Saturday Night At The Matches

I will be in my youngest son D.J.'s corner tomorrow night (Saturday) in Pensacola, Florida as he competes in a 6-man tag team event. It should be a good one! If you live in the area come out and say "howdy!"

Be Blessed.

AS COLD AS IT GETS


Hello my friends,
It was 22 degrees (11 degree windchill) when my feet hit the floor at 5:30 am, here in God's Country. Believe you me that is as cold as it gets around here!

The cold snap got me thinking that Mardi Gras this year falls earlier than ever. Ash Wednesday is on February 6th, so that translates into a February 5th Mardi Gras Day. In fact, February 5th is Alabama's primary election day. Mardi Gras is so important around here that the coastal Alabama counties will go to the polls early, on Friday, February 1st.
You regular visitors here know how much we love and enjoy Mardi Gras. Some may not understand that the festival was born right here in Mobile, not in New Orleans. I have a feeling that we are going to freeze on the streets this year! Guess I better talk to Mr. Jack Daniels about ordering some extra anti-freeze. The first official parade will roll on Friday, January 18th.
I hear tell that it will be 50+ years before Mardi Gras comes this early again. Mercy... my 3 year-old granddaughter will be in her fifties and my fatt butt will be six feet under. LOL
I will be appearing at an independent event in Pensacola this Saturday night. We'll get some information on that up for you shortly.
Be Blessed.

2008

New Year's eve is like every other night; there is no pause in the march of the universe, no breathless moment of silence among created things that the passage of another twelve months may be noted; and yet no man has quite the same thoughts this evening that come with the coming of darkness on other nights.Every man should be born again on the first day of January. Start with a fresh page. Take up one hole more in the buckle if necessary, or let down one, according to circumstances; but on the first of January let every man gird himself once more, with his face to the front, and take no interest in the things that were and are past.

Be Blessed.
