And a hectic day, at that. We wrapped it up with broadcast writing. I showed the 4,353 slide of the semester and asked the class to write the 129 story of the semester. That&#8217;s good for them, the writing part. I have to grade them all, which will be the next two weeks of life, I&#8217;m sure. <\/p>\n<p>Visited the library today. Had two nice phone calls and then some recruiting calls and did a little bit of the grading and so on. Managed to have both lunch <em>and<\/em> dinner, which is sometimes a special trick. I&#8217;ll probably be up until the wee hours.  <\/p>\n<p>Also, two of our Christmas trees are now decorated. One is the large, fresh cut traditional variety. We display two miniature trees, too. One of them is purely a joke, the Auburn tree:<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/photo\/dec13\/dec01.jpg\" alt=\"Aubie tree\" \/><\/center><\/p>\n<p>It features lights and helmets and the Aubie. My grandmother, who has a way with arts and crafts, made the tree. I found the helmets years ago at a going out of business sale. A former co-worker gave me the Aubie, years ago, too. <\/p>\n<p>The whole thing sits on top of the book case full of Glomeratas. It is also covered in Santas, so we have the Christmas spirit. <\/p>\n<p><strong>These are the Sunday editions<\/strong> of the newspapers from across the state, full of Auburn material. You can click any of the images to go to each paper&#8217;s respective site. The Birmingham News, Huntsville Times and Press-Register look the same on purpose. I assume the Montgomery Advertiser didn&#8217;t know what AMG was running when they did their own layout. <\/p>\n<p>It seems Kick, Bama, Kick, is going to be the name that sticks, so the O-A News has a nice headline. The Tuscaloosa paper touches on a topic important to much of the state right now.<br \/>\n<TABLE><TR><TD><a TARGET=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.dothaneagle.com\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/photo\/dec13\/AL_DE.jpg\" alt=\"DothanEagle\" \/><\/a><\/TD><br \/>\n<TD><a TARGET=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oanow.com\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/photo\/dec13\/AL_OAN.jpg\" alt=\"OpelikaAuburnNews\" \/><\/a><\/TD><\/TR><\/p>\n<p><TR><TD><a TARGET=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.al.com\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/photo\/dec13\/AL_BN.jpg\" alt=\"BirminghamNews\" \/><\/a><\/TD><TD><a TARGET=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.al.com\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/photo\/dec13\/AL_HT.jpg\" alt=\"HuntsvilleTimes\" \/><\/a><\/TD><\/TR><\/p>\n<p><TR><TD><a TARGET=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.al.com\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/photo\/dec13\/AL_MR.jpg\" alt=\"PressRegister\" \/><\/a><\/TD><br \/>\n<TD><a TARGET=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gadsdentimes.com\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/photo\/dec13\/AL_GT.jpg\" alt=\"GadsdenTimes\" \/><\/a><\/TD><\/TR><\/p>\n<p><TR><TD><a TARGET=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.timesdaily.com\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/photo\/dec13\/AL_TN.jpg\" alt=\"TuscaloosaNews\" \/><\/a><\/TD><br \/>\n<TD><a TARGET=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.montgomeryadvertiser.com\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/photo\/dec13\/AL_MA.jpg\" alt=\"MontgomeryAdvertiser\" \/><\/a><\/TD><\/TR><\/p>\n<p><TR><TD><a TARGET=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.timesdaily.com\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/photo\/dec13\/AL_TD.jpg\" alt=\"TimesDaily\" \/><\/a><\/TD><br \/>\n<TD><a TARGET=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.decaturdaily.com\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/photo\/dec13\/AL_DD.jpg\" alt=\"DecaturDaily\" \/><\/a><\/TD><\/TR><\/TABLE><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It was the last day of class for me.
