Let's Play Jeopardy!

And the correct answer is Frozhisassof, Frozhissassof. Back to the board contestants.............

My DC trip was cancelled and that ended up being a very good thing, lots of paper to push and travel each week from now through the last week in March.

Saw this picture on Facebook last week; that is my uncle's old hot dog stand on Falls Road and the boat was built by our neighbor Wiley Curtis Ezzell, or "Goog" as we knew him. Yes, another Rocky Mount nickname. We had a 14' Carolina boat made around Lumberton NC like that, then a 16' with a 33 HP engine. Goog built a side console for the 16' boat; using a steering wheel seemed like mighty high cotton. Another Goog story: when Goog died Daddy called me and said something like "the bass in Chowan River are breathing a lot easier today knowing he's gone." Goog didn't practice catch and release, he added "filet" in the middle. Pretty boat although I really liked the white and dark green color that we had a little bit better.

Ahhhhhh the Hot Dog Stand. Now I'm getting hungry. We went to see 50 SOG this evening and dinner was late. 

Last week on the Texas trip I read NC Wildlife, even though they only publish every other month it is still one of my favorite reads. Jim Dean is a great writer for the magazine and had an interesting article about spinning reels that took me back. Since it was Dean's I read it first, OK I see here's an article about Lake Mattamuskeet. I only remember fishing there once or twice with Daddy and they aren't good memories for whatever reason. I fished off the bank down there a couple of times, and there's a picture of some old guy using a spin-caster reel like he used to use..........hey wait a second!

Sweet fancy Moses who is that? I don't think it's Daddy but it sure does look like him, as in just like him and his rod and reel. 

The end of the winter is in sight, this weekend three words: Daytona. Was that three words? It is if you're from eastern NC, even ends in an "errrrrrrrrrrrrrrr" And without Kurt Busch, big step there NASCAR, good for you. You can't hit a woman.

Tomorrow I have a board meeting at 10:00 then to Sanford for Cooper's blue and gold banquet. Sorry I can't help Elizabeth with her move but we'll try to get there next weekend.........with Jackson's microwave. 

And my grand-dog can talk, we knew she was going to before it was all over (Dinkism)

Next week is New Orleans, and remember contestants, your answer must be phrased in the form of a question. The correct response was what did John do this morning? What did John do this morning? You were thinking Romanian literature, weren't you? Now back to the board
