Soft touchdowns preferred

Not sure what life has in store for me this weekend, but I’m going to bet against another flood in the house. Joe’s magical mystery tour takes him to stops in Beauregard to cover the high school game with Booker T. Washington, Columbus, Ga., where I will ascend into the heavens and may never return, and after that ... well ... I have no idea. Hopefully this weekend will involve nothing else. I do get the sneaking suspicion I will spend a portion of my weekend right here staring out the window from the Opelika-Auburn News office.

Haven’t covered a game at Beauregard in a while. If the Hornets win, they may be playoff bound.

Saturday morning I’ve got to take a little airplane ride with my son at Columbus Regional Airport. He signed up for some flying program, so I’ll be the good dad and do my dad thing. I hope the plane doesn’t crash or anything because I’d like to watch college football later that day. I haven’t flown in a small airplane since I was a kid. Can’t say I’m looking forward to the experience. I hope Joseph doesn’t touch any of the controls. Let’s just say I’ll be happy when I’m back on the ground ... consciously walking is preferred. If those crazy Wright Brothers weren’t so smart, I wouldn’t have to be doing this.
