Thumbs Down on Stevie B's

Ceil didn’t want to the Johnson Ferry thing, and several from the small group weren’t going, so we skipped. Will’s game was at 2 pm, then the team party was way up in Woodstock at Stevie B’s pizza…Anna and Matthew came along, while Ceil went home to work on costumes. I am a sucker for Ci Ci’s Pizza, but Stevie B’s was awful…most of the time there was no cheese or pepperoni for the kids…only sausage. They had plenty of other kinds…BBQ, baked potato pizza (with sour cream), spinach (without much spinach), etc. Matthew liked the s’mores dessert pizza, and the soft serve ice cream looked scary as well.

We listened to the end of the Tech game on the way home…hopefully Ball can heal some. I’m not sure, but I bet winning at NC State will be no easy thing. Vick looks great when he comes to play. My reunion was pretty fun Friday night at Tech…many old friends I hadn’t seen in a while.

Sunday after NP Will and I drove up to the Dawsonville outlets. On the way up the Browns Bridge parking lot looked full. On the way back cars were stretched back as far as you could see trying to cross/enter 400. Will tried out for a travel team yesterday at Mt. Paran…a team that had been playing at Sandy Plains. Will said he didn’t feel good, but he fielded and threw as well (or better) than anyone…at shortstop. He didn’t hit…only a few more marginal boys hit. The coach, who administrates at the MP fields, said Will could play on the team. We’ll have to decide…last night the Shaw Park Cooperstown coach called as well.

We may go up to Clemson Friday evening…that would mean we would miss small group.

A college friend’s son is a Marine air-traffic controller in SD, and has saved over $20,000 the last couple of years. He’s not yet 25.

Will’s 12 year old cousin in SC had a hole in one last Sunday. I told Will that’s a lot more common than having an unassisted triple play, no-hitter, and walk-off home run in the same season.

Richt is getting flack in a rebuilding year…inexperience at QB, WRs with the drops, and injured RBs and kicker. Take away a fumble and they take Florida to OT. The GT/UGA game should be close…unfortunately.

Seems like every time I turn on Sports South the Thrashers are on, and it's the last few minutes of a close game, so I watch. Ceil has taken notice of my new viewing habits.Rome Braves Francoeur bobbleheads…there's not much likeness, so don't get your hopes up. We were so unimpressed that we didn't go back for the McCann bobbleheads, even though he is Matthew's favorite.
