Pretty




Power went out last night at 6. Came back on this morning right after 10:40.

Closed up all the bedroom doors, stayed in the living room and kept a fire going all night.

With a couple of blankets, sleeping on the couch was cozy.

WRAL says Moncure officially got 9-inches; Pittsboro 11-inches.

I measured in three places: 8 - 1/4+ inches.

Snow Day

Snow Day


Bird Feeders are Full

Big "Yule" Log in the Fireplace

I brought my work laptop and files home in anticipation of the weather. Getting some work done by the fire and looking out the window at the birds and the snow.

Not a bad way to spend a winter's day.

It's a Festivus Miracle

Dook

It's been a long time since I've written a blog entry.

Football

We won our bowl game easily. 9 - 4. A really good season. And only a couple of plays away from an 11 - 2 seasons.

We graduate just about our whole Defensive line (Bradley Chubb will be in the top 5 NFL draft and many think he'll be the No. 1 Pick!). But - we have a bunch of juniors who will step right up and we'll have another senior heavy line next year.

Our Offensive line will be caught up to our Defensive Line. We will have almost all seniors - and it's expected our OL will be even better than our DL.

It's a process. Coach DD has his program in place. About 20 recruits each year. Redshirt the Freshmen. Everybody gets playing at least some playing time as Red Shirt Freshman. Players develop right along and are top notch starters as Seniors with the occasional Junior.

Basketball

We play Dook tonight.

I'll be at every game - cheering on our team.

It's very possible we won't win a single ACC game. Probably will win a couple.

It's a process.

K2 will get us there. He's the solid coach we want and need - much like DD. The process will work - it'll take about 3 years in basketball to see the results.

I don't usually post about loses unless something special happens.

Like, maybe Grayson Allen will get an "accidental" elbow to his nose tonight. That would be well worth a Technical Foul.

It might be a long time till I post again.

Eight months till football.
