may is gone


Can you believe it's almost June?
Where did this month go? I spent most of it
inside waiting on the rain to stop!
Hope your summer is a groove and you don't get too sunburned.
I am hoping to find some cool water to jump in soon....

Day of Infamy


Looking back and realizing that today is my wedding anniversary gives me a desire to crawl back into bed and start over. It was a sunny day, May 26th, 1979 when I took a plunge into darkness at a little Catholic chapel in Fox Meadows, little knowing the horrible mistake I was about to make that would change my life for the next eight years. That I survived to tell this story, so others could avoid my fate is all
I can do.

I can relate to the zookeeper who was bitten by the tiger two days ago. I wish him a speedy recovery and hope that next time he will get to bite back.

weekend is on the way


We are having the third week of Memphis in May
this week, featuring the world famous barbeque contest.
Teams from all over the world come to participate. This week is another
rainy week however and I think it will hurt the attendance some.
