Just a few things to cover......
Numero Uno - Coach Fran's gotta go. I've HAD IT. Die hard Aggies can only watch so many agonizing and painful losses and take only so many brutal and demeaning (yet still funny) "Aggie" jokes before it's time to make a change. We are all on our 5th year of this never-ending rollercoaster regarding a football program that is - well - pathetic. We pride ourselves in all we do and football should be no different - it's time to make a change. I was on the Fran-tastic bandwagon as much as anyone else when we came over but that train is long gone and I don't see any sort of recovery in sight until SOMETHING CHANGES. Take a look at this article - it's pretty good. My vote is for Tommy Tuberville...War Eagle and all that jazz. But just in case that does happen, I will confide in you now that there was a time when Coach Tuberville would spot me in a public place in Auburn and flash those Texas Longhorn fingers at me as a playful jabb.... We'll need to make sure he "bleeds maroon" before he moves on over to be an Aggie. Wishful thinking - I know.

I made my first trip to this beautiful country earlier this week and although I was only there about 72 hours, I got to see how beautiful it is and how much fun it could be......if I had the time to go have fun! Our ESG headquarter office is in Mississauga, ON - about 20 minutes from Toronto. It was beautiful and really cold - 23 degrees when I left and little flurries were falling for their first snow of the year. Pretty "cool" - hopefully I'll get to go back and see the city. Here are a couple of terrible pictures - like I said, didn't have much time for anything, not even pictures!
ESG headquarters - Mississauga, Ontario
That's all our buildings in the background - we're bigtime in Canada!
Night-sky as I'm leaving the office.....crazy cold and beautiful
Picture from my hotel room - that's Toronto WAY in the background
3rd and last on my list of things - the puppies are doing GREAT. They are crazy as ever - I think Dexter is making up for lost time. He's a mess right now - Maddie seems to be the calm one for once. They are both eating lots and growing very fast - cute as ever.

Super cute

Maddie pouncing on Dexter - normal
Proud Daddy
Possessed Dogs - wish the flash would have worked AND their eyes weren't so freaky - still a good pic to see how much they've grown
