Thursday miscellanea #264

The teacher who sponsors Scholar’s Bowl called Lea this morning to tell her that Aaron made the team! We’re very proud! (This is also a big deal because Nathan tried out as a fourth-grader and didn’t make it. I’m happy for little brother to have a little something on big brother.)
Alabama will play Oklahoma in the Sugar Bowl, and let’s hope it looks nothing like Alabama’s last appearance in this game.
As the capper to one of the most incredible turnaround seasons ever, Auburn will play Florida State for the final BCS national title. It is much easier for me to pull for Auburn this time than it was in 2010, and I shall do so enthusiastically. Good luck, guys!
There are many processed meats for which a slightly healthier alternative made from poultry is available. Many of these are tasty. Turkey pepperoni, however, is disgusting. You’ve been warned.
Anyone else reclaiming the garage over the holidays? I’m disgusted with myself for letting it get so bad. The smallest task is an ordeal because it’s such a mess.
Overdue for “Revelation Song” in church. I hope we sing it soon.
I tried to stir folks up with the latest Arsenic & Old Spice column, appearing on Rocket City Mom tomorrow. Be sure to catch it, and if you disagree you’re wrong, but you’re welcome to wanly try to argue otherwise in the comments. (There; is that enough blood in the water?)
