Very sweet post. You honored him well. Prayers sent to you and your family.

Yes I did. I hit a 9 iron 138 yards dead in the hole at what was then the Houston Levee CC now its called Memphis National. I made the turn -1 but then bogeyed every single hole on the back nine. I was playing with two of my favorite customers and we drank away several good rounds after that shot.

Some of the Foster Brooks stuff on the Dean Martin Show and Roast is pretty funny. Honestly I really enjoyed a lot of the old Dean Martin Roasts. I would add the Elephant bit that Tim Conway did on the Carol Burnett show as an oldie but a goodie. Some of the old Johnny Carson stuff is pretty good as well. Yeah, I know this is old stuff, it still is pretty funny.

I was there and it was a miserable experience. The weather was bad and the Tigers played poorly. I lost the most money I've ever lost on a college football game that day. In fact, while I've been in the stadium for other events, that was the first and the last Liberty Bowl for me.

Ok, my last take on the state of WV. As a Mfg Rep I was traveling with a hardware wholesalers sales force this spring for a week notifying them of a new changeover to my product unlike the one they have stocked for over 25 years. Needless to say this was a touchy situation for the entire week. However, as I mention in an earlier post, these are some of the friendiest, toughest, yet understanding folks I'd had the pleasure of doing business. Enjoy their visit, they made mine a great experience. While I was in the town where the recent mining deaths had occured, the salesman I was with told me of the week when the mine disaster had occured. While the miners lives were in question, a large number of media people were swamping a town with just two restaurants. The locals, concerned about the national media and the presidents arrival, sent large amounts of food to make sure that the camera men and reporters were fed while in the town they loved as they still worried about their loved ones lives. They may live in the hills rather than the swamps, but they sure sound like our kind of americans. These are good folks regardless of how badly we kick their arese on Saturday night.

I liked RF as well but GD gives us as fair a shake as anyone.

Maybe some of you haven't been around long enough to remember the sad play that former LSU coaches fielded in the past. I'm not going to rehash this but it is what it is. We now recruit some of the best players in the country and we keep the majority of the best LA. players at home. Look, nobody is happy about losing to those a-holes in Oxford, Penn State, or being the 112th ranked offense in the NCAA. But I honestly think that we will field a strong team next year capable of contending for the SEC Championship and proving that LSU regardless of the last two years is a top program not just in the SEC but in the country.
