So the local paper had this in it today, the most prominently placed among the group of obits:
I couldn't help thinking what a cool name that is, and that I hope she was a super lady with the kind of pleasing persona to match it. Her limited obituary makes you think maybe she was. I'll choose to believe that yes indeedy, she sure was.
This may well turn out to be inspiration for a Les Coole composition.
And when I get to heaven / and see what all I see

tiny, go home and get your fuckin' shine box...
ReplyDeleteany reason you couldn't get another job for your sabbatical - waiting tables, bartending, caddie!, starbucks? work part-time (or full) at a job w/hours you set, fairly mindless and stress-free?

We’ll eventually have the CFB equivalent of the AFC-NFC. And a large playoff. Tough to blame the powers of CFB. The NFL prints money.
