It's hard to find a real hero these days. People are worshipping pro athletes that are little more than thugs, Movie stars worshipped till they think they are a god. More bad examples are looked up to than good ones can be found. But we have one in our midst.
I'm 2 years older than Michael Patterson. What makes me so special that I sit here fairly healthy & broken all the rules for most of my life & can do pretty much what I want while he suffers his torment. Not knowing what t…

As I was making the real decision to quit back in 2004, one of my reasons was anger. No not road rage or the anger from being wronged, but a self inflicted anger. I was so angry at myself for smoking for so long. I was angry at myself for allowing my selfish pleasure to take the place of my loved ones. I was angry at myself for letting cigarettes have so much control over my life. I was angry at myself for wasting so much money on smoking. I was angry at myself for putting this off for such a…

I was scared to death. I had been smoking way too long to live through withdrawals.
What is it about quitting that just scares the hell…

September 30th 2004. I was wheezin & gaspin & rattlin in my chest. I could hardly mow the lawn & I couldn't keep up with my 5 year old. We had applied for another adopted girl from China & just recieved notification along with photos & health history of a beautiful litle girl named Yu Tao. All I could think about at the time was a 15 hour flight to get her. I remembered 5 years before & what a hard time I had on the trip to get Lulu. I did not want to face that again.…

I think that's close...close enough, anyway !!! LOL
How ya doin' over there in Hot-lanta?? I really apologize (again) for the typo - and saying you have 1 year...instead of 4 years.....I'll get over it tho !!
Hey - did ya see...I hit my 100 days the other day...102 today!! This quit smoking thing is just great...phenomenal !!
Hope all is okay with you.....
OH - What is the "Food Avatar" of the weekend here ???? Maybe should get my glasses on...looks like mussels and something else.....??????
1. I am not rooting for the Vols against Georgia, I hope the dogs come back like the Vols did last year!
2. Thanks for the running the table comment...we both hat Alabama, Auburn, and Florida historically, and for good reason.
3. If we are lucky, maybe Vandy will beat Florida also, but not Georgia!
4. And Finally, it was so weird when the OILERS moved up here from Texas. I was a Denver, and KC fan before they came here, and I went out to practice, and watched a couple of their games at Vandy's field, and I was hooked!
5. A good Pro team will usually win the Super Bowl because they do the basics well... and that is what the SEC is all about.
6. That is what you and I love about football, and
boy this is the best time of the year.
7. Titans, Vols, Braves Vandy..in that order
Hershal Walker Changed everything forever at TN
We may never had one another National Championship if he did not walk onto our field as a freshman and tear our butts up!
That is what I have been talking about
My fear is we haven't bottomed out yet.
Mr. Mike!
How's my handsome friend?
