KT,

Glad to see you back on. The wife has gone to sleep for the night because she has to work early in the morning, so I am sitting here checking the board.

I am just getting into the swing of hunting season after limiting out on doves on September 1 & 2. So far, the season has been somewhat decent for me. I hunted deer for two days the week after Thanksgiving and killed two does. I went goose hunting the week before Thanksgiving and killed a single goose. If I were to tell you the story of that day, or if I had it on video tape, you would be laughing. Suffice it to say that my dad and I should have gotten our 10 bird limit that day if it wasn't for the dog and some sloppy hunting on our part. I went dove hunting on Friday and killed a single bird, but that hunt was mostly to scout out some geese. Went goose hunting this morning and we killed 3 out of the first group. Again, we should have had our 10 bird limit, but the dog hasn't grasped the concept of hunting out of a Mutt Hutt blind yet. On a couple of occassions, he launched himself out of the blind like a missile before we even started shooting. That was okay on the first group because they were in range. However, it was a problem on the second group because they were locked up and at about 80 yards when he launched himself. After correcting that problem, I had to deal with him sticking his head out of the blind and looking around while the birds were coming in. I had 4 groups that locked up and flared after seeing the dog's head. All in all, it was a successful hunt because Nitro learned a ton today. On the last couple of groups, some of which only gave us a slight look because there were about one thousand birds in the field beside ours, Nitro stayed in the blind, albeit under severe protest (i.e., he was whining like crazy). The poor dog was shaking with excitement throughout the entire hunt.

As far as the Skins are concerned, I say go Skins too. However, I have no idea if they can even make the playoffs at this point. Is Lincoln Financial Field the name of the Eagles' new stadium? If so, you could possibly die there.
