A look back on some of the favorite things we have experienced in 2008.

A drizzlily day today which is quite welcome after a long dry period. Coolness is appreciated too. Starting to feel a bit like fall… Speaking of fall, yesterday was the start of the new school year. Christen is now a freshman at Parkland High. Seems it was not too long ago she was just starting [...]

While I did not expect the Deacons to get into the top 25, at the very least they should have received some votes. But on the AP and USA Today polls [...]
