I have been reading "Living the Mass: How one hour a week can change your life" by Fr. Dominic Grassi and Joe Paproki. I want to know how to apply what I do on Sunday morning to the rest of my week. I will let you know what I think.

Well that was unexpected. We seem to be two teams. One team for big games, the other for routine games.

Putting the house back together.

Spent the day working on the roof. Put primer on the rebuilt eves and carefully pried out the damaged shingles. Cut away the decking and spliced in two pieces of plywood to rebuild the broken corner of the roof. It took a while to find shingles to match. While I was at Home Depot three people came by looking for the same shingles (weathered wood) that I was searching for. It seems that must of the woodlands must have the same roofing. The home depot was packed with people buying fence and home repair materials. Tomorrow I should be able to place the new shingles on the roof. I will post a picture of the finished work.

Now watching the OSU vs Wisconsin. First half we looked a little mediocre. It's a night game and at Wisconsin. High hopes, but a lot of fear.

Had my yearly performance report on Friday. This was assessment number 26 and one more to go before reaching age 55.

Saturday 5:52am Status

Lost cable TV about 5 minutes ago. Still have internet (how long?). Was watching a series of television spots where the storm chasers are saying that the back of the storm is stronger than the front. Looks like we won't get the eye. The eye will skirt to the east and we will be in the eye wall for the rest of the time as it passes.

House is holding together, but hear banging as things hit the roof.
