Deep In The Forrest

Oh I have not been in the best of spirits last night nor this morning, a melancholy seems to have set in. I don't know exactly why. Partially, it was our snow flying in and out so quickly, not staying nearly long enough. Then I've just been thinking on family, and missing old times with them again. The Daylight Savings Time phenomenon sucks big time, and screwed me up some. So Monday morning broke in like a burglar stealing my peace of mind. Went to work out, and that went o.k., but then I got back and had like barely enough time to throw together and get back to work. So there I am, eating oatmeal in the bathtub, feeling like shit and wishing it was still Friday. The normal amount of assholes were out and about on the roads this morning, so I had my share of little road rages. Got to work, and felt so totally unproductive to say the least. I managed to accomplish on thing, then I ran out to lunch (my the day passes quickly), and I decided I needed to run home on my lunch brea...

Would be better if I could say "April" in honor of the Prince song, but that's o.k. Everybody knows I have been begging and pleading with the gods of snow to bless our [fair?] City... to no avail. Couldn't have a white Christmas, nothing throughout the main part of the winter season. But now, it looks like Jack Frost has finally coordinated with his Travel agent, and decided to come visit the home of the Blues, Mud and Barbecue (yes, Memphis-I know you thought it was the home of Shootings, Stabbings and rape-and yes, it is all that and more, but for historic-value, hang with me). We are officially under a "Winter Storm Warning". It isn't scheduled to crank up until the a.m. hours, but still!!---> " Winter Storm Warning!! ...WINTER STORM WARNING IN EFFECT FROM 12 PM FRIDAY TO MIDNIGHT CST FRIDAY NIGHT... THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN MEMPHIS HAS ISSUED A WINTER STORM WARNING...WHICH IS IN EFFECT FROM 12 PM FRIDAY TO MIDNIGHT CST FR...

Birthday wishes go out today to an honorary "Good Ol' Boy" from NYC, our friend RockDog!! Well, I could hardly believe it, but it's true. The Mid-South was hit by snow and ice. Of course I was ecstatic. But I can tell the times have certainly changed. When I went out to take a look and "play" in the snow, there wasn't a kid in sight!?! How is this possible... I figured in our neighborhood, the little numbskulls would be running amuck. What's wrong with these kids today? I would've been outside all day long building a snowman, having Dad pull us around on the sled and just getting frostbitten to hell... Maybe they're all inside eating cake and playing their video games... go outside and play kids!! Time (and snow) is precious in these parts. :-{ So, Rodney says "Let's Celebrate!!!" Here is a little photo recollection of my first little 2007 snow... Here's Rich's Truck covered in snow Which became the sight of my creation,...
