From The Corner Of My Mind

* It's going to be the hottest week so far this year. Highs in our area around 110-114 projected, with the heat index reaching even higher.
* I was off on Saturday and Sunday. It was a much needed break.
* W-spouse and I had a quiet breakfast together on Saturday and a loud dinner at GoGo Gumbo. We went to Academy in between and purchased cleats, Under Armor and padding for stepson #3.
* 2-a-days begin this morning, and of course, football is once again all the rave at our house. Everything we plan revolves around football games and practices.
* Those kids that have been inside playing video games and watching TV all summer are going to have problems during 2-a-days. We've tried to acclimate our son to the heat somewhat. The coaches need to make sure they stay hydrated.
* The guys on our crew and I have been going through a couple of cases of water a day and 25-30 bottles of Gatorade a day. I can only imagine what it would take to keep a whole football team hydrated.
* W-spouse is back working in surgery this morning. She is going to start working their again a couple of days a week. My guess is that she will be back full time in surgery by the end of August. Being in an office all day is not what she wants to do. She likes the hands on and more challenging job of an OR Circulator.
* Paul Menard won the Brickyard 400 yesterday at Indy. He grew up at that track and his father has sponsored many cars in many races there and finally got his first win. It was great watching him run off from Gordon and cross the line 10 car lengths ahead of him. Gordon stated after the race that he couldn't catch him even if there would have been 2 more laps, unless PM would have ran out of fuel.
* Sirius NASCAR radio is breaking news(unconfirmed) that Carl Edwards is going to Joe Gibbs Racing next year and will probably be driving the #20 car currently driven by Joey Logano. No word on where JL is headed. They are saying it will be announced at Atlanta in a month. Is it chance that Home Depots headquarters is based in Atlanta? The #20 is currently sponsored by Home Depot.
* If the story is true, he (Carl Edwards) all but has shut himself out of the Chase this year. There is now way the team he has now will give him the commitment that it takes to win the Chase.
* This could be a possible scenario: Carl Edwards to Joe Gibbs, Kasey Kahne going to Hendrick, Mark Martin going to Rousch and Joey Lagano going to Red Bull ???? Opinions??
* Kyle Busch has taken a few weeks off from NCWTS and from the NNWS. Could it be that Joe Gibbs told him to concentrate on the Sprint Cup Chase, instead of these other series?
* Our second team of missionaries left yesterday for Nigeria. We saw pictures and heard from the missionaries in Indonesia yesterday morning at church. Please keep these teams in your prayers in the future while they are abroad sharing the word.
* It's time to get out and get my tan on, see ya Around The Corner!
