I spent all day Saturday working out in the yard by myself.
Not exactly by myself. Larry kept me company. Maybe for the last fall.
I can't tell you how many Saturdays I've spent in my life listening to Georgia football and Larry Munson.
As a kid mowing lawns in Athens or selling cokes at the games in Sanford Stadium.
As a UGA student and sportswriter at the Athens Banner-Herald. Larry seemed old to me back then, 25 years ago. Old, but uniquely great.
Now, at 85, he's cutting back to the home games. Retirement seems close, perhaps after this season.
I'm glad the UGA-Ole Miss game wasn't on TV. I'm glad it was just Larry and us. Kickoff at 1 PM like God originally planned it.
This may be the last game of the season like that. Larry and the Dawgs on a perfect fall Saturday afternoon.
Helping with the yard work.
One last time.
Got the picture?

I've been a WAGA reporter since 1990. I joined the Fox5 I-Team in 1994. I grew up in Athens, Georgia, the son of a UGA professor and a hard-working mother of four. And I covered UGA sports during some of the greatest sports years in school history before graduating there in 1982. These days I spend my time traveling across our state, looking for examples of government waste, corruption, consumer fraud and anything else that I think you'll find interesting and important.
