At last it is Friday. Just 11 more weeks of working. We are sitting home waiting for our weekend company to arrive. They should be here within the hour. We spent our evenings this week cleaning up so the house looks good and we are ready to enjoy the weekend.

    Tonight is Big Blue Madness, the official start of University of Kentucky basketball. They can start practicing at midnight tonight and the first practice is an extravaganza!

We have a new coach, John Calipari who's brought in a "blue" ribbon class of recruits. It ought to be an interesting year. Their first exhibition game is Nov. 2 and the first game that counts is Nov. 13. Here's a photo from the UK-Alabama game last year. We went down to Tuscaloosa to see the game. It turned out to be the last game for the Alabama coach as he resigned a few days later. Kentucky has that effect on people.
