Remembrance Day Friday September 11th

Eight years ago today the Twin Towers and Pentagon were attacked. I remember getting the news from my buddy Joe when I picked him up for a golf outing that sunny Tuesday morning. Just the night before, Jason and I had purchased plane tickets to London for mid-October. Everything changed that morning. I'm certainly glad I don't have now that sick empty feeling in my stomach I had for the next couple of days then. Gotta give Rowan a big hug when I pick her up from day care today...Link of some photos from Ground Zero yesterday. [NY Times & Chicago Tribune]

That's Rowan up there visiting with Noah Shlater last weekend. Tomorrow will be Rowan's first IU football game vs. Western Michigan. I can only hope she brings them some good luck and we can pull out a win. I certainly don't think it will be easy. The Redskins kick off the season Sunday afternoon at 4PM vs. the NY Giants. Tough matchup, but it will go a long way to showing what kind of team they are this year. I for one am hoping it's a winning one. See what Pro Football Talk says, I like the way he thinks! [PFT.com]

Ninja Monkeys were drafted last week and we start the season vs. a tough opponent in Buzz Relue. It's a long season, but I really need a good start! [SpydeysWebb.com]
