Long Day

If you get up at 4AM, right now (8:48PM) is late. I'm tired. I get off work at 1:30, go home for 30-40 minutes, then drive downtown to pick up the boys from school. Got home about 4PM, then left at 5:15 for Middle Tennessee State's Reception for Seniors at LP Field. Got home just before 8, then had to pick up Joshua from scouts at 8:30. Long day.

I knew MTSU was a good school, but didn't realize how high their national rankings were. Highest undergrad enrollment in Tennessee. #4 healthiest campus in the country. #47 best educational value for the money in the country. #51 best academics in the country. Very nice reception there at the stadium.

The reception was held in the club level at LP Field. Man, could I enjoy going there for a Titans game! Had a great scenic view of downtown on one side, and a line of concessions and so forth on the other. You could see the luxury suite doors on the upstairs level, and through the hallway was the field. Very nice! And of course, TV's everywhere so you wouldn't miss a minute of the game.

Then at Scouts I find out: I need to set up an Eagle Scout Court of Honor and this Friday night at our camping trip, we're an adult short at the troop campsite so I need to provide one from our pack (probably me). Which means setting up my tent at the pack site, then driving over to the troop site to sleep, then driving back in the morning to my site. Pain in the rear end. But we volunteered to help IF NEEDED so that the troop could go. I was afraid that once we said if we had to we'd do it, that then we'd have to. Pretty automatic.

Ugh. I'm going to bed. 4AM comes awful early.
