So today is one of my favorite Saturdays of the year. The annual Army/Navy football game in Philly. I've been watching the game since I was just a little pain in the ass. My dad got me into it. I always thought it was weird that he thought the game was such a big deal since Georgia never played in it; but as I got older I realized it's not about the team it's about all the people behind the teams. These guys are not just football players, they are soon to be officers that will be putting their lives on the line for our country. For me the game is a chance to look at the TV and ooze with pride at the men and women that we turn out from this great country. And with as messed up as things are these days, it's wonderful to know that these guys have our backs.
Now with a great grandaddy that served on a battleship in WWII and a granddaddy that also served in the Navy after WWII I am obviously a Navy man. But again, the game is only slightly about who wins. More importantly its about celebrating our armed forces and the men and women who serve. So I'd like to give a shout out to all those who have put in their time taking care of all of us here at home. Doug and Bish, this especially goes out to you guys, even though you only joined the Air Force. Just kidding. You guys are my heroes.
Now, for the important part.
GO NAVY! BEAT ARMY!

Thanks. I think. ...
Navy pulled it out, though, eh?
(btw, Say Anything is one of my favorite groups.. they were through town last month on a weekday and i had to miss em. drat!)
sweet. i would love to catch them if they come through here. i caught one of their songs on the radio and pulled up their album on my music service at home and was blown away. one of the better ones to come along in quite some time if you ask me.
