Merry Christmas!
From the pressing on... cast and crew (a.k.a., me), Merry Christmas to all, and may your season be truly blessed.
Oh happy day...
All of my Christmas shopping is done. My sister and brother-in-law (and their dog) have made it in safe and sound, and while the dog's incessant yipping will mean little sleep for me tonight, it's good to see them.
Tonight I went to Chad and Karen's house for a get-together with some of the young adults in the church. I got to see Michelle Piper, who currently attends grad school at Alabama and goes to the BCM sometimes, as well. I gave my old Rubik's cube for a white elephant gift (my new one moves more freely, so it's not a big loss). We had a good time.
Tomorrow night -- the Christmas Eve tradition that we've had for years. We'll go over to my aunt's house, eat, and play games until around midnight, at which point we'll come back over here and sleep in on Christmas morning (except my sister and/or brother-in-law, due to the aforementioned dog). I have given some thought to going to see the Blue-Gray game since it's only 30 minutes away, I've never gone before, and it'd be one last chance to see some Bama guys play this year. I doubt I'll end up doing it, but you never know...

1122 headcovers?
So, the other day I'm playing golf and in the process of a round I lose my 3-wood's headcover. It's not a big deal, really, in that it was just a plain blue muff with a 3 on the top, but it put me on the lookout for a new set of headcovers.
At first, I naturally looked at the Alabama headcovers, but I found that the best price that I could get for a set of three was a touch under $30. This seems a bit much for me right now. My discretionary income (what little there is) could best be spent in other ways. But in the process of looking around, I stumbled upon a site that lets you make headcovers with your own logo on them.
Now, admittedly, it's even more expensive than the college ones. And I'd have to order at least 12 headcovers. But the whimsical part of me thinks it'd be really cool to have 1122 Productions-brand headcovers.

German's fourth law of graduate school
If you are the first to finish a test, with 20 minutes remaining, you have either done very well...or very poorly.
I hope that my test today qualifies as the former.
