I got what I needed to get at the Farm, and am cautiously watching the weather on doppler radar as bands of snow and wintry mix sweep over Culpeper County.

I would start out the story with an account of the Most Important Meal of the Day, but while important, it pales in significance to the other activities of this Saturday. I would be equally tiresome if I just blurted out “Go Navy, Beat Army!” but my heart really isn’t in it.

Oh, sure, I would love to see Navy continue the streak of humiliation for the Black Knights of the Hudson, but you know what? I can’t do it.

These scholar-athlete-warriors of two proud schools represent the best of America: self-sacrifice, honor and commitment to something larger than yourself.

So, I am just going to have some farm fresh breakfast and raise the morning coffee mug to two great groups of kids:

Go Navy! Go Army!

Eggs Ackley.
