Now that’s more like it

The Hokies have rebounded nicely in their last two games with an easy win over Southern Miss and a complete domination of the team formerly known as #10, Clemson. Wow, what a difference playing well on both sides of the ball makes.

Celebrity Sighting

In writing about the wedding last weekend, I forgot to mention that we saw Sissy Spacek in the hotel right after the rehearsal. We were walking through the lobby when we saw a woman holding alot of bags waiting for an elevator.
