First Race Delayed

Been waiting for the start of this year’s NASCAR race season. Once the Super Bowl was over, we hit a couple of weeks of total boredom as far as sports on TV goes. So I was looking forward to yesterday for the first race – the Daytona 500. And the damn thing gets rained out. Darn the luck.

So I hear it will be on TV tonight – I hope they wait until most people are able to get home from work. A lot of fans are really looking forward to watching this race – especially with Danica Patrick in this one.

Born to be Bad

baby tats

First off, this is a joke, people! There is no way you can get tattoos on a baby. But if you COULD get someone to put tats on this baby, aren’t the ones on here a hoot? The big “Mama” on his back?!?! This cracked me up!

Concert Announcements

There was an email waiting for me this morning from the Ryman Auditorium. They were announcing their spring lineup of shows. They have some really good acts coming to Nashville this year. I might just have to spend some money on a couple of tickets and go downtown for music and fun. Like the good old days.

Like Sand Through the Hourglass

2012

One of the shows that my mom and her sister, Aunt Charlotte, used to watch during the day while us kids were in school had this slogan, “Like Sand Through the Hourglass” that they played at the start of the show. The only reason I know this is because when there was no school – for Christmas break of on snow days, my mom and Aunt Charlotte still watched this show every day, and the slogan seems to appropriate for today, the first day of the new year.

With 2011 now just a memory, I hope that 2012 is good to us all.

Memories in Song

Back in the 1980′s when America discovered country music, thank to Billy Ray Cyrus and his line dancing hit, Achey Breaky Heart, there were several good bands that came out. One of my favorites because of their upbeat songs and great harmonies, was a band called Shenandoah. They had several hit songs and then just disappeared around 1996.

Do you remember, “Next to You, Next to Me”? That was a fun song, easy to dance to.
