a Palo Alto day

I lived in Palo Alto one summer, and I swear, every single day was just like today. Crisp morning. Brilliant blue sky. Bright sun. No humidity. Slight breeze. Mid-70s. Seriously, this was every single day in Palo Alto. Here in Nashville, this is our reality on about 10 or 15 days out of the year - maybe 20. But today is one of them. I snapped the pic above while cruising across campus - which is buzzing - an hour ago.

Why is the campus all abuzz? Because tomorrow ESPN rolls into the Commons for a live broadcast of their GameDay program - highlighting the fact that at 5pm on Saturday the number #19 and undefeated 'Dores will be taking on the #13 Auburn Tigers in a sold-out Vanderbilt Football Stadium. Yes, it's official. Vanderbilt has become where college football lives.
