Happy Fall!

I can't believe it is October already!! In the financial world, we are pretty happy see September 2008 go...the Bank continues to be very strong (the Bank is very well capitalized, and we were not a part of the subprime lending mess), but no one is left untouched with 1200 pt swings in the market.  Yuck.  I see that the "bailout" passed the Senate tonight...although I am guessing the market will react positively, who knows what this all really means.  The bottom line (in my humble opinion) is that we - the collective tax payers - will be paying for this mess one way or another whether controlled or uncontrolled. 

Anyway, I am looking forward to a great weekend.  It is Homecoming Weekend at CU and my good friend (and college roommate), Steph, will be in town for the festivities.  I am going to march with the alumni band on Saturday during the game so I am looking forward to seeing old friends.  Although my back will disagree, I am excited to march again and carry a bass drum (I think I'll even get to march my "old" drum....3rd bass). 

Sofia will go to her very first tailgate this weekend!! She isn't going to the game (being 13 days old on Saturday and all), but you have to start them young in tailgating! I'll actually miss the tailgate with all the band stuff, and it will be a big one with some UT friends joining in the fun. 

CU plays Texas....To our TX cousins that bleed burnt-crusty-kind of yellow-but a bit brown-orange...HERE COMES RALPHIE!! :) GO BUFFS!! I know the Aggie-faithful TX cousins of ours agree!! :)
