Does this mean SB XLVI is really a snoozer?

The last fish in our aquarium decided to let us know how it felt about Super Bowl XLVI. He was a good fish; never complained.

The power of the Rat Zapper!

Beau let me know there was a "visitor" in the yard the other night.

I set out the Rat Zapper in the morning and the next morning--Bingo!

That device is very effective and was a good idea. Still see 'em available at City Mill.

Coach & AD Magazine Recognizes Linfield Football

Linfield Athletics announced a cover story on its football program in a nationally-circulated magazine.

It's a terrific compilation of articles of which anyone associated with the school and its football program should be very proud.

End of the Road

Linfield found the road to Salem was a little too long especially when it winds through Dover, Delaware.

The Wildcats' season ended over 2500 miles away from where it started in September after the Wesley Wolverines rode a series of uncharacteristic mistakes and lapses by Linfield to eradicate a 20-point Linfield halftime lead. Wesley scored 42 unanswered points in the second half to continue on to the Quarterfinals in the DIII playoffs.

Brent's football career also ended this weekend about 5000 miles away from where it started back in his eighth grade year at St. Louis. It was a very memorable ride for Juliet and me. And I know Brent feels very fortunate for the opportunities and experiences he had.

It will be a lot different for all of us now that both of the boys are done playing organized sports but we'll look forward to whatever is down that road.

Samsung Galaxy S II

Trying out my new Smartphone today.

So far, so good. I saw it on sale at Radio Shack for $49.99; AT&T wanted $199 for it.

It's a 4g phone and I was able to keep my Unlimited Data Plan and so far it seems like a great bargain. It's fast!

It has a 8mp camera and looks like the reviews were right...it takes nice photos.

More later...

Preview of the longest trip

Wildcat11 of Advantage Catdome posts a game preview each week that Linfield football plays.

I'm glad he will be able to make the trip to Dover. One more familiar element for the team on Saturday.

Here's his game breakdown

Round One Down

The Wildcats used all but 33 seconds of the full 60 minutes of gametime to once again knock Cal Lutheran out of the playoffs, 30-27 at Maxwell Field this past Saturday.

It was the third straight year that the two teams have met in the first round with Linfield coming out ahead all three times.

This one was a nail-biter as the Kingsmen from California fought back from a 20-3 deficit to come within a Field Goal from tying the game as time was running out.

A blocked field goal secured the win in the last minute of play and led to a happy Wildcat greeting after the game.

The team will travel across the country to face Wesley College in Dover, Delaware on Saturday.
