Feelin’ this!

I did something dangerous 5 minutes ago….I put Nat King Cole’s Christmas album on!!! Ahhhhhh!

The air is very crispy and the trees are half dropped and half yellowing and oranging the ground. WOW! Never knew how much I have missed this! It is a comforting feeling. Something that I just can’t imagine not growing up with, or living without. It just encompasses family and feeling and love, memories, and warmth. Fall, football, food, weather, warmsyness, Christmas anticipation...

Okay, okay, it’s only September get a grip on that cheesiness!

So, it was an interesting week. School was school and it’s getting settled in….I think. We (Case) had to stay late Thursday night b/c of an open house. It was a long night, making a dragging Friday! BUT! We got a good recover last night with sleepy cold weather and rest!

On a side future note, I found out that I get to teach "Cinema as Art" for my 2nd semester of an English elective for upperclassmen. Awesomely, a lot of upper classmen doubled up on English and won't even need that Cinema class, so hopefully it is a small class.

I'll probably show old, classic films, decade by decade up to some more recent ones, but we all know how ridiculous some films of today are, and there is something called, "Rated R" that shall not be permitted, per se. Either way, I'm pumped for the class and might need to contact several of you for ideas.

Anyways, on the way home that Thursday of open house it was getting pretty dark with a little duskyness to it. All of the sudden!!!!!!! A moose appeared in our lane! Huge, tall, and with skinny legs. I barely saw it because our lights just shown on his legs not high enough for his body.

Luckily Casey (the driver) saw it and braced for it. The moose quickly scampered into the on coming traffic, who in my opinion did not even see it. It was only a miracle they didn’t hit the moose and floop it up over to us. WOW!

Also the other day we saw a cute skinny puny moose in a construction company’s huge parking lot just feebly standing all scared. There was about 2 cars stopped to take a picture (HA!) and a highway patrol was there to usher it back the woods 300 yards away. Such a Bambi like moment for that baby moose. Neat!

Side bar: We have 2 flat tires on the truck - the Jeep now serves us!

Well, I’m going to do some Ireland and Christmas research online, and later we’ll go to the property to hang out. They’ve had a black tar sealant on the concrete foundation the past few days. Other than that, we wonder what’s next…..

Gotta go get some teriaki chicken and steak with rice + the same thing but with sweet and sour! Casey the chef! WOOYEAH!
