This is an account of some of the recent doings, sayings, or thoughts of friends and family. ======
BRENDA and STEVE - are a source of great happiness to their parents these days, because they're ENGAGED to be married! May this be a great and happy life's adventure!
FELIX - who has hiked the Appalachian Trail from Maine to Georgia, is going hiking again -- this time with friends in Virginia. Do not fall off a cliff, Felix, or get struck by a diamondback. We need you.
Felix is also a talented landscaper and has "essentially completed" a re-do around his home and here's the evidence!
MARSHA - is celebrating, as we are, the victory of South Carolina over Georgia. Georgia is -- oops, I mean WAS -- a ranked team, but down they went before the Gamecocks this weekend. Now the Gamecocks are ranked #17. Under the birches, we're very happy for Marsha and for ourselves, because we have all enjoyed many happy hours at the stadium in Columbia.
DASHMANN - is officiating at high school and middle school football games again this year. The rule book is in good hands.
SKUZZA - For reasons known only to her and God, she keeps company with Dashmann. She reports he totally slept through the last movie they went to, only waking up when the music got too loud. He says she exaggerates, because he remembers all those uses of the word "Fooking" (an Irish adjective.)
IRENE - gets this gold star for knowing that the sport being played by the real men in black in yesterday's sport question, is Rugby, that the men are the All Blacks from New Zealand, and that what they're doing is called "The Haka," a version of a traditional New Zealand Maori tribal dance. (See picture in the story below). This is an act of intimidation they perform before their matches. Irene provided a YouTube site to watch it: CLICK HERE
MIKE CARROLL who is almost from Carrollton - This is part of a conversation I had with him:
Me: I'm pretty sure this waitress didn't graduate cum laude.
Mike: More likely, she graduated "come loudly."
SCOT - caught a salmon in Lake Michigan.
PAT W - is now a published writer. Her review of 101 Ways to Help Birds is printed in the current issue of The Jack Pine Warbler, a publication of the Michigan Audubon Society.
BILL from WNNCO - I guess one of his right-wing friends sent him this picture, but it's a Veteran listening to Hillary Clinton talk. This picture kind of speaks for itself.
