A Friday without football ...

... is flat-out odd! I can't remember a football Friday night since 1999 that I haven't spent at a game. The reality struck me looking at the Dallas Morning News Web site tonight and seeing live updates of games around the area (my lady and I are with friends in Fort Worth). Can't say I mind a vacation, but this is just about the most unfortunate reason to take one.

We've been watching Channel 11's coverage all day (DirecTV is carrying it full-time on Channel 361), and while it's good to get the local perspective I wish there was something to tear us away. There sort of is - we're heading to a local bar here in a bit - but there's a little part of me that wishes I knew exactly what was happening back home.

I live right on the League City/Friendswood border and am hoping the damage to our house is nothing more than shingles blown the roof and maybe some debris around the yard. Hopefully most of our coverage area in the western and northern portions of the metro are fine.

Wherever you're reading this, stay safe. That's the most important thing right now.
