4 + 1 + 2 + 10 = 17

4 = Jamie, me, our kids; a normal night at home.
1 = Jamie's sister, Jessica, who's living with us for a few months.
2 = My brother Chet and his wife Priscilla, who called at 4:30 yesterday to say they were coming through town last night and needed a place to crash around 12:30 AM.
10 = The number of Michigan Tech University football players and other athletes with my brother who also needed a place to crash.

17 = The number of people who slept in my house last night.

I hope they all stayed warm (most of them forgot blankets or pillows).

And good luck to the Michigan Tech Huskies women's basketball team as they try to pull off a national championship win tonight in St. Joseph, MO! If nothing else, I know there are at least 11 Tech athletes who are happy to be skipping practice thanks to the big game.
