of Arkansas team. It's the first time they won a bowl game against an SEC team under Coach Jim Tressel. Congrats to both the Buckeyes and the Razorbacks and their coaches for a great game that never had a dull moment. (Although I did/do question the officiating but I always feel that way when we play an SEC team in Bowl games.)
* I found this list, 15 Whoppers Beck Did Not Get Fired For In 2010 over at Media Matters who gave him their "Misinformer of the Year Award". Sarah Palin won it last year. What does that say about Fox News?
* Former Secretary of Labor Robert Reich has written a brutally honest piece on his blog called The Big Lie. Read it and weep. You're not paranoid if they really are out to get you.
* Christine "I am not a witch." O'Donnell is under investigation for misusing campaign funds -- it's just another liberal plot, according to her. I hope they send her to jail. Any idiot knows that one doesn't use campaign funds for rent and groceries. Here she is on the Big Ed Show:
* Good news!!!! Jon Stewart and Steven Colbert are back!!!! I missed them!
* I had the film "State of Play" which stars Russell Crowe and Ben Affleck from Netflix over the weekend. I thought it excellent. It's fiction but its plot was so plausible, it was frightening. Did any of y'all see it? What did y'all think?
I'm keeping this short because I'm tired and lost my notes!
Hope y'all are having a great day!!!!

Thursday Random Thoughts
It's a busy, frustrating week in Kay's World which means that the more things change, the more they stay the same -- only the suspects, crimes, and misdemeanors vary. I'm trying hard to keep up with y'all as well as get I ready -- sorta -- for the holidays which I suspect are not going to be much fun. Bah!!! Humbug!!!
* As per Ronni Bennett's call to arms for Social Security. I tried to call my new "teabagger" Congressman and tell him to vote for HR 1685 per her instructions. When the 800 number didn't work, I called the House switchboard and used some of my daytime minutes and free long distance to tell him to leave Social Security alone and pass the damned bill. I told my senators the same. My sainted grandpa used to say, "If it ain't broke. don't fix it." Social Security is solvent so of course the greedy GOP wants to get their sleazy claws on it and fill their pockets. Raise hell!
* God/Buddha/Yahweh/Allah or whatever y'all call the Big Guy must have loved idiots -- he made so many of them. And we're reminded of this daily when we read the news.
* Note to Willy: Word on the street is predicting that your Hogs are gonna play my Buckeyes in the Sugar Bowl. I wish both teams well and think it will be an excellent game but you know who's gonna win and their colors are Scarlet and Gray! :)
* Just when I thought the birthers had pretty much shut up, this idiot decides to fight with Anderson Cooper. There are fools and there are damned fools and this guy is the latter. One of my ex-husband's favorite lines when discussing politics is "If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle 'em with bullsh*t" and I think that applies to the birthers.
* What galls me most is that all of the crap going on is because -- my stars and garters!! -- we elected a black man! Does anyone remember that his mother (who raised him) was white? And that his grandparents, who took over when his mom died, were white. AND he grew up in Hawaii -- the most multi-cultural, multi-racial state in the Union. From what I can see and have read, Hawaiians cannot afford to be racist because families that have a so-called "pure line" are rare. Ignorance is bliss, I guess, but dammit, I think it's time that these racist idiots "man up", grow up, and shut up. I'm not naive enough to believe that there's no racial/ethnic problems in Hawaii but I suspect it's not a big deal because I haven't noticed any shouting in the news in the news or blogosphere.
* The funniest (and sadly far too true) thing I've read on Sarah Palin is this at Moscow News (Pravda). I love it when he refers to her "the former Governess of Alaska." I don't think it was a mistake in translation, do you?
* The best thing (and most intelligent) I've read on Sarah Palin is by CNN Senior Contributor Ed Rolins:
Y'all can read the rest of it here.
Okay, it's time to go get my blood pressure out of the stratosphere. Here's a song from from "back in the day", as my kids used to say, that rattled through my alleged brain that I think works in the current political climate and has a great message for us all but I suspect that certain people will blow it off as "dirty hippie music" even though they used to be one but that's another blog . . .

If you want to be a gadfly, just keep doing what you're doing."

The Rivalry
I know some y'all think the Ohio State-Michigan rivalry is pretty nutty and it probably is. However, neither Ohio nor Michigan is known for its glamour or sophistication like California or New York. Both states are "flyover country" and not worthy of notice most of the time. We are down home, flag-waving "just folks". Once a year we go nuts. It's a 100-year-old rivalry and we have fun with it mostly.
Anyone who takes it too seriously is truly insane.
Someone had a good time with photoshop and it refers to the fact that we've won the last five games and are going for six. I can't hate Michigan too much -- I grew up less than an hour south of Ann Arbor in Toledo so there are a bunch of Michigan fans there. My stepmom is a Michigan fan and it's not her fault she was born there. LOL
Here's a "hype" video. There were ones that I liked better but sometimes there was profanity and I prefer not to sully my blog with certain cuss words if y'all get my drift.
For all the jokes and the craziness we do respect each other. A few years ago Michigan's long time coach Bo Schembechler passed away a few days before the game and you can see the respect we Buckeyes had for this great man here.
And I'll close with the band's signature script 'Ohio'. I always get a kick out out of it!
Hope y'all are having a great day!!!!!!!!!!!!
Happy Blogging and Goooooooooooooooooo Buckeyes!!!!!!!!

One of the best things about Ohio State Football has little to do with football but is an integral part of Buckeye football. It's what we call The Best Damned Band In The Land and plays a huge part in the spirit of Ohio State Football. They not only perform at skull sessions (pep rallies) before each game, they march across campus to the gym and the 'Shoe and the walkways are lined with fans cheering as they pass. Here they are earlier this season:
And I love the drum section's warm-up on the ramp -- I think it's amazing!
One of my favorite traditions is the playing of Ohio's official rock song!!!!
Joared -- my friend, fellow blogger and faithful Buckeye fan loves it, too.
Hope y'all are having a great day!!!!!!!!!!

Okay I Can Write Now . . .
I have good news and I have not so good news on a lot of different levels and now I finally get to write about it. Why couldn't I write? I'll tell you about it as we progress.
* Good news: I think the antibiotics are working because I feel better and actually have some energy and got some work done today.
Not so good: I think it's screwing up my sleep patterns worse than ever. Oh well.
* Good news: My closets are less crowded. I'm trying to be ruthless 'cause it's too easy to say 'Maybe' when one hasn't worn it in three years. And yes, my black dress collection is mostly intact.
Not so good: So far I have four 15-gallon trash bags filled for The Salvation Army and I haven't even started on accessories, the "catch all" cupboard, my desk or my books. The last two look like a job for Batman.
* Good news: I made a good-sized dent in organizing my computer files.
Not so good: I found a lot of files that need to reorganized.
* Good news: An acquaintance asked if I had any Christmas decorations I wanted to sell/get rid of and I said, "Heck yeah!"
Not so good: I have to go down in the dungeon (basement) and go through them.
* Good news: My Buckeyes beat the University of Iowa (of which my daughter-in-law is an alumna) Hawkeyes today. I was good -- I didn't gloat.
Not so good news: It was a nail-biter and we won in the last few minutes. These guys have no respect for my blood pressure. Think I oughta call Coach Tressel?
* Good news: Next Saturday is the final game of the regular season for the Buckeyes.
Not so good news: It's Michigan Week and my blog will be loaded with jokes, photos, and videos about the rivalry that dates back to 1897. It's all in good fun so please bear with me. (and Joared, too.) It's an Ohio thing.
Hope y'all are having a great day!!!!!!!!!

Gearing Up for New Year's Day
I think it's fitting that I'm beginning my last day of 2009 with a stress test. That said I'm glad 2009 is over. I'm skeptical of 2010 but figure that my beloved Ohio State Buckeyes are in the Rose Bowl so it's not a bad start! Both Brice and David were sporting new bright red Ohio State hoodies when they shoveled my walk this this week -- another good sign! Think Santa's a Buckeye fan?
Here's a pump up video for the Buckeyes:
And here's a promo for the Rose Bowl:
I think it's gonna be a hell of a game!!!!!
Sorry this is long on video and short on content but with a stress test at 9:00 AM I simply can't stay up any longer!!!!!
Happy Blogging and Goooooooooooooo Buckeyes!!!!!!

Random Post-Christmas Thoughts
Hope y'all celebrated the holiday long and well!!!! It was a nice enough holiday here. I went to Midnight mass and did my stint at the parish the next day which is always fulfilling. Things are so bad here that we, as usual, ran out of food and that I bothers me but I do realize is that all we can do is our best and we do. With a 12% unemployment rate (which I think y'all know is a false figure because it doesn't count those unemployment benefits have run out), many are in need. A couple of the regulars who spend Christmas like me stopped at my place afterwards for Kay's Infamous Killer eggnog and snacks. It was fun.
* Brice, my young neighbor, brought me some baklava made by his Greek grandmother. Serious yum! It's probably my favorite dessert and I'm trying hard not to commit the deadly sin of gluttony and make it last a while!
* Diane stopped earlier this week with her special potatoes and some ham for my Christmas dinner. Someone gave her a ham for Christmas and she really isn't supposed to have it so she baked it and divided it between herself, her mom and moi.
I truly appreciate her thinking of me.
* I spoke with my son and his family -- Jen, my daughter-in-law, sounded like a box full of birds; the boys were wound up with excitement over their gifts -- Drake reminds me of my son at that age -- very chatty and Connor is like his Aunt Kate who hates to talk on the phone but he did fine; and Eric seemed really relaxed and happy. I was delighted.
* My buddy/decorator, Richard, stopped and I was so glad -- I hadn't heard from him in an eon!!! He seems to finally be getting over his mom's death. I, of course, gave him hell for making me worry. We agreed that one of our 'treasure hunt' and dinner days is far overdue. He finally got a cell phone and it's now easier for me to track him down. (huge grin)
* Marcia called and we had a great conversation and made plans to get together soon.
* I spoke with my stepmom, too, and she had news of my dad's family as well news of my favorites among her many nieces and nephews. As always, we had a good talk.
* I'm leaving my Christmas stuff up until New Year's Day. I like it.
* No snow for Christmas. In fact, I don't think we've had 2 inches of snow yet. Seriously weird! I haven't had to pay anyone to shovel. My trusty bag of salt has done the trick!
* Here's a favorite song from one of my favorite musicals by the lady who sang it first and sang it best for all you Buckeye fans out there to help you get in the spirit for the bowl game next week!
Happy Blogging!!!!!

Fiesta Bowl Tears and an Idea
The Ohio State University Buckeyes met the University of Texas Longhorns in the Fiesta Bowl last night in Scottsdale, Arizona. Texas won 24-21. I am sad.
Please temper what I'm going to say because I am disappointed and upset. If y'all watched on Fox like I did, you had to think to listen to the pre-game that Texas had already won -- the abuse handed to Eddie George, a Buckeye alumni and Heisman Trophy winner, was tacky at best as his cohorts all but handed the trophy to Texas. That said, from where I sat, as the game progressed, it appeard that the officials were on Texas' side, too. I have never seen Coach Jim Tressel -- always a gentleman -- angry but I saw it tonight. I don't blame him -- he brought a damned good team who received nothing but putdowns. I frankly don't ever want to see Ohio State in another BCS bowl game again. It doesn't matter who we play, the other team is always better (per the media and the refs) and gets more support and attention from the powers that be. I'll be interested to see what Coach Tressel has to say tomorrow. I was proud of our guys -- they played a hell of a game. Too bad the officials and the talking heads weren't impartial. And oh yeah, I found it interesting that the play of the game was Ohio State's second touchdown.
'Nuff said.
Ell of The Pomegranate Tiger made a comment on the Groaner of the Week that set me a-thinking. We just finished a full year of The Friday Groaner. What I would like to assemble a panel of judges to choose the top Friday Groaners of 2008. I will serve on the panel since I've never met a groaner I didn't like. :-) In the interest of fairness, contributors may not serve on the panel. Winners will receive a badge of my design to post on their blog, home page, or whatever. If you like the idea, please let me know. If you are interested in judging this, please let me know.

Please temper what I'm going to say because I am disappointed and upset. If y'all watched on Fox like I did, you had to think to listen to the pre-game that Texas had already won -- the abuse handed to Eddie George, a Buckeye alumni and Heisman Trophy winner, was tacky at best as his cohorts all but handed the trophy to Texas. That said, from where I sat, as the game progressed, it appeard that the officials were on Texas' side, too. I have never seen Coach Jim Tressel -- always a gentleman -- angry but I saw it tonight. I don't blame him -- he brought a damned good team who received nothing but putdowns. I frankly don't ever want to see Ohio State in another BCS bowl game again. It doesn't matter who we play, the other team is always better (per the media and the refs) and gets more support and attention from the powers that be. I'll be interested to see what Coach Tressel has to say tomorrow. I was proud of our guys -- they played a hell of a game. Too bad the officials and the talking heads weren't impartial. And oh yeah, I found it interesting that the play of the game was Ohio State's second touchdown.
'Nuff said.

Buckeye Update
The poster above adorns the office building of The Columbus Dispatch. I love it!!!! The sheer joy it expresses is simply terrific and shows Buckeye Fever is alive and rampant for post-season play!!!! Bet y'all thought I was all done with football. No way! My Buckeyes had a lot to do: take exams, go collect awards (Coach Tressel and the guys picked up a few), and wait to see where we would be going for a bowl game. I think our guys were hoping for the Rose Bowl because they wanted retribution for their not so nice loss earlier in the season against the Trojans.
Penn State got the nod for that and I will be cheering for them. I'm a Big Ten kind of gal. (Heck! I even support Michigan in the Rose Bowl!) And I really respect Joe Paterno -- he's in his 80s and I think he was coaching winning seasons in Happy Valley when I was in college forty years ago! 'Sides my cousin (and childhood runnin' buddy) went to school there so I'll be watching and cheering for the Nittany Lions on New Year's Day.
On January 5, 2009, Our beloved Buckeyes of The Ohio State University at #10 will meet the #3 University of Texas Longhorns in the Fiesta Bowl in Scottsdale, Arizona. I think it's a safe bet that my good friends Cowtown Pattie and Claudia will be hollering "Hook 'em 'Horns!!!" while I holler "Gooooooooo Bucs!!!!" It should be a good game. Numbers and rankings go out the window in a bowl game. They take football as seriously in Texas as we do in Ohio so anything can happen and probably will. Texas will be looking for blood -- the last they met the Buckeyes, they were handily defeated. Sorry gals, but I hope they do it again just as I know y'all want to see the Longhorns with a victory.
Here's a video of both teams' seasons. It's gonna be a good one, folks!!!!!!
Goooooooooooooooooo Bucs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Happy Blogging!!!!!!!!

Today's the day!!!!!!!!! Gooooooooo Bucks!!!!!!!
The Buckeye candy's in the fridge. The coney sauce is in the crock pot. The beer is on ice. The buffet is organized awaiting the rest of the food and beverages. Uh-huh. Dunno why but the party's at my place and I don't even have a big screen TV!!! (I think my perverse friends like me to have to clean house) Soooooo . . . I guess I'm ready.
Today at noon The Ohio State University Buckeyes will meet the University of Michigan Wolverines. The Buckeyes are the favorite by 19-24 points according to the bookies and the pundits but anyone who has followed this rivalry for as may years as I have knows that all that goes out the window when these two teams meet!!!! I don't know about y'all but I'd rather cheer for a bunch of nuts than a pack of predators! Just my rather biased take.
Then again, I am a born and bred Buckeye whose family was in Ohio before it was a state. (The joke is that we were in Ohio when there was just us and the Indians! That's stretching it because the Moravians were here before we were.)
At any rate, here's the Ohio State Band as they accompany Coach Bill Tressel and the team as they sing "Carmen Ohio" earlier this season after their win against Minnesota. I've included the lyrics for the uninitiated. Let's hope the outcome is the same today! Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Carmen Ohio"
(Alma Mater)
Oh come let's sing Ohio's praise
And songs to Alma Mater raise
While our hearts rebounding thrill
With joy which death alone can still
Summer's heat or winter's cold
The seasons pass the years will roll
Time and change will surely (truly) show
How firm thy friendship ... O-HI-O!
Gooooooooooooooo Buckeyes!!!!!!!!!!!

Here's another song that's an Ohio State tradition. It gives me a giggle every time I hear it or sing it!!!
I Wanna Go Back to Ohio State
I wanna go back to Ohio State
To old Columbus town,
To the stadium to hear the band,
By far the finest in the land,
I wanna go back to Ohio State
To old Columbus town,
I wanna go back,
I gotta go back,
To Ohio
Ohio, Ohio
The hills send back the cry [O - H!]
We're here to do or die [I - O!]
Ohio, Ohio
We'll win the game or know the reason why!
And when we win the game, we'll buy a keg of booze!
And we'll drink to old Ohio,
'Til we wobble in our shoes!
Ohio, Ohio
We'll win the game or know the reason why!
Here's TBDBITL singing it at a pep rally!!! Remember they're musicians -- not vocalists!!!! LOL

Buckeye Week!!!!!
Buckeye Week continues with lots more fun!!! Today we have some different things and more from TBDBITL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This from my Some People Really Take Fandom to New Levels Department (Five Bucks says the guy who did this is single.):
And if you couldn't get tickets (a herculean task at best) or if you hate the cold and will be watching at home and are having one the many parties being held across the state, tomorrow will be the perfect day to start getting your buckeyes ready. What are buckeyes, you ask? Wellllll, buckeyes are the fruit of the buckeye tree which is the State Tree of Ohio. Buckeyes from the tree are inedible for humans. However, someone wiser than I long ago came up with a wonderful imitation!!!! And being the magnanimous sort, I am providing y'all with a really easy recipe!!!!
Buckeye Recipe (makes 100)
1 1/2 lbs. powdered sugar
1/2 lb. margarine
1 lb. creamy peanut butter
1 large package chocolate chips
1/3 slab paraffin
Mix sugar, margarine and peanut butter together. Chill in refrigerator overnight. Roll above mixture into small balls about 3/4 to 1 inch in diameter and place on cookie sheets. Chill in refrigerator overnight.
In a double boiler, melt chocolate chips. Add paraffin and mix. Use a toothpick to spear each ball and lower into chocolate leaving a small area at the top . . . the eye of the buckeye. Place on cookie sheet to cool and get firm. Use finger to 'smooth over' toothpick hole. Keep refrigerated. YUM!!!!!!!! ENJOY!!!
Here's TBDBITL as they line up on the ramp entrance for the pregame show. Note: When they renovated the 'Shoe, they made sure to include a ramp for the band so as not to change their entrance routine.) Watch as they get ready to take the field -- the players aren't the only ones who are 'up' for the game!
Here you can see TBDITL as they perform their signature entrance to the 'Shoe. The song they play is The Buckeye Battle Cry aka fight song!
Gooooooooooooooo Buckeyes!!!!!!!!

Good News!!!! So Let There Be Music!!!!
I'm continuing with the plan for now and doing my Ohio State thing which was the original plan for this week -- mostly because I am soooooooooo sick of politics. (Another whiner or lecture on issues and I'll give up.) I did have some good news today: Ohio State is a 19-point favorite over Michigan!!!!!!!!! Then again, those of us who are long-time fans know all too well that stats don't matter when these two teams -- our Buckeyes and the Wolverines -- meet, all stats go flying out the window!!!!! Soooooooooooooo here's a cartoon and a video of TBDBITL (The Best Damn Band in the Land) aka The Pride of the Buckeyes!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jim Davis, the creator of Garfield is not an Ohio State alumni and swears this strip wasn't meant as a slam at Michigan's Wolverines and I believe him. However, the loyal Buckeye fans love it whatever his intent.
Here's TBDBTITL playing my friend and fellow Buckeye fan Joared of Along the Way and my favorite song in their repertoire: The Official Rock Song of the State of Ohio!
Goooooooooooooooooooo Buckeyes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's the Groaner of the Week -- Sorta!!!!!!!!!!!
This is a big week at the Thinking Cap!!! The Kay is sooo tired of politics and snarkiness and she's taking the week off from both. It's BEAT MICHIGAN Week!!!! Yeah, our beloved Ohio State Buckeyes will meet the University of Michigan Wolverines on Saturday afternoon at the Horseshoe (aka The 'Shoe) in Columbus to continue their gridiron rivalry which began in 1897. ESPN has rated it the greatest college football rivalry of all time. I'm ready.
And having editorial discretion instead of a groaner, here are some Ohio State-Michigan jokes. (I think in Michigan they tell them as Michigan-Ohio State jokes.) They are bad enough to cause a groooaaannn or two.
* Q: How do you get a Michigan Graduate off your front porch?
A: Pay him for the pizza.
* Q: Why is ice no longer available at Michigan football games?
A: Because the senior who knew the recipe finally graduated.
* Q: What does the average Michigan grad get on his/her SAT/ACT's?
A: drool
* Q: What's the only sign of intelligence in Ann Arbor?
A: Columbus 186 miles
* Q: What do you get when you have a basement full of Michigan fans?
A: A whine cellar
This picture is quite popular around OSU at this time of year. Whoever created it had a strange albeit funny sense of humor. I'm sure there's an equivalent in Ann Arbor.

Saturday Good Stuff
I'm still in a quandary as to what to do medically. I am still hurting but since I've all been told that I'm crazy, I have to decide what to do next. I gave Marcia a set of my keys and a sealed envelope in case anything happens to me. I'm going to worry about it tomorrow.
On a brighter note, I have pizza, wings, excellent breadsticks and sauce, and assorted beverages assembled and in a half hour the Ohio State Buckeyes will take to the gridiron against the USC Trojans!!!! Several friends are here and we're ready to watch them win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here's an excellent video of the TBDBITL as they enter St. John Arena before a Skull Session (aka pep rally). They really give meaning to the term 'up for the game' so enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gooooooooooooooooooooooooo Buckeyes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy and a Little Bit Sad
Heartfelt thanks to all y'all who came by to help celebrate my blogoversary!!!!!!! Your kindness and encouragement are what keep me writing!!!! I appreciate you greatly and you do my heart good. Now if y'all could get me busy on finishing the Great American Novel . . . LOL! I had a busy day -- an appointment and truly boring, long meeting so I really didn't celebrate much even though I didn't work today. What I really wanted to do was spend it wandering around visiting y'all. I guess I'll be saving that excursion that for Friday 'cause it's back to the salt mine today.
On the downside, Joared of Along the Way and I have been commiserating over our Buckeyes' loss in the BCS via email. Yes, we're disappointed but since this was supposed to be a rebuilding year after losing so many seniors last year, I think making the national championship was an awesome accomplishment for these young players. I was really excited because the young man who made the last TD for the Buckeyes, Brian Hartline, is from here and a graduate of the high school my kids and I attended. I think they'll be a force to be reckoned with next year. I was also delighted to see Troy Smith and Ted Ginn Jr. (now playing in the pros) from last year's team on the sidelines to support their former team mates.
I congratulate the LSU Tigers for a great game. My annoyance was with the media, All week long and all through the game, all we read and heard was how our Buckeye's couldn't win. Why don't they shut up and let the kids play? I'm not even gonna whine about the refs but I could. Unlike the idiot who burned his Buckeye gear and videotaped it for YouTube (which I will not link here because that would dignify a heinous act), I am, ever and always, a Buckeye fan -- win, lose or draw and that, my friends, is a true fan. There's always next year.
Thanks again, my friends, Goooo Buckeyes and Happy Blogging!!!!!

Gooooooooooo Buckeyes!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, I've got Buckeye fever!!!!! I went looking for one of the hype videos to post but I was a bit put off that even the best ones were sort of tacky. I'm not a prude and I can sing "I don't Give a Damn for the Whole State of Michigan" as loudly and lustily as the best of the Buckeye fans. However, most of the videos were a lot more graphic so instead I'm giving y'all Script Ohio which is, for my money, the best scripted marching routine anywhere performed by The Best Damned Band in the Land!!!!! In case y'all didn't know, the 'i' is always dotted by the most outstanding senior tuba player. In special cases, a famous person gets this honor -- alumni Jack Nicklaus last year and Coach Woody Hayes a few years back after he retired. Hope y'all enjoy it!
Happy Blogging!!!!!!!!!!!!
