It was a cold day in Gainesville,snow fell from sky blanketing the turf at Ben HillGriffin Stadium. I was in front of my fireplace in Dothan Al and thinking that if we could only hire Steve Spurrier the Gators might be better than before. Snow falls and dreams come true.

Get the hell out of here. I was born in Dothan. Lived there for 30 years before moving to Indiana.

Nope, probably just mildly middle age

When you are pushing the century mark, then you can say you are getting old

I was there that day in Dental School. the wife worked at Oaks Mall and I had to go get her cause my truck had 4 wheel drive and she was sliding around in the parking lot in her camaro. Good memories.

Well, I guess the good news for me is that I'll never get old then.

Never say never.

I was not supposed to make it to 18, yet here I am, outlived most everybody else.

God has a plan, you are along for the ride till you get called home.
