The "Tweeners"

Most of this will never forget this day seven years ago. The event changed history for our country, the world and all of us individually. After the shock of the attack of 9/11 I recall vividly how this country and we individually came together. Unfortunately that has changed and I hope it doesn't take another attack to bring us back together again. I recall the first Oregon game after 09/11 and how respectful everyone was of each other and the country.

The DUCKS have played the first two games in a dominate fashion and go on the road Saturday to play a mysterious Purdue team. Up to now we don't know how good the DUCKS are so hopefully this Saturday we will have a good idea. Game will be on ABC at 12:30 PST.

The last two tailgates have been great! Heidi, Ryan and the kids are doing a great job. The turnout has been good and we are keep John D. healthy with Vitamin water and Coors. Check out the slide show on the right side of the blog.

On a personal note we are not getting any action on the house and I have reconciled myself with the fact that it may not sell this listing. The housing and loan industries are in total shambles and it will take time to get back on track. We are bummed about this and want to "get the show on the road" but we can't change what we can't control.

Hurricane Ike is barreling towards the Central Texas coast. It will be a tropical storm by the time it hits our area but if the track predictions hold we will be the best position we can be in despite the circumstances. Kendra is getting prepared to hunker down with friends and Skot's family who live on the coast. They plan on evacuating inland.

So here we are "tween" football games, the house sale and move, storms, civility, and hopefully not another event like 9/11.

GO DUCKS!
