Well, the Olympics have been over for a week. What a let down. Tide Guy and I enjoyed watching the Olympics and have missed the competitions. The closing ceremonies were great. Not as great as the opening ceremonies, but still very nice. I think many people sighed a huge sigh of relief once the competitions were over. There were no disasters that were predicted before the Olympics started. In fact, many were surprised at how smoothly things went. Of course, there were some mishaps and the death of an American volleyball coach's father, but everything else was great.
Our house now has a few windows. They should finish installing those within two compete work days. We shopped today for a front door. Ugh. So much to decide and too many things to consider. We are also having a problem with a master tub. It seems the 5 foot length we need doesn't come very deep in many brands. With Tide Guy at 6'2", he needs a deeper tub if it isn't long just to be able to get all his limbs under water. He says that if he really wants to soak, he will just get into the hot tub outside. Hmmm.....
In sports news, we just returned from a great, fun filled weekend in Atlanta. The University of Alabama played Clemson at the Georgia Dome on Saturday. We meet our tailgating friends and had a blast. And we smoked them 34-10. It was a great game from the moment Bama got off the bus in Atlanta until they marched out of the Georgia Dome with a great win.
Hurricane Gustav hit Louisiana today on the three year anniversary of Katrina. Gustav doesn't seem to be as severe as originally thought. There is damage, but the majority of the population evacuated over the weekend. Gas last Tuesday at the Race Trac was $3.40. It is now up to $3.50ish in less than a week. Alabama plays Tulane on Saturday and the football team has evacuated to Birmingham to practice and wait for the game.
