Alarm, airport, football (all before 9 a.m.)

Here’s what a member of the sporting press accomplished on a lovely morning in July …

5:15 a.m./ In a revolting development, alarm goes off

6:00 a.m./ Load wife, sister-in-law, mother-in-law and baggage in the car

6:30 a.m./ Deliver them to airport for flight to Phoenix and connector to Tucson to visit brother-in-law

6:40 a.m./ Bump into Mahtomedi football coach and nice guy Dave Muetzel, who’s flying off on vacation with his family

7:00 a.m./ In day’s second revolting development, dine on drive-through breakfast

7:30 a.m./ Arrive at a metro high school to observe summer football workout; chat with coaches, watch drills, enjoy the scene

8:45 a.m./ Arrive back home; walk the dog, hit the blog, begin formulation of nap strategy

Have a great day!

Sounds like a nice relaxing day so far John! Much better than covering the MSHSL appeals process or a meeting from you know where!!!
