Blogging ...

Can be difficult when you know that is this isn't private space but is rather globally distributed at the click of a mouse.
Yet, this is a place to vent, relax and be yourself. Not when you're not entirely sure who you are and whether you wonder if you can or should rely on what you know.
Self-editing can create as many or more problems as not being able to communicate feelings.
But "feelings" are probably not what you stopped by for.
There are a number of things I want to blog about, but am restrained not to do so for now.
Maybe the freedom to write on these subjects will present itself soon.

Iron Bowl
I've been talking to people about how the Alabama-Auburn game in Alabama is more than just a football game. It is, in and of itself, a way of life. This is not just a rivalry between current and former students of a school.
I've watched traffic in Montgomery dwindle to just a handful of people who just happened to be out, or were passing through town, oblivious to the gridiron battle raging somewhere in the state (between Auburn, Tuscaloosa or, at one time Birmingham).
This game's intensity has little to do with its national title implications. These schools could be 3-8 heading into tomorrow, but the game would still mean a great deal.
It has the potiential to be a job-breaker for coaches.
Well, it's almost midnight and we have to be up relatively early in the morning. Later!
