Can I get a WOOT WOOT! It’s time to let your freak flag fly. It’s FREAKIN’ FRIDAY!

It’s been a pretty good week. I’m sure part of that has nothing to do with the fact that it was a 4 day work week. Nah. Tuesday was fairly uneventful. I went for a short ride on my motorcycle after I got home from work. It was the first time I rode since I had the dizzy spells. It felt really good to get back on it.

Wednesday night was the season premiere of Fox’s new show Glee. I have to admit I wasn’t sure about this one. I had not seen any of the pilot episodes, but had heard alot about it. I knew it was about a glee club. It just didn’t sound like something I’d watch. But…..that crap was funny. If you didn’t see it, sorry. If you did, the song at the assembly was classic. I laughed my butt off. Totally not what I expected. It earned a spot on my DVR … for now. Also, Wednesday night the New Yankee’s Derek Jeter tied Lou Gehrig’s hit record at 2,721. The record has stood for over 72 years. Friday night the Baltimore Orioles will have a front row seat to history as they enter Yankee Stadium and see #2 forever take his place alongside Lou and the Babe.

Thursday was busy. We had a station tour of 5 year olds that morning. Then Thursday night it was our first away game. Our Wildcats played the Maddox Panthers. It didn’t quite turn out the way we would have hoped. The Maddox Panthers were bigger, faster, and stronger. They beat us 28-0. Thursday also was the kickoff of the NFL season. The Tennessee Titans traveled to Pittsburgh to play the defending Super Bowl Champion Steelers. The Steelers needed overtime to finally win this snooze-fest defensive struggle, 13-10.

I have been looking forward to today. Not just because it’s Friday either. I’m in a defensive driving class for our city. I get to drive the “skid car”. I’ll be posting some pics or video soon from the class. What could not be fun about driving a car they don’t car about. Not worrying about damaging it. Driving as fast as you can. Spinning out and doing doughnuts in an open parking lot full small orange cones. And the best part …… I get paid to do it. Some days it’s just good to be me.

On a serious note, today is the 8th anniversary of the terrorist attacks of 9/11. Take just a moment today to reflect on what is most important. Never take for granted your family. Never take for granted your friends.  Never take for granted your freedom. Never forget those who no longer have a chance to take those things for granted. May God bless you, your family, and our great country. We need it now more than ever.

Have a great weekend everybody.
