The Vikings.  Tavaris Jackson looked improved, just as the pre-season hype has it.  The first string defense failed to impress, though Jaren Allen showed his quickness.  Pat Williams did not play tonight, so that made the run defense a lot weaker.  Berrian, Wade and Rice showed some promise as receivers and Maurice Hicks as a running back.  It’s true.  I can’t hide it.  I enjoy watching football.  There, I said it.

Talked to Kate.  She had Gabe and he cooed over the phone.  Ruthie was asleep.  Humphrey, as Ruth calls her, had a lump, had it biopsied and it came back cancerous.  That meant oncologists and surgeons today, so Kate got to watch Gabe and Ruth while the daycare lady went to the hospital.  Kate was ready.
