Back in the Football Game

It feels really good to be back in football.  Arriving in Michigan to highs in the mid 70's and a perfect sky, it felt like football weather.   Im working with Charles who I built houses with in California City.   Charles has been with Sportvision for 8 years and I wish I were going to be working with him every week, but realistically, this will be the only week.

This is the first week of the season and so we had to come in a day early to install all the computers on the truck and get the equipment ready for the season.

The game is at noon on saturday.  I'm looking forward to it.

Delayed for a stupid reason.

So while waiting to board the flight to Lansing, there came a big rain/
thunder storm. It was pretty substantial- a real "frog strangler". Of
course, no one likes delays, but most people can "roll" with a weather
related delay.
But here's the kicker: some moron left the door open on the uncovered
airplane and it filled up with water. Yep, the captain came into the
terminal and I heard him tell the gate agent that they was over an
inch of water in the plane for a short time and that he could see
water bubbles running down the emergency lighting on the floor.
So now, we've been waiting almost an hour while maintenance checks out
the plane and they suck all the water put with a wetvac.

I'm at the airport - about to fly out to my first football game of the
season. The game is in Michigan , at Lansing which is the capital of
the state. Its a game that will air at noon on Saturday on ESPN (I
think).
