trying to get warm

fall decor

now is the time for pictures with all the fall decor. there is still a little time before the leaves will turn for a radiant hillside full of color. but as for pumpkins, mums and hay bails there is no better time like the present. as you drive through townsend there are plenty of spots for photo ops. you might even recognize this spot. this is my favorite so far. get out there and enjoy the weather.

fall

i'm starting to see the changes in color of the leaves and the crisp, cool air finally feels like fall. yesterday, grant and i had a soccer game at 10am and it was cold! i can't wait til the entire mountainside is a blanket of yellows, oranges and reds.

kevin went down the river with kermit today on a ganoe. no that wasn't a type-o. for those of you who don't know...which included myself til just a few days ago. there is a boat called a ganoe. he left at about 11am for a 3 hour trip which has turned into 8 and has still not made it home. its cold out there, i sure hope they stay warm.

anyhow, just wanted to check in. i've been slacking on my blogs lately.

this evening we played disc golf with some friends at mills park in gatlinburg. for those of you who've never heard of disc golf, i'll explain. discs are a lot like frisbees. the main differences, as far as i can tell, are the weight, size, and lip on all the different types of discs: drivers, mid-range, putters, etc. in this sense they are much like having a bag of golf clubs. i personally use a shark. i don't know what tyoe of disc that is, but that is the only one that i can throw decently. i am not able to adjust to the different types of discs for different types of throws. anyhow, our friend patrick threw a hole-in-one on the 4th hole. it was amazing! the disc disappeared behind some trees and emerged out of nowhere and straight into the basket. CHING! oh right, so i forgot to explain thats the point of the game, to throw the disc into these baskets. there are typically 9 holes like golf.

speaking of which, we also played mini golf last night with these friends and she got a hole-in-one on the 16th hole, which was unbelievable. on this particular hole, you couldn't see the hole from the tee. and the best part of it was that it was glow in the dark. however, it seemed kinda shady. when we finally thought we had got through the course without some scary clown showing up, one did when we were on the last hole.

it's been an eventful weekend already. my nephew had a soccer game this morning that he dominated. he impressed me with his dribbling, shooting and most of all his passing. i'm lovin it.

"i got it"

as i was driving home after work enjoying the scenery, i came upon a car with a mattress on top. as i drove past i noticed that the driver had his arm out the window holding the mattress which immediately made me think of jerry seinfeld's stand-up in new york.



start watching at 5:48 unless you particularly like his comedy and you can watch the whole clip. i never have my camera when i need it!
