It's me again...

So, The Wife isn’t real happy with me. I have to point out that I could probably start every post with that sentence... but I digress.

It seems she doesn’t think that the programming I watch with Mary Ruth is not... how shall I say... appropriate. I, of course, think she is overreacting. Listen, I’ve done my time watching every Disney Princess movie there is. You show me a picture and I can tell you which one is Cinderella, Jasmine, Ariel, Belle, Aurora, Mulan, Snow White, and Pocahontas... I can hold my own with any dad out there. So don’t think I only watch “my shows” with her. Anyway, here are the shows that we like to watch (yes, Mary Ruth likes these shows and will usually ask me if we can watch them). These are not in any kind of order...

Transformers (the original cartoon)
GI Joe (the original cartoon)
Cheers
MacGyver
House
NCIS
The Cosby Show
Sherlock Holmes
ALF

I’m sure I’m forgetting some, but these are the main shows that I watch with her (we have them on DVD... so don’t start looking through the TV Guide trying to find out when ALF comes on). All of these shows are high in Educational Value... which is more than I can say for the trash she (The Wife) watches on TV. But I’m not going to sit here and judge that filth.

I don’t want to keep talking about this TV thing, but I can’t help but point out that my Dad will let me watch any of the shows I listed... so why shouldn’t I let my daughter watch them? I think the next show I am going to introduce her to is M*A*S*H. Classic.

Friends, I don’t know how it didn’t make it into my post last night, but I need to take a minute to congratulate my good friends KC & LA (the people, not the cities) on the birth of their 2nd child (first boy) Corey Wyatt Carter. I like the name. I like Gregory Wyatt Carter better... but I still like the name they decided on. As you might remember, LA made a WONDERFUL meal for us after Susie was born. I am hoping that she will do this again as we celebrate the birth of Baby Wyatt. To help out, we’re willing to go eat at their place.

Boy names are something else The Wife and I don’t agree on. Before we knew the girls were girls, we thought of both boy and girl names. These are just a few of the boy names I had picked out (in no real order):

Levon Kirkland Horres
Michael Corleone Horres
Ryne Sandberg Horres
Winston Churchill Horres
Chris Gaynor Horres
Greg Lewis Horres
Charles Oakley Horres
Stonewall Jackson Horres
Doc Holliday Horres
Ric Flair Horres

I know what you’re thinking, and I agree... they are all perfect. I don’t know how I’d be able to pick just one. But The Wife hated all of them. I just can’t figure her out.

Winthrop Eagles Update: The Big South Champs are waiting until Sunday to find out who and where they will be playing next week in the NCAA Tournament.

Cleveland Cavs Update: The Cavs are still the best team in the NBA right now. This is where I said they would be. Still, I will wait until after the season to say “I told you so”.

Chase Towne Update: Nothing new to report today.

Hello Friends..............

I'm back and better than ever... and I'm sleepy so this won't take long.

The semester is half-way over and I'm still alive, so I've got that going for me. Saturday was a pretty big day for me. Winthrop beat the evil Coastal Carolina to win the Big South Championship and earn a spot in the NCAA Tournament. GO EAGLES!!!!!!!!

Also on Saturday, I received an invitation to join the CSU chapter of Sigma Beta Delta, the international honor society for students in business, management, and administration. This proves I'm the smartest child in my family, giving me the Triple Crown (Brains, Looks, Humor).

In other news... Scooby is still alive through no fault of my own.

I have a newly published book out on the market. By "book" I mean a paper I wrote for my class about my friend Kevin Carter. By "published" I mean I have copies printed. It's actually two books in one. Might be one of my better writings.

Chase Towne Update: (from his dad): Chase has enjoyed a nice weekend at home. Each day he gets a little better. He is still not 100 percent. We can tell his abdomen is still pretty tender, as he does not climb much. On a positive note, last night he took his clothes off and motioned for us to turn on the music. He was ready for a dance party. He did his "popcorn" dance and was so excited to watch his sister dance. I guess you could say each day brings us one step closer to recovery and "Beating It." Good Lord willing Chase has NOTHING scheduled until March 17. This will be the first time he has had 12 days off since he started his fight in April of 2009. Please say a prayer asking for full recovery and an "uneventful" week. Thank you for the continued thoughts and prayers for our Miracle Baby!

Speaking of Chase, I had a chance to see him and his family while he was at MUSC after his latest surgery. His parents were VERY thankful for all of the prayers. So I will again remind everyone to pray for Chase and his family.

I have been told that there are some people at my new favorite church who don't like it when music is played at the end of the sermon while the preacher is still talking. I, for one, don't like it when the preacher can't take a hint from the guy playing the music that it's time to wrap things up. I'm just sayin...
