Checking in from L.A.

Hey everyone. As I discussed in a recent thread, The Tate Family is on vacation in southern California.

(Photo taken approximately 36,000 feet above Arizona.)

Just wanted to make it clear why I was not blogging and providing the swell Auburn information you expect from the HABOTN. I'm planning to do a few Coach Spotlights this week, but I'll be working them around trips to Disneyland, the San Diego Zoo and Sunset Blvd.

Take care.

Norm said...: There it is - New Page Smell...satisfying.; 10:33 AM
Monica said...: smell that smell...; 10:33 AM
Norm said...: Mon - I'd be inclined to think that couples needing therapy would opt for a "neutral" location rather than an in-house visit. But that's just me.; 10:35 AM
wartiger said...: I'm gonna maintain a controlled optimism as far as the upcoming season goes. I was totally sold on The Franklin Experiment and was disappointed to no end after the season. But as far as this coaching staff and their recruiting efforts I am truly ecstatic. They have a swagger and a real confidence about AU and I love it. I wasn't thrilled with the hire of CGC but so far (and this is without one down being played) I have been truly thrilled with the job he is doing. From this coaching staff to the interviews I have seen and read I am drinking the kool-aid baby! And it taste great.; 10:35 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I've always been in need of therapy and always refused to acknowlegdge that fact.; 10:37 AM
Anonymous said...: Monica, I'm with Norm. Too many distractions at home. The counselor's office would be ideal, IMO.; 10:37 AM
AUfan said...: Monica,
1) Wouldn't feel comfortable with a therapist in my home. I would prefer their office.
2) Honestly, it would depend on how many hours that it would take to benefit from the therapy. I know that is almost impossible to say, but a bill of $200 compared to $1500 would be huge for me personally.; 10:38 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I'm the most gullible kool-aid drinker. I'm getting all a-tingle with excitement...again.; 10:38 AM
Anonymous said...: TarHeel, that's the first step!; 10:39 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: ...a first step towards huge disappointment if it's anything like 2008, 2003, 1975; 10:40 AM
Anonymous said...: No, I meant admitting you have a problem!; 10:42 AM
Seanzie said...: Sensi I could write a book on VY and the Titans but I won't. Let's just say I won't lose sleep over him leaving.; 10:43 AM
Aubie said...: Jay,
Have fun in Cali.

And if California slides into the ocean
Like the mystics and statistics say it will
I predict this motel will be standing until I pay my bill; 10:44 AM
Anonymous said...: Monica, or you could just tell your friends to schedule a blog session with the Hotties!; 10:44 AM
Monica said...: Thanks everyone so much for the opinions. Good stuff.

That's a great idea, Luv. Also eliminates the need for malpractice insurance!; 10:47 AM
cincytiger said...: Monica,
I'm with the other hotties - neutral location seems best. And as far as the money, if it saved my marriage I would think it worth any amount of money.; 10:47 AM
Anonymous said...: and it's free!; 10:47 AM
wartiger said...: now Luv has a good idea there Mon..just transcribe any sessions you do and watch the results pour in!; 10:47 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: problem? what problem?; 10:48 AM
Monica said...: LOL those darn confidentiality rules...; 10:48 AM
Jet said...: Anyone with problems know they can turn to Brother Jet.

But, brethren, if you can, give our sister Monica some hep on her project.; 10:49 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: You gotta love Luv's solution. HABOTNRx; 10:51 AM
Anonymous said...: Monica, you don't have to name names.; 10:54 AM
Anonymous said...: Just use "John and Jane Doe"; 10:54 AM
Jet said...: Luv ...

Knowing Monica, if I availed myself of the services, she would say: Mr. and Mrs. Airplane* -- not their real names -- are having problems with ...

Of course, she throws me under the bus at lot easier than others.; 10:56 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: or Mr. Wrong and Mrs. Wright; 10:57 AM
Eddie McCoy said...: I'm jealous of Jay getting the Disneyland trip in. Would love to hear some more detailed comparisons of the two. Only one little correction, there are four theme parks in Orlando, Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom.; 11:03 AM
michael said...: Back in my day, they also had 2 pretty sweet water parks in Orlando. You know, that whole Disney World thing might just work.; 11:12 AM
Jet said...: Disney has 2 awesome water parks -- Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon.

I'm a big fan of water parks. Other stuff? Take it or leave it.; 11:14 AM
Norm said...: Disney World is nothing more than a passing fad, just like color television.; 11:18 AM
Anonymous said...: Eddie..we have gone to both. Orlando is a much better disney experience. San Diego has the Zoo and Seaworld, whic is not as much stuff as central Fla. San Diego has beaches, better climate, better restaurants and less tourist concentration. Fla is closer and costs less.; 11:18 AM
ehyou said...: I've never been to Orlando, much less California....but I have been to Drunk Creek.; 11:40 AM
Unknown said...: Monica, who says people here don't need counseling? I have had counseling and I paid $100 an hour. Besides, have you met michael. Counseling, I am sure we know a lot about counseling.; 11:43 AM
ehyou said...: We are by far the most normal bunch of folks that I've never met.; 11:45 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: ehyou-
be nice...don't go accusing me of being normal; 11:46 AM
Unknown said...: And as for counseling at home or in the office, it really depends? Would I have to put pants on?; 11:46 AM
Eddie McCoy said...: Norm- How dare you.; 11:48 AM
AUfan said...: I know this won't be popular, but Finebaum has an excellent article on Al.com regarding Bobby Lowder. In regards to my question from a few weeks back, he says Lowder told Coach Dye at the bank office it was time for a change. Interestingly, he also states that Lowder met with Coach Tuberville at Lowders' home for breakfast the year before Bowden was fired. If true, that adds an interesting twist to the Jetgate saga.; 11:50 AM
Monica said...: If you leave your pants off the rate will be considerably higher.; 11:52 AM
michael said...: I don't need any counseling. I welcome the voices in my head.; 11:52 AM
Aeronaut said...: Between counseling and full-blown shrink doctors, I prefer the latter. They have the best pills.

Just watch the ads for those pills. You just have to get them. I took the pill where you are supposed to ride a horse on the beach, and I could swear I was on that pointy horse.. unisomething. Next time I'll get me the one where butterflies wake you up in the morning.; 11:54 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: i don't need counseling. i just need to get off my lazy butt.; 11:54 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: i think butterflies are fascinating. I definitely want some of those pills. Horses and I don't mix well.; 11:57 AM
Unknown said...: THT, you sounds like my father, God rest his soul. That was basically his philosophy of life. He would have been a great counselor. He had one solution that would work for everyone. "You just need to kick him in the butt and make him do something". That will be $50. Next.; 11:58 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: i was post 444.
is that some kind of sign?; 11:58 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: SteveFC- saying it vs doing it...that's where there's a disconnect for me.; 12:00 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: apparently, 444 is the sign of the threadkiller; 12:11 PM
ehyou said...: Lando Calrissian - connisseur of fine adult malt beverages.; 12:22 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: new thread and Tracy Rocker is the subject!; 12:24 PM
Aubie said...: ehyou, Drunk Creek!!!
Wow, haven't thought about that place in about a hundred years. Somewhere near Loachapoka if I remember correctly.
By the way, I think I know how it got its name.; 12:25 PM
