1. the weather: It is still 68 degrees out. Last week at this time it was snowing.

2. sports: The Sugar Bowl is tonight at 8 p.m. EST. Go Hokies!

3. work: Remember that Efficient Marine Terminal (EMT) Demostration project I entered in the American Council of Engineering Companies of Virginia (ACEC/VA) 2005 Engineering Excellence Awards? It won! I will be spending the next few days preparing the entry for the national ACEC 2005 EEA competition. I get to have another 30″ x 30″ photographic panel printed up and create a binder full of well-written materials. I know you’re jealous. Wish me luck!

4. boys: Boys? Where?
