Happy Jack Bauer Day!

It's a happy day at the Smith House, because our dear friend Jack Bauer returns tonight after a nearly two year absence.

We are happy that the Cardinals won last night, we are still rooting for Kurt Warner.

Classes start tomorrow so my four-week vacation is almost over. Sure went by quickly. I actually got an email from one of my SIU kids, apologizing to me that he will miss the first day of class because he is deployed in Afghanistan and won't be back in the states until Tuesday. This kid gets an A+ before school even starts! He's already my favorite!

Looking forward to buying your book, Tom, for everyone I know. What's the latest?

Have a good Sunday, everyone! Enjoying those playoffs in HD, Dad? =)
