Getting the hang of the car seat…

Seen on Main Street, Knoxville. Alas, Megan Fox is nowhere to be found.

Our infant car seat is installed. Now we just need an infant. :)

28-14. Clinched it on a pick 6 with about two minutes left. Crowd rushed the field as Bulldogs beat rival Farragut for the first time in nine tries and advance to the semifinals.

Bearden and Farragut just started the second half, tied 7-7. It's standing-room-only craziness in the crowd.

They just raised the Lady Vols' championship banner here at Thompson-Boling Arena. As a Nutmegger, I'm not entirely sure how I feel about this. :) But I have no qualms about saying: Go Tennessee, Beat Texas!

A Tennessee Vols Christmas cookie cake. Heh.

The Skunkbears and Buckeyes BOTH lost! HAHAHA! Go Illinois! The Big Ten is officially, justly irrelevant! … In less positive news, um, the service academies officially own Notre Dame. Air Force wins, 41-24.

We're at Thompson-Boling Arena for Tennessee's men's basketball opener against Temple. Go Vols!

UPDATE: Tennessee won, 80-63. We had fun at the game. Great newly renovated arena. Here’s a photo of me there:

That’s Bruce Pearl’s autograph on my shirt, BTW, from back in June.

Anyway, tomorrow, I go to Neyland Stadium for the UT-Arkansas football game! Woohoo!

P.S. Oh, and GOOOO IRISH! BEEEEAT FALCONS! … and FIGHT ON TROJANS! BEAT THE BEARS!

Remember that big artificial Christmas tree that I posted a picture of them building in downtown Knoxville last week? Well, it’s up now.

It took a while because of the drought, but the fall colors are finally in full force in downtown Knoxville.

I'm about to go to DHL to ship my laptop to Apple. As I mentioned last month, my manifesto caught the eye of the “God level” tech support people, and I'll be getting a new hard drive and motherboard.

We're with Adrienne (who is visiting from L.A. this weekend) at the Bluegrass in the Smokies festival in Sevierville. Fun!

NHC holds Dean at a “possibly conservative” 160 mph as of 11pm. Awaiting more data. I’m at Layla’s Bluegrass Hillbilly & Country Inn.
