Sunday, November 11
Yesterday was a college football Saturday. Tennessee handily defeated Arkansas, and now, despite their terrible early start, they have a chance to be the SEC East champions. That is, if they beat Kentucky and Vanderbilt in the weeks ahead.
Other scores of note: Michigan lost to Wisconsin, and Illinois defeated Ohio State, in a grand upset.
I can scarcely believe I've become a football fan, but I have. It's actually quite an interesting game -- and watching the athleticism of some of the players never hurts!
Otherwise we did little else -- except visit Home Depot and finally, finally get my dahlia tubers in storage. I also helped C edit an article for his company newsletter while the runners ran, the kickers kicked, and the announcers talked. Oh, and I finished reading a P.D. James mystery, Innocent Blood. Good book, about an adoptee who learns that her birth mother was a murderess.
So far, retirement has been good. I left another job once, teaching, and I felt a tremendous grief when I did. This time, I expected to feel a similar grief, but I did not. I have not shed a tear, and everyday, I think, "Thank goodness I don't have to make that long drive (33 miles) today!" Exactly what opportunities lie ahead for me remains to be seen. I do miss certain people, but not the job itself.

Yay Tennessee...I'm glad the won! Also glad you're enjoying retirement so far and can't wait to hear more tales from the road you're on!
