The day started off with our weekly visit to Peach Valley Cafe for breakfast and then I was off to softball practice. Since both Tiburon softball teams lost last week, everyone thought it would be a good idea to go ahead and have another practice this morning. I was able to get some more batting and fielding practice, so I thought it was good to go ahead and go out. We had about thirteen people show up, which is about half of the people who are on the softball teams.

The afternoon was used to prepare for hurricane Jeanne. My preparation consists of bringing in the grill, garden hose, and wheel barrow and placing them in the garage. It’s been cloudy with occasional sprinkles all day. We are supposed to start feeling the effects of the hurricane tonight around 2:00 in the morning with the eye of the storm getting to us around noon tomorrow. I will report tomorrow on how we faired in the storm.

Just finished watching Texas pretty much roll all over Rice tonight 35-13. Wasn’t really a good match up. Next week is Baylor and then the following weekend, or wedding anniversary, Texas plays Oklahoma. Can Texas beat OU for the first time since the day that we were married?

Today was a pretty busy day. It started off with softball practice. I’ve joined the Tiburon softball team. We have so many people we are actually going to have two teams. In fact, the first game is between the two Tiburon teams. I could tell that it had been four years since I had played softball, especially when it came to batting.

While I was at softball practice, the guys working on the floor came and finished off the trim work and helped get the furniture back in place. The floor is finally complete and is looking good. We still need to get all the baseboards painted and Jennifer is currently looking for someone to come in and do that.

After lunch Lucas and Connor’s mom finally arrived and took the boys home. Ahhh, silence. It has been so much more quiet around the house. For the most part they were good, but I’m not looking forward to trying that again.

Tonight was the draft for a fantasy football league that I’m in being run by a friend, Tom Carbone. I usually play in a league for money with an old friend from Houston, Tom Kent, but I decided I really didn’t have time to devote a lot of time to fantasy football this year. Tom convinced me to play when he said that his league was “just for fun”. His two sons are even playing in the league. We are also using the new fantasy football web site being run by EA Sports. We got free accounts since we work for EA.

Finally, Texas narrowly beat out Arkansas 22 – 20 tonight. It was a great game, close the whole time and a nail biter all the way to the end. A fumble by Arkansas near the end cost them the game.
