Mark This Day

The University of Kentucky Wildcats are ranked 8th in football this week.
Somebody check…Is the Earth still on its axis?

A Case Study in Racism

What an unbelievably upsetting experience my daughter and I had last night.
We went to Hickory Hollow Mall to run a couple of errands. One of the things we love to do together is have Mommy/Daughter pedicures. It’s a rare treat, and since there was a place open late enough for us to squeeze it [...]

So Much to Say…Too Frazzled to Say It

Titans Keepin’ Us on the Edge…

We WON!!!!
It was, ahem, a little concerning for a few minutes, but…WE WON!
Now, we are 2-1 going into the bye week. This is good.
How about Mr. Monday Night, Keith Bulluck, with 3 — count ‘em — THREE — interceptions tonight!
And that final score was…
Tennessee Titans 31
New Orleans Saints 14

Clooney, if you need a House call…

Worlds collide! Well, actually it was George Clooney who collided with a car while on his motorcycle in New York. He’s pretty bruised up and suffered some broken ribs. Poor guy!

I have a proposition, George: I will be more than happy to come to where you are and help you recuperate. [...]

Current Temperature in Hell: 32 Degrees Fahrenheit and Falling…

I’m checking with my favorite hottie weatherman immediately, because I have read two items today that have convinced me that either 1) the Apocalypse is imminent or 2) temperatures have dropped below 32°F in the Bad Place.
Both Aunt B and Mack have publicly, and in writing, acknowledged that they agree with unhinged rightist wingnut blogger [...]

Meet Virginia

I just had to share this video with you…it’s my sweet little 82-year-old Aunt Virginia sharing a story about when she was a girl.
Seems she had a big ol crush on Gene Autry!
I don’t know about you, but I LOVE to hear older folks tell stories about when they were young.

Four More Years! Four More Years!

I’m a happy girl today. My favorite mustached millionaire hottie, Coach Jeff Fisher, signed on to coach my beloved Titans for another 4 years!
He says, “I have never even considered leaving. I enjoy living here, I enjoy coaching here and it was never a consideration. I hope I can finish my coaching [...]

For Daddy

Today I raise my glass to Daddy.
It was 16 years ago today that I lost the greatest man I ever knew.
eh, some years it’s easier than others…I’m doing alright.  I know that the reason I’ve been so sensitive this week to reading others’ opinion about how others should or shouldn’t mourn death or grieve tragic [...]

We were SOOOO close!

We played a great game against the Super Bowl champions.
However, it’s still a loss.
Indianapolis Colts 22
Tennessee Titans 20

I’ll remember my way and you forget your way…or…rants from the sickbed…

I have been sick for 3 weeks now. I tend to get very depressed when I can’t function and take care of everybody in my life who I need to take care of (my child, my hippie lawyers, my friends). I’ve gotta say that it’s times like this that get me thanking god [...]

A moment of zen…

I’m really having a moment of discouragement regarding my health, my life, the world, gah…
Therefore, in order to lighten up, I bring to you cute widdle puppies…

Remembering That Day

Not long after I started this blog last year, I had the opportunity to dedicate a post to one of the victims who lost their life in the World Trade Center on 9/11. It was one of the most touching and fulfilling things I have ever had the privilege to write.
On this, the 6th [...]

Movin’ up on the “Mommy’s Cool” scale…or, thanks, Billy Ray

Here’s me and Billy Ray Cyrus Hannah Montana’s dad, in 1996.
I was going through some old pictures today, and found a bunch of pics from years ago when I worked in the music business. It sure was fun to go through the mementos from back in the day.
This particular picture was taken on the [...]

Exhaling now!

Whew!  The Titans kept me on the edge of my seat today! I am SO glad they were able to pull it off!
Unfortuntately my other team didn’t fare so well in OT.
Now I’m watching Liza Minnelli sing “God Bless America” for the U.S. Open. To borrow an old vocalist saying, “You could [...]
