chase barn been cratic here with you on this Wednesday afternoon.

We are a week and a day away from Christmas. It's sneaking up on both of us as we are

finishing up a little last minute shopping, finishing up some other plans and different

occasions ready to go here for the Christmas break.

I'll miss three days away from a college football playoff game against Tulane.

Ben over there telling me he's going to be antisocial this weekend as he comes up for

the rebels in the wave here on Saturday.

hit me that it's, you know, I got a week, a week before Christmas and I still have not finished what I need to get done.
