On the Sidelines with Dan Sousa: Thanks for the Well Wishes and Time for Some Work

It has been only 48 hours since my departure from LPS and I've been overwhelmed with well wishes and kind notes with my phone ringing and my inbox flooded (I apologize for not replying to everyone but I'm working through the avalanche!).

What can I say ... I find it all a bit humbling. Usually you have to stumble on the Appalachian Trail or get hit by a rogue wave (the latter happened to me one time in Ocean City and claimed the life of my eyeglasses ... why I was wearing eyeglasses in the surf is clearly a lack of judgement!) to have such comments directed towards you. Thanks from the bottom of my tattered yellow legal pad!

In particular I have to thank the local media for several nice columns. Dave Scarangella of DullesDistrict.com wrote a nice piece and I encourage you to check out his website for some entertaining reads daily; as did the dynamic duo at the Washington Post Loudoun Extra (OK it was Matt Brooks as Paul Tenorio hasn't come up lately long enough for air from the bottom of the pool or the rarefied air of Redskins Park!) made a nice blog entry in their Extra Points feature; and finally my long lost East Coast twin, Carl Lukat of the Loudoun Times-Mirror not only blogged about the change but Carl was kind (?!?) enough to include some memorable photos ... viewer beware: nobody said sports writing was a pretty business!

Dave, Matt, Carl ... Thanks!

Now I joked in the last post for Carl to call me for work and hey ... he called as I'm going to be doing the football previews for Stone Bridge and Freedom (can we find two schools with such completely different traditions but both have great story lines this coming season). So it is back to work after that mini-stay-cation. (My hard-working big-time executive wife likes to call any time I spend at home and not working ... a staycation)

Hmmmm ... so, I blog about calling me and it works. I could say: Washington Post ... call me.

Or ... Jennifer Aniston ... call me ... that was a joke ... don't want my wife to give me a permanent staycation from home.
