A little editorial

I want to spend just a couple of minutes to talk about a truly historical moment in our household. On 11/29/08  the Georgia Institute of Technology broker a seven year streak of misery by finally beating the University of Georgia in varsity football.

To say this was a gratifying day for me would be like saying Mt. Everest is a big rock. I am sure most Dawgs reading this are probably looking for a long, drawn out post about how Tech is so good and UGA is so bad. But to be honest, I was more relieved than anything. Now I don't have to hear Dawg fans at work, church, and even in my own house. 

Perhaps the most surprising thing for me as that afternoon transgressed was the final score. Never in a million years would I have imagined that we would have put 45 in Sanford Stadium in the pouring down rain. But give credit where its due.....and it goes to the players and Paul Johnson. Its pretty much a given that I have a man crush on Paul Johnson right now. The man is like a breath of fresh air for this program. To end the season with impressive wins against Miami and UGA will really energize this fan base.

Now the Jackets look forward to hosting the LSU Bayou Bengal Tigers on New Year's Eve. I am truly looking forward to the game and look even more forward to being 3 and 0 against the much vaunted SEC.

Hollis's Baptism

The big event around the Thompson house was Hollis getting baptized this past Sunday. The event was a success with Hollis doing great for the ceremony and the pictures beforehand (which is actually the most important part so I am told). We would like to thank all of the Mullens and Thompsons who made the trip to Peachtree Presbyterian for the service. Also big ups go our friends who were cool enough to make it.

After the service, Audra cooked a BBQ lunch for everybody that made the trip. Nothing like celebrating the holy sacrament of baptism by stuffing your face full of pork and red velvet cake.

Team Thompson in their Sunday best. Papa Thompson is looking especially chubby in his suit. Looks like he needs to hit the treadmill pretty soon.
