A little tidying up

So what's been going on with moi? Well, I was all set to go see Braves vs. Dodgers on July 31, but had tire issues with the Durango. By the time I changed the tire in the Ferg parking deck and got done at the Dodge dealership, it was too late to make opening pitch. So I cancelled that trip. Boo. I had great seats in the first row on the first base side, too. Sigh.
There is some good news, though. On Aug. 1, I officially took a new position in the same office I've been working in at UA. It is essentially a promotion. I'm quite happy about it, and so far I haven't bitten off more than I can chew. *knock on wood* The first few weeks are stressful since there are a couple of major upgrades to be done. (One is in the books already.) But things will even out, and I will get to go to San Diego this fall for a conference, so that's pretty neat.
Last Saturday was fun filled with shooting UA grad, then booking it to Montgomery for Melanie's wedding, topped off with a Biscuits game with Mom. The highlight of that day might have been hearing this folksy, country, gospel fusion of "Dixie" on the Oldies station that may or may not have been sung by Elvis. I'm gonna have to go look for it later. (*many minutes pass* "An American Trilogy." Bingo.)
In the middle of this new job stuff, of course, is Bid Week. So I've been Zapping when I can, which so far hasn't been too much. But Saturday and Sunday are huge because I'll be at Miss. St. Bid Day in Starkville, then back in Tuscaloosa for UA Bid Day.
Heading to Arkansas next weekend for some visiting of peoples. More on that later.
Twenty-two days until ALABAMA FOOTBALL! Just listed my Va. Tech tickets on StubHub yesterday. I'm doing my best Mr. Burns impression here. Excellent...
