A Dream Come True...

I've always wanted a son (or several for that matter) to play football and be drafted in the NFL...

Megs and I can dream....

Ol' Man Winter's Still Got It

The NFL just released the current Pro Bowl voting results for the 2008 Pro Bowl and guess who's in first place?... That's right, our own Brett Favre!

How cool is that? At 38, he's still got what it takes to lead a winning team and make it to the Pro Bowl! The only question that remains is, How many times have YOU voted for him?

Click here to cast your vote to send Favre to the Pro Bowl one last time! And don't be bashful, you can vote as many times as you like! Go Packers!

Megs and I were chatting online earlier today and had little talk that reminded me of a conversation that FFIL had with FMIL. And I quote from FFIL's "Phonetically Speaking" post (July 27, 2007)...

I received a phone call at work today.

So, I was thinking.

Yes.

Since, I'm about to turn 50 and my name has 5 letters in it, we can start to celebrate early. We can go out to eat each night at a restaurant that starts with the letters of my name. We'll start with "C" and we can go to Chili's. Then tomorrow we can go to Applebee's for "A", next would be Kneader's for "N"…

Excuse me. I hate to burst your bubble of excitement, but doesn't Kneader's start with a "K"?

Loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong silence — like the "K".

I go on. You could change the spelling of your name. C-A-Kn-D-Y. The "K" could be silent.

Okay, forget it.
