The times they are a changin..................

Happy birthday to my older brother tomorrow; I'm not saying how old he is but it ends with a 9, see if you can figure it out.
Wednesday afternoon we went to Richmond and had a nice dinner at one of our favorite restaurants (Mamma Zu's) in the whole wide world, stayed in a nice hotel, and then moved Jackson into his dorm room on Thursday.
Big goings-ons; Jackson was a little imtimidated by the change, but felt more comfortable after the first team meal and meetings. He will be # 83 this year for Hampden-Sydney and hopes to earn a job as punter. Today (Friday) was the first day of conditioning, so we'll have to see how he feels at the end of the day. He is in pretty good shape going into camp so we hope the heat and conditioning won't be too tough on him.
We are proud and very excited as he opens a new chapter in his life.
The house is very quiet after Hurricane Cooper left....even more so now that Jackson has waved good-bye to Morehead City for a while. We plan to see him often, beginning with orientation next week.

Off to Hershey PA next week and then back to HSC for orientation.

Dueling Banjos No, the odd looking young man did not play the banjo in the movie, here is how the movie-magic people did it: Fake sleeves !!...
