Quickly Quickly

.............there's not much time this week.

Went from Sunday to Thursday in Mississippi and Alabama this week, just didn't have a good flow, had too many hiccups this week on the road and at home. Had one distributor who was late for our meeting, said he'd been at the doctor who told him he has pneumonia and mononucleosis. Yes, that kind of week, one where my Mississippi rep and my wife both got the rear-ended, yes, that kind of week. Stop the snickering class. 

First of all a unc dig: remember how everyone says Coach K invented the flop? Remember what one of the tar babies said about how Smith told him to stay down? I never watch ESPN Sports Center at home, never, but seem to always watch it in hotels, well from this week's videos:

That's a little too much, and he got fined for it. 

I was thinking about our old church friend Jacques Passino this week for some reason, he relocated to Florida last year and we miss him. I looked him up on Google and found two really great pictures:

In the 60's he whipped Enzo so badly that Ferrari didn't come back the next year, claimed Ford cheated. Wonder how you cheat with experimental prototypes? He was a good guy and would take on any project at church. Yes, that's Freddy Lorenzen with him in the bottom picture. 

It's been 47 years since this guy walked back into the jungle in Vietnam and was never seen again. The US Army has been interviewing people and looking for his remains, maybe they'll find him and properly bury him one day. 

Darrell, you gotta hang on to the ball better than that, how many fumbles did he have? Interesting to see the numbers on the helmet, I didn't remember that. Rest In Peace

Reggie Love wrote a book. 

I don't recommend it, not a political statement, just don't recommend it.

If you do want to read one I suggest Bob Simpson's When The Water Smokes. I started it this week and got some much needed laughs, it's one of those books where you can not only visualize the events you can smell and taste them. 

Dink update: I visited her at lunch yesterday and she is very confused and disoriented. Lib Thornell hangs out with her just about daily, they've only been friends for a couple of hundred years. Remind me to tell you what Lib said at my daddy's funeral sometime......over the open grave. Priceless, seems as though I saw a couple of Daddy's young-ins shudder, absolutely shudder when she said it. I'll save that for later. Sadly Dink's comfort level is not what it was, TAR was there yesterday and said she wanted to get out of her bed. Pray for her comfort please. 

And thank you, Miami and Jacksonville next week, hoping for more grippage, Like that word? Grippage..................................
