Hello readers!  How about them Saints??  To be honest I’m not really a huge NFL fan.  Last year I finally took a serious look at the sport, and as you all know it’s kind of hard to get involved in a sport without having a favorite team.  So being in Denver at the time it was kind of a no brainer of who i could root for.  Even though the Broncos had one heck of a start this year they still fell short of making the playoffs.  So before the Super Bowl started on Sunday I decided to cheer for the Saints since they have never made a Super Bowl appearance.

Now here’s my interesting Tuesday morning.  Well it all started with me laying in bed wide awake at 6:55am still have not fallen asleep yet.  I’m just waiting for the alarm to go off at 7am because my girlfriend Breanne has a job interview at 9am.  I’m thinking to myself that it’s going to be a long day at practice without having any sleep under my belt.  Anyways 8am rolls around and I’m trying to drink coffee like it’s my job.  Kevin Harris texts me and says that he’s leaving at 8:30 for practice.  So as Breanne finishes up eating breakfast she asks me to start her car for her while I’m walking out the door.  I agree to do so because i don’t have a choice.  I start the car and then jump in with Harry.  As we start to pull out Breanne is trying to get my attention, so I roll down the window.  Breanne proceeds to tell me very calmly that I’ve locked her keys in the car, with it running, and that she has to be at her job interview in 30min which is also a 15min drive away.  Of course we don’t have a spare key.  I’m an idiot.  Thank god while all this is going down Don Melynk walks out of his apartment and offers Breanne his truck to use.  So there we all go, Breanne to her job interview, us boys to hockey practice, and our little white Civic running idle with the keys locked inside sitting in the parking lot.  After practice we all returned home and the car was still there, purring like a champ.  Melynk and I tried our luck with the old clothes hanger trick but after 20min of that we gave up.  Just as we thought I was going to have to drop $80 on a locksmith our neighbor who is a police officer pulled in.  He grabbed his tools and within 2 minutes I was racing off to the gas station to fill the car up before it died.  What a start to the day.

Well, after a not so bad weekend on the road where we had a win, a loss, and an overtime loss.  3 out of 6 points was not the results we wanted but it’s also not too bad either.  Pensacola and Mississippi have competitive teams that play even that much better at home.  So this upcoming weekend is again another big weekend for us.  We have Columbus Friday in Knoxville and then a home and home with Huntsville, three games that can help us big time if we get three wins.
