Good Saturday morning!

Some sleepy random thoughts, as I do laundry, wander through the Internet, and get ready to join 68,500 other goofballs at Spartan Stadium in saying "Go Green". (Stadium holds 70,000, but we have to allow room for the Chippewas in attendance.)

Comments didn't want to come up first thing this morning. Losing comments is about as bad as losing posts. (Of course, free is free and I really shouldn't complain *smile*.) I love comments, both here and when visiting other bloggers. Glad they came back up. Commenting can be kind of tricky, though, don't you think? I mean, how long should you read a blog before you comment? How often should the blog-owner jump back in on comments? How long should a comment be? Does a repeat reader have any obligation to comment or introduce themselves? How often should you comment? If you have a counter-thought to a post, should you comment or should you blog it on your own blog? Actually, some of these questions were brought up again when I was reading the comments at meg's and followed a comment to Riri's post on comments and introducing oneself.

Gotta see if Susan has opened the SMM. . . . Now she's up!

Saw Cellular last night, with Kim Basinger and a gorgeous young lad named Chris Evans. He put me in mind of a young Kevin Costner. **drool** The movie had received mediocre ratings by our local paper, but it was a real nice antidote to a stressful weekend. Suspense, but with some very engaging humour. Oh, and William H. Macy is in it. He is such a great actor.

Cassie-B has a good-looking recipe for Crockpot Marmalade Chicken. oh yum.

Whee! Now I'm awake! They're playing the Michigan State University fight song on the radio. Game days are a real trip around here. Let's hit it. Go Green! (We have a little quarterback problem this year. Shhhh.)

Attending football games is different than it was three years ago. Little can be brought into the stadium anymore. Bags are limited to 5"x8" now. A cell phone is allowed. Small cameras and binoculars may be brought in, but the cases may not. It is not uncommon for even old ladies like me to be inspected as we enter the turnstiles. But life does go on, altered, but on.

Hope everyone's team does well this weekend! Laundry should be done and I have a noon-time college football game to attend, so . . . see ya later!
