It's football season once again...at least for high school. So, Friday nights now consist of me planting myself at the station playing engineer for the best sports caller on the planet. I love my job during sports season...it's a jive that works well for me. AND, hopefully, this time will allot me to be a better SG friend. My apologies all around for my lack of participation. It in no way is indicative of my feelings for each of you...it's a reflection of the sporadic behavior that mirrors the sporadic moods as of lately.

This weekend I'm headed out of town for our annual family reunion. This isn't your typical "noodle-salad reunion"...it's a weekend drunk fest within the safe confines of people who won't let you drown your drunk ass in the pool. The moving party has landed at Marty and Sharon's this year...equipped with a big ole pool, a huge pole-barn, a volleyball pit, and enough land to set up what we affectionately call "tent city." It's always one of the greatest weekends of the year, and this year, I expect nothing less.

Cousin Sam has rounded up all of our tents and went early this morning to pick our location...he likes to be centrally located, and the other three of us cousins like to be close to Sam, naturally. The three-day-hippy-fest began this afternoon, which I am now aching to join. Work allots me only one over-night pass though, so I will join the party in full swing tomorrow as soon as humanly possible.

I'm looking forward to this weekend this year more than ever. I find my peace and strength with my family...an endless supply at my disposable. I got it like that.

QUESTION: What is the last thing that made you smile?
