greetings

Any e-mail that begins with the word "greetings" makes me feel

like I've landed on the mother ship.

People.

Just say hello.

i totally missed the party...

"For a city home to a university that's won the title of "Most stone-cold sober" for 12 years in a row, Provo didn't look, act or feel like Provo Saturday evening.

In the wake of BYU's stunning 14-13 upset over No. 3 Oklahoma, spontaneous celebrations erupted throughout this city and lasted well into the early hours of the morning on Sunday.

BYU fans formed impromptu gatherings at places like LaVell Edwards Stadium, the Marriott Center, and the Wilkinson Center, among others, and several hundred of them showed up at the Provo Municipal Airport to welcome home the team when it landed at 1:45 in the morning.

It was a celebration unlike anything Provo had experienced in a long time."

...

School athletic pride isn't exactly my forte. In fact, I think BYU football fans can be particularly annoying -- so I tend to steer away from the trash-talk, the booing, and the murderously loyal fan club.

However, when I watched the student body welcome home the football team early Sunday morning, my blood turned an awesome shade of blue, and I began to wish I had stuck around Provo for the entire weekend.

Way to go boys. I loved watching your jubilation. You'll make a loyal fan of me yet.

beautiful day

It was a beautiful day.

Everything around me:

looked good,

smelled good,

tasted good,

sounded good,

felt good.

I hope September 1, 2009

treated you just as well.

(I can't remember where I pulled this picture from,

but I love it. Summer is fading fast.)
