Sorr...Happy birthday to your charming bride, buddy. Sorry I missed it. I will have to send her a note.<br /><br />I could not believe that LeBron's move was worth of an ESPN special. I can only imagine which NFL 'stars' are working with their agents to line up a similar bit of self-aggrandizement. I may have mis-spelled that, but oh well. Blogger can add a spell checker.<br /><br />I had heard it was sweltering up your way, but I had missed news of the drought. Here in Dixie we are 'blessed' with temps in the 90s and humidity to match. It is usually good for an afternoon frog-strangler a couple of days a week.<br /><br />It is kind of funny to have folks in from Phoenix or Laredo or other such climes complaining about the weather here. In Phoenix it might be 112, but no humidity. Even the mightest coating of Aquanet is no match for the humidity, and many a white-trash hairdo has fallen with a cartoony sounding 'sproing' upon leaving the beauty salon and entering the sauna that is Alabama.<br /><br />Cheers to you and the Mrs. I hope you get the rain you need and the rest you deserve. Maybe you can find a nice dark, cool bar, where they know how to properly pour a pint of Guinness, or perhaps even a mouth-watering Black & Tan.Judhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07079097345536803291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8743230869069229303.post-12390476853240575292010-07-12T21:38:00.750-04:002010-07-12T21:38:00.750-04:00Yes, you need to write more.

It was nice to see her smiling in the most recent pic I saw on the social networking site.<br /><br />And yes, BP has really mucked up the Gulf. I had been to the Gulf 3 times over the winter and spring, and enjoyed walking on the beach and admiring the sun, surf and sand. Now, it is soiled. Not permanently, but for a while. I have friends that own businesses that need the tourist trade to remain healthy, and they are being pummeled this year. <br /><br />It has not been a good ten years on the Gulf Coast - devastating hurricanes, a real estate bubble, a recession, and now a colossal oil spill. <br /><br />That said, if you are planning to head South, let me know. There are plenty of other beautiful sites to see and things to do. And the food, ah, the food.Judhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07079097345536803291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8743230869069229303.post-37638155223312761792010-04-01T09:37:24.734-04:002010-04-01T09:37:24.734-04:00Well, thanks for the update.

If I had been Nodar's father, I would have told him to trust his judgement and not go on that vicious track. But, I guess fathers don't give that kind of advice. Mothers do, and boys ignore it.
