UGA signed the #1 QB in the nation. Still has to play his senior season of high school. Smart to commit early in case he gets hurt. Sure the kid could change his mind. He turned down the most money to sign with the Dawgs. He is from Tennessee, so runner-up Oregon would have been a long way from home. I like how he didn't wear jersey number one, like so many prima donna QB's these days. He wears #2. Must be a fan of Shedeur. If this Jason kid is any good, I'll be posting plenty of pictures of him in the future.
Anna & Caleb went to the Braves Reds game last night. A good game. This weekend they took Goose out swimming in the Chattahoochee.
Monday: I worked until 6 then drove home and cut the grass with the battery powered mower that my neighbor gave me. Not very powerful. Doesn't suck up the prickly gumballs and pinecones. Not good. Was almost dark when I finished. Supper was BBQ chicken, mashed potatoes, black eyed peas, baked okra, and tossed salad. Too much for one plate. Didn't sit down until after 830.
Up early to lift weights at the gym this AM. Ceil has her art class tonight, so finally a night to relax (or did I? Tune in tomorrow).
Did I mention that on Sunday night I didn't wake up once, until my alarm went off? Probably didn't drink enough during the day.
Denison: a task force at Harvard found antisemitism has "infiltrated coursework, social life, the hiring of faculty, and the worldview of academic programs. Jewish students "were insulted, shunned, harassed, and hounded in a hundred different ways." An Iranian terror attack in England was thwarted with just hours to spare. A synagogue was the probable target.
In Canada, a government-funded activist organization launches a campaign to blacklist Bible believing churches.
