Saturday round-up

Fall is here, which would normally mean cooler temperatures, but today it was an unseasonably warm 75 degrees or so.  Still, the leaves are turning colors and starting to fall from trees.  Here's how much color you can get from trees on just a couple of lots.

Because it was such a nice day, we went out to a local state park, Lake McBride.  My baby son got to pet a dog for the first time (from the safety of mom's arms).  Here's the view from one of the trails, looking out at the lake:

Meanwhile, I watched the finale of "The Law Firm."  Yes, you had probably forgotten about that show, if you ever knew about it.  But TiVo doesn't forget.  So I am here to give you the results if you absolutely have to know but are too lazy to use Google.

Ready?

The finalists were Michael and Olivier.  Olivier was the obnoxious, smarmy guy with the mild accent.  Michael was the even more obnoxious, aggressive guy.  The final case was a wrongful death suit, where the plaintiff's mentally disabled son was turned away from the day care center he'd been attending, without any money or guidance.  He was then killed by some unknown assailant.  The defendant was the day care center.

Olivier won the case but Michael won the $250,000 prize.  Kind of funny how the two smarmiest guys ended up the finalists. . . .  Well, in all fairness, Michael did seem to be the best trial lawyer.

Oh, and stupid California Golden Bears for losing at home to Oregon State.  And stupid Notre Dame Fighting Irish for not putting a stake through the heart of the USC Trojan football team.

Not a great day for a Berkeley guy, but the Hawkeye in you's gotta be tickled pink! (pun not intended, of course) With an Iowa win over Indiana and Michigan's phenomenal last second heroics to squeak by Penn State, the Hawkeyes find themselves in a 3-way tie for first in the Big 10. Not so bad after such a rocky start.

The best thing is, Iowa gets to thank Michigan for bumping us up in the rankings by hosting the Wolverines next weekend: Blackout Saturday - bravosportsmarketing.com/Store/Scripts/prodView.asp?idProduct=54

It's gonna be sweet! It's great to be a Hawk.

At least the Bruins eeked out a victory to remain undefeated! =)

I was going to take some fall pictures.

I kept forgetting that Bravo had moved The Law Firm to Saturday. Who moves a show to Saturday? Oh well Michael was probably the best litigator on the show. It seemed like Olivier got as far as he did because Roy Black had a crush on him.
