Update

So in the last month:

1) I went to, and UVa lost at its game with Virginia Tech (who went on to Beat BC and win the Gator Bowl). However I had a great time, Scott Stadium was rocking, and there was a lot of orange to go around (Hoo orange, not Hokie orange, although there was a lot of that too).

2) Although that meant I did not go to Jacksonville for the ACC Championship game, I will be going for the Gator Bowl when UVa plays Texas Tech at 1 PM EST on January 1, 2007.

3) We not only have 1, but 2 dogs right now, since we're keeping my wife's parents' dog...that's fun, but chaotic, and we take him back to Virginia with us on December 22 for good.

4) The drought is still as bad as ever, but because everyone has been conserving so much, the lake is actually filling back up slowly. However we've gotten only about 1" of rain since mid-October and we really could use some. Despite this my winter rye has mostly come up and my yard doesn't look half bad. We're still in the worst category of drought, along with most of upstate SC, NC, AL and some of Tennessee.

5) Subtropical Storm Olga formed today out of the blue (and past the "end" of Hurricane Season) but is expected to dissipate after it creates a little havoc in Puerto Rico and Hispanola.

6) A big winter storm is leaving ice all over the middle part of the country from Texas to Illinois. However here it is 73 and sunny...strange with all the Christmas lights out...feels like south Florida or something.

7) As for the BCS, Geaux Tigers, Dawgs, Illini and Hokies...I can't decide who I like in the Fiesta (OU & WVU).
