Are you guys having a killer time?

Random musings from a random day:

I'm not exactly sure how to read this, but in perhaps my favorite Optimist typo of the year, I discovered that Jesus was either consulted about ACU's head football coaching vacancy or was actually considered for the position.

“We wanted to seek someone who had a clear understanding of what an ACU education and what an ACU student athlete experience should be like,” Mosley said. “It was very obvious to Dr. McCaleb and me and the rest of the search committee that got to visit with Christ that he brings a great love and passion for the university and what we stand for.”

Well, I guess if anyone knows what this university stands for, it's Jesus. All I can say is I hope he takes the job. Surely he could breathe some life into that offense. Although I don't know how well it would go over with rival coaches when Jesus begins changing the other team's water to wine and healing seriously injured players on the sidelines. His halftime speeches would be something to behold I'm sure.

I'm not sure what to think of this either, but earlier I began to seriously doubt my ability to stay informed and connected to society when I had to find out that my hometown preacher would be retiring at the end of February from my girlfriend Elizabeth, who is in Oxford, England. Maybe it is just a testament to the ability of news to travel through today's technology. Or maybe it's further proof of where I stand in the Shiloh/Tyler grapevine when someone six time zones away hears news before someone less than five hours away.

I was preparing to leave the Optimist office tonight, and I was feeling pretty good about our status. I actually had a front page designed and mostly prepared. We knew what we were going to do for most of our wild art pictures. I knew the status of all but one story we were planning to run. We were still waiting for features pictures to come in, but I've grown accustomed to that. Yes indeed, I left the office thinking that I had never left on a Monday or Wednesday night (on time at 11:30 mind you) in better shape. Then I realized I had locked my only set of keys in my office.

I'm quite certain I had more to write about, but I'm concerned that I just became very confused by the shadow of my desk lamp on the wall. I'm going to take that as a sign. Here's to one random day.

  • Jesus runs a wishbone, triple-option attack that is very similar to Fisher DeBerry at Air Force. Just a little scouting report.

  • Don't be so sad about me finding out Shiloh/Tyler news before you. You know I've always been secretly jealous of your amazing ability to stay out of the grapevine while I somehow always find myself right in the middle of it.
