UTK

My family has multiple connections to the University of Tennessee at Knoxville, including alumni/graduates and office workers (I did my time there but didn't graduate). Factoid of the moment: tonight's NBC SNF game starring UTK grad/player Peyton Manning playing QB for Colts vs. Jerod Mayo playing LB for Patriots. Later this week, the U.S. space shuttle launch will put UTK grads in space, including Pilot Barry E. 'Butch' Wilmore (with a nod to his TTU degrees) and Spacewalker Randolph J. Bresnik. A shoutout to Mission specialist Leland D. Melvin for his brief NFL career cut short in training camp.

It's a small world, isn't it? We're one big team - I won't let you forget it, will I? ;^)
