"Supporting the UF Soccer Club isn't everything,
It's our only thing"
There is one (fund-raising) event per year... a match pitting the "old-timers" (some of whom are in their mid-20s) against the current squad. Pictured is last year's gathering; thinking I may join them this year now that I'm back in Florida. The game is April 9th, the three-year anniversary of Lana's arrival in Heaven!
Raymond Joel Eklund entered this world at 3:13 Pacific Standard Time (6:13 for us east-coasters), tipping the scales at 9 lb 6 oz. He's 22" long... bound to be a tall one; his mom is 5'11" and his dad is 6'6"
Last I heard, my niece Kristen Kynast Eklund had been in labor 21 hours out in San Francisco... she and her husband Joel are expecting their first child, a son, my brother Steve's first grandson (he does have a grand-daughter, courtesy of his own second child, Chelsea, and her husband, Adam Craw.) Kristen had just finished a three-mile-walk yesterday when her "water broke"...
I don't really have a "dog in this fight"; in fact, I'm more of a college football fan, but I'll be cheering for the Packers and Steelers to make it to the Super Bowl this year, because of the allegiances of my colleagues at ACA!
Crab Cake Factory was a hit... we tried the special of the day "Imperial Stuffed Grouper", which they split for us; can't say that I've ever had anything quite like it and it was delicious... great start to MLKing, Jr. weekend...
TK's had a blast the first couple days of the second semester... classes have been snowed out (and are scheduled to begin late today.) ACA has another snow day today... allowing my good friend Joe Hagan to extend his celebration of his alma mater's national football championship!!
Tim was scheduled to start classes today, but UNCA cancelled them anticipating a blizzard!
...then again, I suppose we're there ourselves... after the wedding, we picked out a spot for our honeymoon June 19-25 on Amelia Island here in north Florida!
Christmas Break has been wonderful! Kara and Tim were down for part of it; she's now back in Atlanta; he's with his grandparents in Gainesville... DID get to "do" church and lunch with these four (pictured in a booth at Pepper's ;-)
