Gators are Slimy and Crawl on Their Bellies.

Time keeps on slippin' slippin' slippin, into the future.........................

OK, so Steve Miller was bad but he did do "The Joker" and the line "somebody get me a cheeseburger" at the end of "Living in the USA" was very cool. But yea, he kind of sucked otherwise.

I'm kind of like my friend the Haahnster and am just uninspired at this time. Have no idea why. Have lots of thoughts but none of them seem important enough to write down.

Do I have the blah's?

Hell no.

My life is amazingly great. I'm in love with the woman of my dreams - and for the first time in my life - she loves me back!!!

And that is so cool.

That makes up for lots of shit I have swallowed in my lifetime. As a matter of fact, it makes up for everything. I would go through everything I ever went through a hundred more times if it meant I could spend more time with her.

But enough of that - I've been told that I'm sickenly in love and it just drips off of me. Which ain't so bad neither (wink-wink)

Sat down last night with a pitcher of sangria and a bowl of chili and turned on the "national championship" game.

Everyone I talked with down here had no doubt that Florida was going to win the game. But I don't think anyone would have imagined that it would have duplicated the LSU - Notre Dame score from the Sugar Bowl.

Wow.

What an ass-whoppin'!

And how funny was it that the great received pulled a T.O. and hurt himself celebrating?

I'm sure there are lots of sad folks in Ohio today. As a matter of fact, I called several of them.

It's funny, I hate Florida. We played them the first game of the year this year - and we lost - but we played well and it wasn't too, too bad. But back to the hating Florida. It really doesn't seem to matter. I think it's in our DNA down here that we always pull for the SEC teams in the sectional play. I guess it's just a Southern Pride kind of deal.

My swim coach in college was from the University of Miami and he always reminded us that Gators were slimy and crawled on their bellies (hence the name of this post). But as a reaction, we used to remind him that nothing blows like a Hurricane!!!

But back to football because nobody wants to hear about us swimmers.

I found myself laughing several times last night at the frustration of Ohio State and the jubilation of Florida. I can only imagine how exciting it was to be on the Florida team last night - especially after everyone in the world said that they didn't even belong and stood no chance.

Oh well, that's why they play the game.

Anyway - still wishing all of you all the happiness you can put in your pockets this year and I'm praying for all mankind. Especially those in Iraq.

Peace

Yes, a very good North/South competition. I think the only people that like Florida are Florida! But I am with you and the SEC. We have many people from different places living in Savannah these days. I over heard a fella at Walmart one day, to his wife. "All they have is SEC magazines here!" Oh well!
