Good Sunday Evening Guys,

I hope everyone had a great Turkeyday weekend. D and I ate with the Young's on Thursaday and then with Grandmama on Friday. It was a great weekend all around. My therapists will be glad to know I'm not dog tired right now. If they had only known me before the crash. Man we used to stay on the road.

Saturday afternoon DeAnn and I split before the game. We hugged and kissed as she was leaving, I said War Eagle and she didn't reply. Wow some people are sore losers even before the game started. Coach Bryant sure would have been proud of that bust'em in the mouth running game. JP only threw that bone like 16 times or something. It was GREAT to watch. ROLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL TTTTTIIIIIIIIIIIDDDDDDDDDDDDDEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

Saturday Night I saw Robert and Kathy Waters. These are some great friends from Dothan that I grew up around and we kinda lost touched, but we all went to the beach last year and kinda reconnected. Mr. Robert chastised me about the frequency of my post and I told him my goal was to post everyday until Christmas minus weekends(hey you guys don't work everyday). Mrs. Kathy still looks as good as ever and it makes me wonder why she stays with Mr. Robert, but I guess I could say the same about DeAnn.

Mr. Robert talking to me really made me see that so many people started beginning or ending their day by checking on this sorry ole boy. That means the world and the least I could do is keep ya'll informed.

Anyway D needs help putting up the Christmas Tree. Love you all.

Hey Guys,

I tried to blog yesterday morning, but they turned the power off. I had a little toe surgery done yesterday to help my in grown toenail. Everything went wonderful and we were home at 6 pm and I was helping DeAnn get food ready for Thursday. This morning I went to rehab and we worked upper body. I have til next Monday off and will be back at therapy.

Well we are down to the only game that matters in college football. It blows my mind how all the national media think Bama has already won. I wish that were the case, but its not. Anyway, I hope everybody has a very Happy Thanksgiving. I know I sure have a ton of people and things to be thankful for. I Love you all.

Hey Guys,

Things are going well up here. DeAnn even has some Christmas presents wrapped. Rehab is still going fairly well. I think I'm getting a little better everyday. We are talking about going to the Troy game Saturday.

Boy the Tide sure looked better in the second half against those dawgs for Mississippi. Now they need to get ready for Auburn and move on to Florida in Atlanta.

Sorry for the short one.

Good Evening Everybody,

I hope everybody is having a great week. Therapy is going really really well. My strength is just about there now I want to concentrate on stamina. I really don't have that much to talk about.

I do want to say that it was great to be at the Troy game and see all our friends there. Also, Mrs. P(B) I still am going to get by and see you one afternoon when I'm in Elba. I really want to catch up.

I hope Friday goes well.

Speaking of that, Capt. Tony Tarricino died last week in Key West at the age on 94. Buffett wrote the song"Last Mango in Paris" about him and his bar that is right off Duval St. Just wanted all the Parrotheads to know.

HAPPY VETERAN'S DAY

Good Evening Guys,

I really want to say thanks for all the folks that have lived and died so we can rant and rave about last weeks election with out getting strung up. But honestly, thanks vets you have my utmost respect.

On the rehab note. Reese came up today since that state so graciously gave her the day off. LeeAnn wanted to try some things different and gave me a crutch with the cuff on the upper arm. Sorry I don't remember the name, but you know what I'm talking about. Anyway, it actually worked great and gave me great stability an leverage without all the baggage and weight of the walkers. I hope this will really help me become more independent.

Yesterday Mom and I went by to see Mrs. Sue and she is doing absolutely wonderful. Mrs. Susan came over also and the only people missing were Tommie Lee and Mr. Ed. We stayed longer than expected but it really made my day and I think they enjoyed it also.

Hope everybody is doing well.

Hey Guys,

I'm so sorry about the length of time between post. I know it has been forever. Wow, where do I start?

Therapy with the new knee is going very well. However, I am getting a little impatient with my progress. I'm just not giving it enough time.

Before I go any further into this I need to talk about this. Gene and Pam Dorsey lost their 18 year old Steve in a tragic car accident 2 Friday nights ago. Mom and I went to Fairhope Wednesday for the funeral. For those of you who never had the opportunity or pleasure to meet Steve you truly missed out. During the hour long service, person after person stood up to say almost in unison that the world was a much better place with Steve Dorsey in it. Steve pretty much brightened every body's day that he came in contact with. Please remember this family in your prayers.

Bama sure pulled one out Saturday night. They didn't look like the number 1 team in the nation, but they were in a hostile environment. I sure hope they will be ready to play MSU.

Getting back to my therapy. Right now I am tiring out real quickly, but that will come around as I get more accustom to the knee. We are working on steps pretty heavily right now. I hope everyone has had a great weekend. I'll try my best to post tomorrow before somebody puts a hit out on me.

In the words of the great philosopher Jimmy Buffett.......Fins Up.
