As they say - time flies....

A post at the beginning of the year and the next post as the year winds down. I'm not one to wish my life away but....come midnight Dec. 31 I'll be kicking this year in the butt, helping it get the hell out of here! But, enough of that and on to more important things. Fall is here! Or, I should say, fall is technically here. The only way anyone living near me would know the season has changed would be by looking at a calendar. Yes, it's still hot here in the land of the gator hunters. Our local weather guru is promising a cool front sometime Sunday - highs in upper 70's to low 80's. It's not much but it gives us hope. Lately, hope has been in short supply here in my adopted city. Our beloved Tigers haven't been doing as well as hoped. Actually, they've been scaring the merde out of us. September's exhibition games have been played and the real season starts tomorrow - in a similar swampy area (Florida). This city is holding its breath. Next week will either be one of renewed optimism or one of deep, dark, doom. Silly, I know but it is what it is. Then there's da Saints. Yes, hope has been in short supply here....
