A hot, humid day in Tuscaloosa Alabama. Kristy and I had gone to Bid Day to be with Brinkley. It was fun and Brinkley got the sorority she wanted. Kristy and I were a bit amazed at the hoopla surrounding this event. Police were out, streets were closed, bids were given out in the stadium! It was a busy day and as we were leaving we had a flat tire, couldn't get it fixed and had to trade cars with Brink. It was really late when we finally headed back to Atlanta. Dreading having to go to school the next day and teach, I jokingly mentioned to Kristy that maybe we would have a bomb threat tomorrow........
