Legman Visits Huntsville

What a treat it was for Spooky, the kids and I to meet up with Legman and his two great sons for an evening on Friday as they came through town on their way home from visiting family. It was such a pleasure to meet him. He's a devoted dad and it was nice to kick back, have a few drinks, and just rel...

Depends on my mood, the weather, and the surroundings. With food, it would be a dry white wine like a good French Savignon Blanc or a dark beer. At our favorite local Mexican resturant, it is a frozen peach margarita but do NOT get the "big hat" size unless someone else is there to take yo...

Yes - thrown up. I know it's awful, but I was in college and I do remember something about Jack and Coke. It was a very long time ago.
