Today is the eighth day of the eighth month, and what is the significance? I don't know! That is to quote a famous (in my relation, but not generally) movie from when I was a little kid. Now I am a big kid.
This morning I went to the doctor for my ear. I didn't sleep well last night at all, and it turns out that I have an ear infection. I've never had one of those. I've got pills and drops. Supposedly it will all be cleared up in five days. Hopefully that is true, because I have a big week ahead of me.

I'm so excited, because my sister and three nephews are currently here. Andrew, four years old but the oldest of the, play a little whiffle ball with me. It makes me so happy to see him hit the ball and his reactions. I have a great opportunity to mold him and refine his skills. I am a huge supporter of athletics, and I'm hoping my nephews grow to be athletes.

So here is the deal: Today I went to Columbus to watch The Ohio State Buckeyes practice. It started in the Woody complex and moved outdoors after a few timed sessions. I went with Tim, and we were allowed to roam the sideline. It was totally awesome, but the ultimate satisfaction came after practice ended. I was given the opportunity to spend about five minutes in direct conversation with Jim Tressel. That man is awesome. He never comes across like he makes millions of dollars. The man just seems like he's on the same level as you, but at the same time I felt the aura of a genius. He seems like a common man, and his demeanor is very simple. He is a very nice man who is easy to talk to. He's Tressel! I also had a chance to meat other coaches, but Tress took the cake. Shelly Poe, who is in charge of Jim's agenda was unavailable however I did meet his secretary. It was a most memorable day that will not ever be forgotten.

Besides my adventuresome day, my sister and nephews are going to be here when I get back. I am totally elated about this new friend I made Sunday in the Bingo tent at the church fest Sunday. Her email brightened my whole day. I love meeting new people.

Volunteering at the hospital was awesome today. The factors for my mailings are all in place now, and I had a chance to work with Ramona's step-daughter, maybe Chrissy/Christen. She was awesome, and a big help!
Tomorrow is a big day for me... nuff said...goodnight!

The social was all I hoped it would be and more. I did not win the SUV again this year, but that was no big surprise nor disappointment. Somebody outside the parish won it again this year. Now that is something I would have liked; to see somebody from Columbus Grove or a relative win the biggest drawing of them all. Oh well... the whole event was a successful turnout I believe,
as it seemed rather crowded throughout the day.
I spoke to Tim this morning, and it sounds like I may be going to a Buckeyes practice on Wednesday. It's not official yet but that sounds promising.
Mark made it back to St. Rita's this morning, and it sounds as though I should be able to send out my promotional mailings as scheduled.

Today is the St. Anthony's social, where I have every intention of winning the SUV this year. It's about time. Surely I will see many faces I don't, on the average weekend, get to see. I'm excited that I ran into Steve Jesko last night.
