Things.....From a Seven Day Week-end

We left .......

This small, southern, college town last Tuesday.......and returned on Saturday.....and went back to work yesterday. An entire week.......of .....a great week-end. Thanksgiving Day brought 17 family members to one table.....

Smoked turkey, roasted turkey, green bean casserole, candied yams, ham, corn-on-the-cob, macaroni & cheese, mashed potatoes, potato salad, broccoli salad, collard greens, corn bread dressing.........and so many desserts.......I can't name them all.

So........on with........things we learned:


Never.......ever.......pack a small tube of Neosporin and a small tube of toothpaste....in the same face kit.......and groggily try to brush your teeth....... on the morning after over indulging in alcoholic beverages. Even when you're hung over......that Neosporin.....just doesn't taste good.

Our family........besides the Thanksgiving Dinner......went through 10 pounds of chicken wings......2 dozen eggs........a couple of cases of beer and about 50 pounds of ice.


Thank you......Atlanta Hawks........for embarrassing us ........on national TV......

Thank you........University of Georgia.......for making us ....."proud to be a bulldog".....by beating Tech.

Speaking of Georgia Tech........in the last three decades.......Georgia........averages losing to Tech.....once in every seven years. I can live with that.

Happy Trails.......Charlie Weis ........the Notre Dame coach was fired yesterday.......but Charlie has the last laugh. The idiots at that Irish school gave him a 10 year extension in his first year.........meaning they still have to pay him the $18 million he was due to earn over the next 6 years.

Welcome back........Allen Iverson........the ink is not even dry on your retirement letter......and your former team......Philly........has offered you a contract. Take it A. I.


Tiger Woods.........should keep his golf clubs.......in a locked vault. Not a good idea to leave them open........to a jealous wife. Allegedly...

The New Orleans Saints......are.....(to borrow the phrase from the St. Louis Rams .....of the early 2000's)........"The Greatest Show on Turf"....

This was suppose .........to be the Atlanta Falcons' year. First back to back winning seasons.....ever. It does not look good.....The best Atlanta can hope for is 8-8........Thus keeping that curse alive.....of never having two winning seasons in a row........in their history.

Okay.........I'm smarter........are you?
