In summer I used to go to NO to stay with my great aunt and uncle. My uncle used to take me to work with him at the Cotton Exchange Building. After work, we'd go to the lakefront to his boathouse and take the cigarette into Lake Ponchartrain. Everybody wanted to race us all the time. Afterward he would make huge circles in the lake to make a big wake and we'd jump the wake and he'd just laugh. I loved it. Good times.

When I was a kid, I went to the Shell Houston Open. My dad, my brother, and I saw that David Toms was close to finishing his round, so we decided to head to 17 to watch him. After he parred the hole, I was staring at him in admiration as he walked past me, and he stopped and threw me his ball. I wasn't wearing LSU gear at the time, but I'm sure he figured out he picked a good kid when my dad yelled, "Go Tigers!"

I fought a Jack CrevaLLe on 12 pound test in the flats in Grand Isle when I was 15. He destroyed a shrimp under a cork. My rod and reel were ridiculously under powered for him but I battled his arse for 20 minutes.
I got him right to the boat and the fricking line popped. I laughed and cried at the same time, my friends were laughing their arse off. Fun stuff.

My grandfather lived with us for awhile when I was a kid due to him being a recovering alcoholic. He would stay in the shop out back building things and listening to football on the radio. I was about 8 and out there helping him while listening to Bama/Penn State. Listening to John Forney and Doug Layton with my grandfather while we worked on carburetors was one of my favorite memories.

Growing up in the 1940's we lived a block from the railroad tracks. Watching those steam engine
trains roll by was something I will never forget. Trains came through our neighborhood en route to and from the main depot downtown. As they approached a street crossing, the engineer would blow the whistle. That was our signal to run to the tracks.
Good times. Great memories.

The movie Slingblade has a part of it that was a memory of mine to a tee. The kid talking about his dad driving.
My dad is still alive so not that intense but I loved the 2 hour drive to Louisiana from Beaumont area. Layed out in the backseat of their GTO. Pouring rain and dark, but I'm sleeping like a baby. Because sleeping in the rain is awesome and you're safe as shite as a kid with dad driving. Add to that heading to grandmas.
