This was a very good week. It started with one Michigan grad, Tom Brady, dismantling the Miami Dolphins as the New England Patriots cruised to a victory in their season opener. Then I got a letter from my condo development’s management company stating that beginning in January 2012, cable and internet service will once again be paid from the homeowner dues so I won’t have to pay out of pocket anymore. It was a great week blogging-wise, as I finally crossed the 200k mark on the Alexa rankings and a had better traffic and comments. The week ended with the University of Michigan football program one again making it into the Top-25 polls and Tom Brady again having a huge gain, so overall it was a great week for the school I rooted for since I was a kid.
