He Took a Face From the Ancient Gallery and He Walked On Down the Hall

Monday. Happy Halloween to you all! No holiday fiestas around here, though. No one dressed up, no one is giving out candy, and no one is playing Monster Mash over the speaker system. It's just another day around here (which sometimes can be scary enough, especially when thinking of the long term...). I spent the morning wrapping up some reports that I had to get out, and I just finished a 45-minute conversation in which I had the pleasure of walking someone through how to do something in our system over the phone. Having to do it over the phone is hard enough, but this lady seemingly had no computer-savvy skills whatsoever. Hey, I'm not some crazy computer genius or anything (quality of this site a testament to that fact), but I at least know the basic navigation procedures for our main operating system. I think I helped her out, though, or at least tried my best so hopefully she'll do ok with it.

Ok, time to go over the football weekend:

Tennessee lost. I'm not ready to talk about it yet. The pain is still fresh. They started out the season as national champ contenders, now they are just fighting to get into a bowl game. The last time I can remember a season this bad for the Vols was in 1992 and the fired the coach. Now, I like Phil Fulmer and I don't want to see him go so let's go big Phil and get your team into shape before we end up losing to (gulp) Kentucky or something...

Colorado State won, though, so they are looking pretty good again in the MWC. If only TCU wouldn't have come back to win over San Diego State, they would be sitting pretty. This one is going to come down to when the two teams meet, I think. You can do it, Rammies!

USC took care of Washington State fairly easily. Texas had a huge scare from Oklahoma State but was able to pull off the win. Virginia Tech handled Boston College no problem. Florida upset Georgia and I have to admit I was a bit surprised at this one. I thought Georgia was going to make a run for the Rose Bowl for sure. I guess now it is up to Alabama to represent the SEC in the BCS.

Oh, in professional sports the Broncos racked up a slew of points against the much-vaulted Philadelphia Eagles' defense. Way to go, guys! In a side note, a big best wishes and hopefully speedy recovery for Bronco Dwayne Carswell.

I listened to The Doors on the way into work today. I picked The Doors because I woke up today with The Soft Parade in my head and I thought that Jim Morrison and Co. would be a nice selection for Halloween. Since I've already reviewed the Doors here and this post is running long I think I will cut it short for today. I hope you all have a good Halloween!
