As the Kicker Kicks

 
Falcons: poor old Matt Bryant just couldn’t get his mojo back. After being released after last season he figured he was retired, and didn’t pursue opportunities with other teams (I guess). Out of practice when the Falcons needed him this fall, he wasn’t the same and got released again. Sad soap opera – Days of our Kickers? 

Looking forward to watching Bryant’s replacement Younghoe Koo, who’d been a Lou Groza Award finalist at Georgia Southern. Koo also kicked for the now defunct Atlanta Legends and San Diego Chargers. Earlier this month Koo was signed to the New England Patriots practice squad. Koo went to high school in New Jersey where he was team MVP with six interceptions, and is the fourth Korean-born player in NFL history. Hines Ward was also born in Korea.    

Fun to build a whole plate of Mexican food from the plate up. Start with lettuce or chips and go from there. I use enough tortilla shells to make my quesadillas. Willys catered last Friday’s sales meeting. Lettuce. Black beans. Meat. Queso. Pico. Cheese. I skipped the chips and soft taco shells.  
 
Same old Atlanta United. Fire the coach.
 
Wednesday: left work at 530. Traffic backed up on Spaulding so I checked my GPS. Gridlock in Peachtree Corners headed toward East Roswell. Ceil wanted me to pick up pizza. I told her I wouldn’t get to the pizza place for an hour, that she should get it herself. Traffic so bad I had to backtrack east on Holcomb Bridge, south on Ptree Industrial, west on Winters Chapel then thru Dunwoody to Spaulding over to Roberts. Slow there across 400 over to Roswell Road. Across the river up the hill to the Roswell Square. Passed the pizza place but continued home. Got home and both C and A were gone – they had decided to eat at the pizza place. Would’ve been nice to know.  
 
Thursday’s drive home wasn’t as bad. Hope to leave at 430 pm. When I run for President my platform will be to move Halloween to the last Saturday in October.
 
Supper was a slice of pizza (okay two), Anna’s choco-chip pumpkin bread, and potato salad. Chicago Med. New Amsterdam. Speechless. That church choir show: “Perfect Harmony.” Then some World Series, but went to bed after the Nats went ahead.
 
104 days til pitchers & catchers report. Nats are World Champs. Phillies getting a new better manager. Mets will be improved. But don’t believe the “experts” – the 2020 NL East Division champs will be the Atlanta Braves.
 
Anna attended a wedding Saturday evening at the Decatur courthouse.
 Just unveiled: the Atlanta Hawks 2019-2020 alternate "City" uniforms.
For the 2020 season the Macon Bacon are installing Big Ass Ceiling Fans at Luther Williams Field. That's the name of the company that makes the fans. We have some in our plant in Norcross. 
Just didn't fall in love with these brown leather Tretorns.
Wasn't sure I wanted to sell them,
so I put the on eBay at a higher then normal price.
They sold.
 Won the 49ers helmet when, back in the early 90's?
Sold it for $50.00.
