NERDS!!!
Bear with me. I feel like the Southbound end of a Northbound horse today — this respiratory infection ain't messin' around — but I'll do what I can.

So what movie did you and the red head go see the other night and what did you think? I believe it was between ZDT and Gangster Squad...

I've been better. Really, I have.
The raccoons were away for a while, but they've been back in force the past couple of weeks.
No AC in the car yet. But it's like 10 degrees outside. I'll fix it at some point.

Current temp in Knoxille is 36, not even close to 10. Suck it up!! (It's 28 degrees here, which is about 18-30 degrees above normal for January)

Hopefully fix it before summer. And Damn them rabid things!
Another question: What are the biggest storylines going into the spring practice right now that need to be addressed?

Will UT go 0-2 this week?
Does the show off put up 30 again and get to taunt the UT bench?

If you could only see one movie that debuts in 2013, what would it be?
Who will enjoy more success over the next decade, UT baseball or basketball?
With the news that Pearl Jam has booked a show at Wrigley Field for later this year, how many runs will they beat the Cubs by?

Any morsel of food left out or in my case thrown out will attract coons and skunks. I live way out and used to feed the yard with left overs .being the genius that I am I finally figured it out.

I am attending my first game ever in TBA on Saturday. My last home game was in 1983 at Stokely. Anything you recommend that we do or see in the building before the game?

1) I don't know a full list.
2) Baseball, IMO. But basketball will be fine, too.
3) At least three or four.

I don't know.
He looked much better Saturday, but he's still got a long way to go. I know Golden pretty well, and I have no idea what's been going through his head for the last few weeks. He's just seemed different.
