Fall Soccer

Another Great Saturday
Today was another great weekend. It’s always great when there is a BYU home football game and the Cougars win. This morning Nancy and I slept in then went out for a long walk.

My Favorite Saturday
College Football season is finally here again – my favorite time of year. There are few experiences I enjoy more than going to a BYU Football game. Today the Cougars played Arizona from the PAC-10.
