Thursday's news

They've just announced our new women's basketball coach. Quite a surprise, but a good one. It's to be Jim Foster. He's most recently been at Ohio State, but coached at Vanderbilt for a long time. He's one of the good coaches, so we're pleased. UTC just hired a new AD, and the first things on his plate were to hire new coaches for both teams. So far, so good.

====================================

We did a “day trip” today. Jean’s friend, Jamie, is building a new house in a secluded, rural (horse-permitting) development about 2 1/2 hours from here. It’s a timber-framed house, and the timbers were set yesterday. We couldn’t get there to see that happen, so we drove up today to visit and check out the new house. It’s in a gorgeous setting, and she’s taking good advantage of the views. We took them out to lunch, and then drove back home. The weather was gorgeous, and it made for a fun day. We got home about 5, and just snacked for supper.
