In the early morning rain with a dollar in my hand
With an aching in my heart and a pocket full of sand
I’m a long way from home and I miss my loved one so
In the early morning rain with no place to go

Not quite sure why Gordon Lightfoot’s lyrics come to mind on this misty morn. Maybe it has something to do with travel plans for tonight and the thought that I will be heading into the path of Ophelia.

Or maybe it’s just laziness. When I quote a songwriter/poet like Lightfoot I don’t have to write much.

This was the scene far too often Friday night. Our team chasing a Patrick County runner as the FCHS Buffaloes lost their homecoming game 19-7, leaving the team with a 0-3 record. Patrick County dominated the game far more than the score indicated. The Buffs only score came from an interception by the defense and a fumble recovery stopped the Cougars just when they were about to score again. This could be a long year.
