Keith and Steve are Here for the Maryland Game

Keith's plane arrived late this morning - about 1 AM. Steve Simchak's plane arrived Thursday at 5 PM. Both live in the DC Area now.

My son Keith works in Washington for the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. Steve lives in Laurel and he is in charge of the computer help desk for the Federal Aviation Administration.

Keith got his masters at FSU - Steve got his masters at UMD. So when the Terps take the field today - Steve will be wearing his red "Fear the Turtle" outfit and Keith will have on his garnet and gold jersey.

We took the truck over to the stadium last night to mark out our "squatters" area for the tailgate. Today at 10AM - Steve - Keith - Harry - Lulu - George - Joel - Wayne and Shirley - will pile into the Honda Van with our our goodies and make the 2 mile trek to the stadium.

It dropped down to freezing here last night - and the cars at the airport had frost on them at 1 AM - but it is expected to be around 70 at game time.

Tangent - last night Keith and I caught the end of the Hawaii/Nevada game at 2 AM. Hawaii is one of the two last teams that is undefeated. Nancy teaches there in the summers. Just last week I was at the Nevada campus in Reno - they were all excited about the Hawaii game coming up. Nevada went ahead with just 3 minutes remaining - only to lose by a last second Hawaii field goal. I wonder what the BCS is going to do with Hawaii?
