Thursday, 21st: Good morning, good morning, what a lovely day -- no, it's more gorgeous than lovely, I think. It's all foggy and cool and the cats are yelling their heads off to go outside and try to find their way through all the thick gray soup.

We're having our big football pool beginning the 7th of September. Here's how it works: (I'll repeat this a couple more times) I pick 4 games and predict the winners. You will take 3 of my 4 and add your own team if I haven't used it, for a total of four games each week. For example, my first pick for Week #1 will be 49ers over the Cowboys plus three other games. I'll tell you my results, like I got 3 out of 4 or ALL 4 right, or 2 out of 4, whatever. Keep a little notebook and a running total. Each week you can report out how you did and your running status. At the end, the highest win gets a free book (Yes, it has to be one of mine and if there are a whole bunch of ties then I'll have a drawing for the top 3 winners. But this has never happened before.) Since the Thursday night game (Packers/Seahawks) won't be one of my picks, I won't begin until Sunday. However, if you pick the Packers or the Seahawks, then that makes up your 4th pick and you'll use three of mine.) Okay? Was that clear?

More editing today, maybe some running around in Tiburon, who knows what the seals are doing now?
