Early Bird Gets the Gifts
I've been pretty moody and philosophical in my last few posts. So I think it'll be a nice break to just have a silly random post again.
Anna Kate and I watched "The Polar Express" last night. It's practically her favorite movie, and I could see why. Whatever your feelings about Santa Claus, this movie will challenge you to set aside your adult half and view it through the eyes of an innocent little child. If only to be able to hear the silver bell at the very end of the movie. The voice talents of Tom Hanks (who did pretty much every adult on the train) also helped my enjoyment a lot.
Oh yeah, we also watched the second half of "Scrooged," starring Bill Murray. It's a very disturbing movie on all the weird levels, but still very funny. I'll go on the record as saying the Ghost of Christmas Present creeps me out.
I had to have a new battery installed for my car yesterday after it zonked out on me at Furman Tuesday morning. Considering that's the first major problem it's had since I got it last Christmas, I'd say it's been in capable hands.
I got to Haywood at 9:00 this morning to pick up my paycheck from Thanksgiving weekend (it was nice to have a summer vacation-esque amount again). And I figured as long as I was there, I'd go ahead and get a little of my Christmas shopping done. A little turned into a lot as I managed to take care of my family presents, as well as get started on Anna Kate's. And because I know she'll stop by here at some point, I'll say no more about it. Nyah. :)
Oh yeah; local sports update. Furman football travels to Boone, NC on Saturday for the I-AA semifinals. Their opponent? None other than SoCon rival, Appalachian State. We took care of business against the Mountaineers in October, beating them 34-31, but that took place within the friendly confines of Paladin Stadium. Plus, this is Furman in the playoffs. Anything can happen (and usually does). But nevertheless, I predict the Fighting Football Paladins will spot ASU an early lead (along the lines of 14-0, maybe), only to come roaring back behind the arm of Ingle Martin and the speed of Justin Stepp. Furman takes a close one, 24-21. One victory from the title game. To all my fellow football faithful lucky enough to travel by bus to Boone - cheer your lungs out, guys! Good luck!

Verse of the Day: “I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. This is to my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples." - John 15:5&8
