Hey Folks,
Glad I wrote early yesterday. Much of the rest of the day was filled with a shopping trip (an estate sale and then groceries) to Sierra Vista and then relaxing.
For that reason, and because I already know the balance of the day will be filled with a major chore, I walked into the Hovel at a little after 2 this morning. Wheee!
I learned from a Tatum NM (population 811 in the 2017 census) high school classmate on Facebook yesterday that our alma mater’s 8-man football team will play for the NM state championship on Saturday, November 24th. Go Coyotes! (grin)
We played for the championship (11-man) in the year I graduated (1970) too. I was a defensive back at 5’8″ amd 131 pounds soaking wet. (grin) We lost, but we showed up. May this year’s team go one game better.

At 4 a.m. I’m suddenly feeling under the weather. Think I’ll take the day off today. I’ll be back to post this.
Talk with you again soon.
