They may talk a good line

September 28, 2007

But when it gets right down to it their stuff just doesnt have it !
Look close at what they had to get when they really need to get some work done.  I aint talking about going to Home depot and getting fertilizer, I am talking about moving shit down the road !

The weather is fine

Tonight starts the fall season for the WTC. We have the pie makers and a fresh loaf of wonder bread ready to rock. Who knows what new and exciting things will emerge from the pie makers tonight, I am giddy with anticipation.

You couldnt pull it off

September 24, 2007

I have long held the opinion that this country has no conviction anymore, after watching the first night of Ken Burns documentary on PBS last night it cements that thought. I havent studied WWII to the degree that I have studied the war between the states but I knew there were many sacrifices made. I learned a [...]

September 24, 2007

In an uncharcteristic moment of non clarity I had commented that I thought Clint Bowyer didnt have the MoJo to pull off a serious bid for the Nascar Nextel cup. Clint is one of the drivers that I follow and has had a great year by any measure, this being only his second season in cup. [...]

MDA sets new record

September 5, 2007

Another record year for MDA and Jerry Lewis. Having grown up in a professional firefighters family I have always been very aware of the telethon and its meaning to firefighters. I recall as a young man watching Jerry end the telethon and being brought to tears with his compassion and spirit, rarely was I moved [...]

motivation

September 4, 2007

Unfortunately the outlet I sought here for my thoughts was diluted by other issues.
 Just for the record, my buddy Karl has felt the warm glow of the WTC and has admired its rusty patina in person. Some favorite beverages were consumed and the world seems to be tilting back on its proper axis, mind you [...]
