Don: I am not a big fan of football and an not an alumni of any college so I don’t always get it. You know, the “my school is better than your school and our sport team is gonna kick your sport team’s butt” kind of it.  I did get a small taste of it this weekend though.

It was Homecoming at UF on Saturday. Friday they had the Gator Growl. Saturday they had the game and won by a field goal near the end. I don’t remember the exact score but I was told both teams were in the 20’s. Sounds like it would have been an exciting game, if you like that type of thing.

Today Karen’s parents came in and we all watched Karen eat. She may be starting to lose her appetite a little but she still ate pretty good. She is sleeping a little more during the day but who wouldn’t? Put me in the bed when I don’t feel good and I just want to sleep until it feels better.

After lunch I took about a 3 hour walk all around the UF campus. It is huge! You can’t help be at least a little impressed. You might even go so far as to be a little jealous of all the students who are going to school and preparing for their future. Let’s all hope they take full advantage of their time here for more than social engagement and watching sports. Looking at all the Halls and the map I found at the official gateway to the university, you are led to believe that they have anything you want to earn your degree in! Best of luck to all the students. They may be researching all types of illness and finding cures or better treatments.
