My dear friend Chip(perdoodle) is going to the game tonight. Yes. THE game. (Shhhh we won't tell his alma mater, JMU that he bleeds green and gold) I am excited for him, especially because I know he will keep me posted on the score. Because I have to work. From 7:15-11:00.

In honor of Mason's big game today, I thought I'd do a little photoshop-ing. Nothing seemed more fitting than the phrase "and go patriots" because it is a phrase I heard a million times.

I am so curious to see how this all unfolds.

Again...mea culpa for being such a slacker in the bloggage department. For someone who always has quite a bit to say, I find it hard to decide what to write about here.
