The BCS rankings came out this week and we were not at all surprised to see the SEC conference boasting the most ranked teams.

In fact, the Eastern division has more ranked teams than all other conferences except the Big 12 (they have six total, while we have seven total).

We wish our UGA team was doing better this year, but in a conference like this one… 5-2 is not so bad. Of course, we have a bye week and then it’s onto Florida. Gulp.

We also wish that South Florida was around when we were at school a mere 36 miles away. Go Bulls!

The Office premiered last night and it was so worth the wait.

There were many funny lines including the above quote, Michael claiming that he was not superstitious but was more reasonably “slightly-stitious,” and Angela explaining how to deliver meds to her sick cat.

For more laughs, see what the cast did over the summer break by watching this 3 minute video on YouTube.

Photos from our second trip of the year “out west” are up on Flickr. We had a wonderful time, and Leandra came back a year older. :)

We’ve arrived in Montana! It is a little smoky, but at least it is cooler than Durham (which was 101 yesterday).

Well, we are halfway home. American Airlines canceled our flight from La Guardia to Raleigh, and couldn’t get us on another flight until Friday afternoon. Thankfully my parents were able to come out and pick us up. Right now we’re having an Italian dinner in Manhattan so we can’t complain too much! Hopefully Riesling can take another day without us…

I’m at a conference in San Diego for the next few days, and luckily, the hotel is on the bay and across the street from the ocean. Rough life…

New photos from our backyard are now up!

Surprisingly, this is our first Durham Bulls game of 2007. Hopefully we’ll win!

Update: Unfortunately, we lost 4-3, but the weather and cold beer were fine, so it’s hard to complain.

and pup is happy is happy we are back!
