Thoughts.....on a Friday....



In this southern college town.....

It's a balmy 70 degrees.......and sunny. Spring is slowly deciding to join us. After playing "hard to get" for about thirty days........Spring......is about ready to put aside the cold, wintry persona........the iciness of old man winter himself..........those unpredictable March winds.....and those powerful April showers that turned into April storms..........And after quite a few really cold April mornings..........

Spring.....has just about.....sprung........and is just about ready to warm up to all of us.

It's about.......damn time!

It's ..........the week-end folks........and all is well!!!






Happy Trails.......John Madden......

You retired from broadcasting NFL games........You were the best. An original. The best thing for the sport since Howard Cosell ......The young folks don't even realize you were .....at one time ....a Super Bowl winning coach of the Oakland Raiders........many moons ago.

They see "Madden 09".........the video game........But.......we knew you then.....

And you will be missed..........

And you left on your terms......as you did when you left coaching.....We admire you.....go.....do what Mr. Madden........wants to do.

You........have earned that right.




In the, "Wait.....he's younger than me!!!!" department.........

Boston Celtic General Manager, Danny Ainge.......you know him.....his wheeling and dealing helped produce a Boston World Championship last year..........

Well........yesterday, Danny........boy wonder..........had a heart attack........medically speaking...mild.......but still a heart attack.

His age?

50!!!!!!!!!! Yes , fiddy ............Five-O........


Which makes him younger than the trifecta here at 5 on Five..... Much..... y
ounger than 6eVoice......and younger than yours truly and GaPeach913......(Actually 6eVoice is only 2 years our senior....but it sounded good).

But this really makes you stop..........think.......and listen...

It's about time to start taking care of our bodies........exercising.......working out.....eating right...you know ........all those things.......we ditched.....when we turned 25.

Yearly check-ups........kicking bad habits.......(does this include smoking?)

We all need to take a deep reality check.......(You guys and gals go first)


Have a great........T.G.I.F.
