It's almost football season!

American football that is, as soccer has been playing for ages silly! - especially my favorite, college football! While I get ready to watch my silly ESPN Gametracker on Saturday for the OSU game (go red line go!), I'd thought I'd share this Top 25 game preview, courtesy of ESPN:

No. 16 Rutger (0-0) vs. Buffalo (0-0)
Piscataway, NJ7:00 PM ETCan Rutgers build off last year's Cinderella season? The Scarlet Knights have a great chance to get off on the right foot facing perennial doormat Buffalo.

Aww .... poor Buffalo. Being a MAC-school based girl (Go Miami!), I should be feel sorry for them. Instead I giggled. Oh well ...

Duffman loves the racecourse - Oh yeah!

Since it was so nice and warm out today (we've been suffering with autumnal weather, chilly!) - we decided to go to the York Racecourse and the Ebor Races. Lucky for us it is two minutes to our house. We got a bit dressed up, since it was Ladies Day, and headed to track.

I don't think I've ever been so lucky - I won £47.90 on two horses, Duff and Want to be Posh! I pick horses on two things: 1. jockey jersey color and 2. horse names. Duff was picked because of Duffman from the Simpson (which gave me the greatest return 33/1 shot and he won!) and Want to be Posh because, well ... who doesn't and her jockey was smartly dressed!

New Photos

Pics from my Yorkshire jaunt in July (with Katie and her parents) have been posted on Flickr. Apparently all my Yahoo! photos have been moved there as well. Enjoy ... we certainly travelled a lot (810 miles - thank you Enterprise and sorry about the hubcap!).

This photo was from our day out at Brimham Rocks. I was feeling particularly Elizabeth Bennett-y ... and the answer to the next question from 2S and Leslie, yes, Katie and I were careful not to fall so we could face our fathers!

Start practicing your bows ...

I have a title ... Lady of Glencairn. It was purchased for me by Katie for my birthday. I think I'll head off to my retreat in the Highland later this summer!
