It's the most wonderful time of the year

Yes that's right, it is the start of college basketball! Heels had their first game and even though they were a little rusty and playing without two senior starters they won easily. I think this team can be very special, especially if they stay healthy and un-selfish. We will know for sure in early April.

I am working out hard, preparing for my hip replacement. I want to be as strong as possible, in hopes of helping my re-hab. I think my entire outlook will improve after getting rid of the pain. It isn't constant but it flares up every time I put it under stress. I know it won't be as good as new but should be better than what I have now.

Still watching HS football and the Hibriten Panthers have a real shot at going to the 2AA finals and the scary part is they may be even better next year. They have a few seniors but a really strong group of soph's. They have a young man named Trip Patterson that could be a serious DI athlete. Several others that are almost that good and a solid O-line.

Have my eyes set on the Apps and hope they make it back to Chattanooga. My goal is to be well enough to make that trip. Should have the staples out and back on my feet. It is good to have goals.
