Wow, for some reason, the number 2007 looks so futuristic today! My teachers in elementary school had me living in a space station and measuring everything with a meter by now. But, we’re not riding around in spaceships and eating flavored squares here in the South, just yet. However, some things have changed - THE SAINTS WON THEIR DIVISION AND GO INTO THE PLAYOFFS WITH A BYE WEEK! Now, there is a future I can relate to - or, as my teachers would prefer, a future to which I can relate. I think I predicted the Saints would be 2-9 by the time they played the 49er’s. Never mind the recriminations - are you ready for some MORE football?! Right now, I can’t even predict what could happen. I’m just grateful that this team and New Orleans rose to the occasion and has made it the best story in sports this year.

Oh, did you see how Boise State beat Oklahoma and Ian Johnson ran in the winning points then asked his girlfriend, a cheerleader, to marry him? Uh fellas, forget ever trying to be romantic again, or come up with the best proposal - we’re screwed!

Well, I don’t feel terribly different as 2007 starts, but I think I will when it’s done. Life should be slightly mysterious, don’t ya think? Even if it’s not supposed to be, mine sure is a mystery to me. I think I’m close to something that might be wonderful; of course, I could be on a raised highway that rolls right past what I thought was the exit. Still, the next turn is right ahead. What, you prefer a sports analogy?...... I was expecting the fast ball and got the curve.... Whatever...Come along with me, and let’s see what happens.

I hope you had a great holiday season. Now, it’s football and spring fever. 3rd down and 4 meters to go!

Enjoy the New Year,

Kirk
