Positively Fall-Like
I’m pretty sure that Huntsville broke its previous record low of 54F last night. I saw 51F for Huntsville on The Weather Channel this morning as I caught up with where Hurricane Charley is.
Maybe I’m harping on this too much, but I’m so used to sweating to death in August that this is almost disconcerting. Now, I know I kept getting confused yesterday as to what day it was—I kept thinking that it was Wednesday—but man … it feel like it’s October outside right now. That’s not cool, man … October is Hockey Month, and just because we have cool weather doesn’t mean that there’s a game tonight.
[Can you tell that I'm in hockey withdrawal? I'm going to have to start watching games on ESPN Classic soon.]

Speaking of hockey, Jeremy Schreiber came out to pickup this morning!!
August 13th, 2004 at 08:15I hope Jumbo didn’t put on any more body weight this offseason. He’s already a Mack truck as it is.
How’s he doin’?
August 13th, 2004 at 08:26Geof, does the World Cup pique any interest in you?
August 13th, 2004 at 08:46Some, because those kids will play college hockey soon.
August 13th, 2004 at 08:53Don’t worry about the weather. I’m sure we’ve still got some 95 degree days in store for us during football season. I’ve spent enough Saturdays in that other school’s stadium burning up. Oh yes, it will warm up again considerably.
August 13th, 2004 at 10:04Wimps. 95 degrees?! Geez! That’s a nice, breezy day out here.
As for hockey, Geof, don’t forget we have hockey out here. We might even have a decent team this year, the way it’s shaping up. Just think, if you were out here, you’d get all the hockey games you want…
August 13th, 2004 at 10:30Kat: I don’t want Coyotoes Hockey. I want Bruins Hockey.
August 13th, 2004 at 11:30Speaking of weather (I’ve been doing it all day…why stop now) our whole summer this year has been like this:
“I’m used to sweating to death…”
What we’re used to never arrived.
August 13th, 2004 at 12:12What happens if it is October and well, there is no NHL hockey? That’s when it really starts to suck.
August 13th, 2004 at 18:51Geof- but the fact is, we can drive into town if the Bruins do come in. And didn’t we get one of the Bruin’s enforcers in a trade this summer?
August 13th, 2004 at 20:10Matt: I’m more rabid about NCAA hockey than I am about the NHL. This would change if I moved to Boston, I’m sure.
Sean: Just becuase you picked up Sean O’Donnell doesn’t mean I’m going to go ga-ga and wear one of those fugly jerseys. I used to scream at Odie at times, actually. [He knows more hockey than I'll ever know, but hey.]
