Boo Hoo - Rutgers 19 - Michigan State 14
I think that State is the only Big 10 school that lost today. On the bright side, they have nowhere to go but up.
On the dark side, the Michigan kicker missed two (2) TWO points after touchdown. This will not work next week against Notre Dame.
Just before kickoff at noon, I got a delivery of beautiful flowers - yellow flowers in a blue vase tied with a yellow ribbon. It was from Sue and John, and I was really surprised. It was a very thoughtful thing to do!
At 9 a.m. the driveway sealer people came. Today they're doing McLenithan's, Barker's, ours, and out by the road. It took them pretty much all day - they were finished around 4:30. The man said we would all get a 15% discount if we all did it at once. A pretty good deal, I think. And the driveway looks terrific. They filled the cracks, and edged all the way around.
Dick had a great time at the game with John and Sue and Bill. John and Sue are going to Rochester Hills after the game to stay with Doug and Odette - tomorrow is Odette's birthday.
Dick's been having a sore throat lately, so he didn't do his usual yelling. His throat is still a little sore this evening. He and Sniders went out to a Chinese Buffet. He'll be coming home tomorrow.
Tonight I got pizza at Mancino's and took it into town to have dinner with Mother. We had pizza and salad. She said it was the first time in her life that she had real pizza. She's only had the store bought frozen variety. It was a real treat - she said it was delicious.
In Florida, the kids are really bored with being inside the house not being able to see outside because of the shutters...and just listening to the wind. They have peeked out the front door a couple of times and they report that all the trees on their street are uprooted and down on the ground. So far they don't have any flooding. They still have power (cross your fingers) but 88% of Martin County is without power. In their old neighborhood in Delray Beach, everybody is without power. Boynton Beach is the worst hit, according to their local TV coverage. Laurie's best friend Sallie Nelson has had a tree hit her house- I have no idea of the damage. Dylan says that their garage door is "moaning". Chip held the phone out the front door so I could hear the wind. It really was moaning. They are expecting the eye of the hurricane around 2 a.m. - and that's the calm part so they should be able to get some rest over night. Hurricanes are no fun. Laurie says she's nervously munching M&Ms.
