WHAT TIME IS IT?


Well, most of you would probably say that it's about 3:45, or early fall, or time for a snack.

But it's not.

It's hammer time.

That's right, it's Homecoming. I have to write this rather quickly, because it's also time for me to go home, change into something durable, pick up Mister Miss Mandel and our small son, and head to the family picnic before the big game. We are playing the Panthers of Bradenton Christian at Twin Lakes Park at 7 p.m., and it promises to be an action-packed night. At the pep rally today Coach Timmons, whom I believe has a touch of the poet in him, pointed out that in just four years we've gone from starting the football program from the very ground up to being a real force to contend with in a district championship.

We are Thunder Nation! And it is Hammer Time! It's also time for me to go - see you at the big game, OK?
