Dan Brown
I finally finished all four of Dan Brown's books: Angels and Demons, The Da Vinci Code, Deception Point, and Digital Fortress. While Code remains my favorite, Digital Fortress is a very close second. There are three people that I can think of that would really appreciate this novel: Dad, Jimmy, and Al. Pick it up, I know you'll enjoy it. Mike

NFL
We had great seats at the game the other night, but I couldn't help but notice one thing: the players have shrunk! I might have to suit up next year...

Alabama Starts 1-0
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) -John Parker Wilson's stock is on the rise with Alabama coach Mike Shula. The sophomore threw for 253 yards and a touchdown in his first collegiate start Saturday as Alabama got a late defensive stand to hold off Hawaii 25-17.
Leigh Tiffin added three field goals for the Crimson Tide, which had two apparent touchdowns overturned on replay challenges by Hawaii. Wilson started slowly, completing only four of 10 passes for 80 yards in the first half. Looking more comfortable after halftime, he was 12-of-19 attempts for 173 yards and a 35-yard touchdown pass to Keith Brown.
Shula, himself a former Alabama quarterback, liked what he saw. "I think the way (Wilson) played today gives us some confidence to throw it more," said Shula.
