RIP Davy Jones

Sad news about the passing of Monkees star Davy Jones. He was at our Wedding Reception at the Georgia Dome in 1996.  Nice guy.  Refused to give me any wedding advice.  Probably a good thing.  Nice blog from AJC's Rodney Ho remembering Davy Jones.

Spiff wins Wife lotto!!!

I do NOT need to play the lottery! I have Janet as a wife. I am the BIG winner!! Tonight's fare: Chicken with Rosemary, pancetta, red peppers and other secret ingredients ... plus, pole beans ... orzo pasta ... and sesame knots. I think I smell something cooking for dessert too!

Remember

Whitney Houston has been gone for almost two weeks now.  I am sad she passed in such a tragic way.  She was an incredible talent.  However, the media coverage of her death and life has been non-stop.  Our society’s fascination with “celebrity” is simply amazing.  (I should know.  I was once part of that media.)  Today I made a stop to remember some people who did not get even close to the media coverage when they passed away.  No special “look back” at their lives … no two-hour live coverage of their funeral … no individual tributes during award shows.  Perhaps these people did not want any special recognition.  Perhaps they were just proud to do a job that allows us to spend our time idolizing celebrities.  Perhaps I will stop by and see these amazing people more often.   (Marietta National Cemetery)

Long, Long before Wii

This "toy" was carved and painted by my Great Grandpa in 1942. I call it "Angry Marbles". You can shake it all you want and those three marbles will just roll back and forth ... never escaping. You can see the marbles from all four sides. How he got them in there? No idea.

Got my Vote.

“Boy, 12, saves grandma’s house from foreclosure.”  Accomplishes more than Congress and the President have in the past 3 years.

Hair Raising Story

“WSB's Monica Pearson retiring.”  Hair salon and hair dye company stocks nosedive.

Nooooooooo!

"N. Korean accordion players interpret 80′s hit 'Take On Me'."  Many people worldwide now hoping Mayan calendar is correct.

That's a Croc!

"Researchers identify crocodile dating back 95M years."  Believed to be predecessor to present day reptiles, lawyers and politicians. 

Campaign Donations UP!

“Obama amasses $240 million campaign war chest … Romney $20 million.”  Cash for Clunkers is alive and well!

Here we go again!

“Looser Credit Standards Boost Car Sales.”  Just like the headline about home purchases from a few years ago.  What could possibly go wrong?

The birds do it ... the bees do it.

Caught these two "in action" at Zoo Atlanta today. The dude was really smooth ... putting his wing around his baby and making that "I Love You" eye contact. Two minutes later he was sleeping.

Beam me up!

“Newt Gingrich promises to build a moon colony by 2020; make it a U.S. state.”   Will also build wall to keep out illegal space aliens.

Let's do it again!

Going to be having BIG FUN on the radio again Wednesday morning from 6-9 with Susie Q in Chattanooga. You can listen LIVE HERE .

Flush Twice

I'm going to save everyone some time tonight.  You do not have to watch the President's speech or the GOP response.

Blue Ridge, GA

Big fun with the family this weekend in Blue Ridge ...

Skinny Mocha Miller Lite

“Starbucks to sell beer, wine.”  No need for an in-house breathalyzer as one drink is the most anyone can afford.

Nothing to see here

“US Army burns off final chemical weapons in Utah.”  Two-headed Salt Lake City man says, “I didn’t know chemicals were stored around here.”

Heaven Can Wait

A new Facebook app called "If I die" will allow users to leave messages that can only be viewed after their death.  Here are my Top Five Messages to be left on Facebook when I move on from this planet:

5—Walk toward the light and bring sun block … at least 9000 SPF.

4— DO bring a Kindle or Nook as the lines are incredibly long and only three of the two million check-in windows are open.

3—Yes … a PHOTO ID is required.

2—Heaven is really cluttered ever since we started storing everything in the cloud.

1—You have to wade through hundreds of Occupy Heaven protesters just to reach the Pearly Gates.
