Something that made this a good day was the ability to do some major sleeping in. Verra good, indeed. For some reason, during moment of semi-lucidity, I woke up and thought that I had overslept for work. After some mental gymnastics, I deduced that it was “Sunday” and not “Monday,” I rolled over, curled up in the blankets and zoned out again.

Football!
Today was opening day for the season. Baltimore played Carolina and lost. Although, I can’t be too upset about that: The Ravens may be my #1 team, but Panthers are #2… besides, after the past few seasons that Carolina has had, I am just glad to see them with a game in the “W” column. Miami (my #3 team) seems to have whooped-up on Detroit. So, my teams are 2 – 1 on the day. I can live with that.

While watching the end of the Minnesota-Chicago game, I managed to get an AIM client working under Linux. Simple pleasure, but an accomplishment nonetheless.

What’s on tap for the rest of the day? Not sure yet. But, after a good night’s morning’s sleep and some gridiron action, I think that I’m ready for pretty much anything.

Peace.
