Another sleepy Sunday...

First a comment on east coast weather - wow, it's bad out there today, isn't it? At least from watching the rainy football games. Looks like it would be miserable to be in the stands today! We had a lot of rain and cloud yesterday, and it was downright cool. I sat around in a sweater all day. It's very cloudy this afternoon.

On Friday, walking down the steps at the end of the workday, I felt something in my left calf like a rubberband breaking. Needless to say, it hurt. I limped down the rest of that flight of steps and took the elevator the rest of the way, then limped out to the car.

So I'm using that as an excuse to be lazy today. Yesterday, I still took a 43-min walk (at a slower pace), used ice and an ace bandage, and it's a lot better today. But since in general, I don't feel too energetic, I'm just going to laze around on it this afternoon. Might get in pool in a bit and do some exercise there. I've got two weeks until my 10K, and I want to be able to do that.

My fantasy football team is definitely rebounding! I'm on my way to another win today, five in a row. So I should make the fantasy playoffs. I want another T-shirt to go with my 2002 and 2002 championship years!

UT has hired Lane Kiffin, recently fired coach of the Oakland Raiders. Being fired by Al Davis is probably a good job recommendation... Supposedly his dad, current defensive coach of the Bucs, is coming with him. Monte Kiffin is supposed to be one of the best defensive minds in the NFL, but I wonder if he can work at the college level. His players won't have the size or speed (or brains) he's used to. Still, with those names, should make recruiting less shaky. Just nine months til we get to see the result...

Went to see "Australia" last night, starring Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman. Hugh's been working out. He almost looked as dapper all dressed up as Chris does... hee hee It was nice to see all that Northern Territory scenery again. But I kept being surprised at seeing them, Nicole Kidman especially, all dressed up, often in long sleeves, and no sign of sweat. Just kept thinking how hot she must be. But then Hugh Jackman would come back on screen and I stopped thinking about that...

Normally I decorate for Christmas this weekend after Thanksgiving, but can't really get into it. So maybe next weekend. I'm taking Friday off to use up some of the last of my use-or-leave vacation time.

Might go back up to the North Shore and see the waves - they get big this time of year. They had a major surfing competition up there yesterday (and maybe today). The pictures on the news were impressive. First place I've lived where surfing was covered in the sports broadcast on such a regular basis...

Well, I'll stop rambling for this entry. Hopefully I'll have more of a narrative next time around!
