A Few things....Learned From the Week-end

After a long 4th of July week-end.....

Here's a few things we all learned.......


Fireworks.......are awesome...........

Whether it is orchestrated by professionals or amateurs......fireworks are very entertaining and fun. Friday night, we just watched our neighbors trying to out do each other. One right after the other....no one backing down. It was an awesome sight.


Something about..........meat on the grill....

The taste..........the flavor.......it doesn't get any better than chicken, fish, sausages........on a grill. That charcoal ..........the mesquite logs........the smoked flavor..........'um 'um good. I grilled......my brother-in-law grilled. And we ate..........and ate.......And ..........man.....it was good!


NASCAR.......is better on the radio........

True.........while driving home Saturday night, we tuned in to the Coke Zero 400 from Daytona......What a treat. If you have never listened to a live NASCAR race, you're missing a treat. 3 to 4 announcers covering the race ............at all four corners of the track. And in pit row. The way they switched back and forth, from announcer to announcer ............was incredible. With all the sound effects........

Watching the final 4 laps (when we finally got home) on TV ........was ......a bit anti-climatic. Do yourselves a favor. The next NASCAR race that's on..........find a radio.....

You will not be disappointed ......


The "Dream" is finally.......a reality.......

Yes .....it's true.......The Atlanta Dream won a basketball game. Some people actually follow this team and it's league. From it's inception, we have been ....just a little rough on this women's basketball team........an expansion team.......etc.

But now........the fact is.....the Dream will not go 0-34..........Atlanta beat the Chicago Sky, 91-84 , for their first win after 17 straight losses. Break out the champaign ...........Stop the movers..... Quit packing...........Hey, we're 1-17!

Seriously though..........the Dream....has won a game. And the Dream has an unbelievable following. I admire the passion. You may well win me over one day........and we can all rendezvous at Philips Arena and watch a game.


Babies.......are indeed.......precious.....

Got to see great nephew this week-end...........My niece gave birth 4 weeks ago to her son. And there we were......disinfected.......surgical masks.......(just kidding)

No pictures though on this blog......the baby has his own web site..........But ........my niece? And her hubby? You guys did good. What a beautiful baby.
