Sleepless in Tuscaloosa

It's 3Am last Saturday morning and Madeline is roused by her cell phone. Awakened by her roommate's snoring and unable to get back to sleep, Perrin was killing time riding her Tuscaloosa, Alabama hotel elevator. Exhausted and near tears, Perrin reached out to her little sis. A touching moment, though I've never found conversation with Madeline was in any way sleep-inducing. A few hours later Madeline's cheering at the final JV football game at a cold, windy, and rainy high school football field and Perrin is marching before the Crimson Tide crowd in Denny Stadium. Unfortunately, both the Johnnies and the Vols lost. Bummer.
