Things to come for this Topic: Canoeing Fly Fishing Slackline? Gardening?Who knows what else. We'll see.PS - I read a cool quote today. People always ask me, "why do you rock climb, hike, ride your bike 100's of miles, etc?" This says it best:So what if I fell off a cliff or got eaten by a bear. I’d gone Keep reading [...]

OK, here are the rules. If you happen to stumble onto this recipe and use it for commercial purposes, it must be sold as "Granny Clements' Gumbo". I guarantee this to be the best seafood gumbo you'll ever eat. After cooking this, you'll find that it's a lot like Louisiana gumbo. My family roots are in Mobile AL, and many of our ancestors were from the New Orleans area. Always a good supply of shrimp and crabmeat from the bay area, and okra from the deep hot humid southern Keep reading [...]
I was chasing links this morning, found some cool stuff, then circumstances led me down the path below. Whack! It finally dawned on me. How stupid is this Boston Terrorist thing?Read more, and I'll take you through my Internet adventure.
Follow the links one at a time so you can see where I went, come back here for the next one, and you'll realize the stupidity.1. I stumbled across a site that was discussing nearly harmless and kind of funny "LED throwies". Keep reading [...]

Sign up for the Tour de Cure 2007!SIGN UP HERE!OK, I'm going to repeat Bob Ward's message, because he says it so well. Either way, I can't say it better. This is one great ride, and I encourage you all to do it, and do something good for the American Diabetes Association. One last thing, this is not a good beginner ride. If you're a beginner, do the Jack and Back in the fall. It's shorter, easier and you have more warm weather for training. Join the Harpeth Keep reading [...]

A thank you letter to my supporters after the ride. Supporters are SO important to the JaB.
I just wanted to take a few minutes tonight and send an email to everyone to thank you for your support of my MS150 ‘Jack and Back’ fund raising ride for Multiple Sclerosis. I’m happy to report that I completed the ride there and back on the long route, for a total of 150 miles. Without everyone’s support, I’m not sure I could have made it. Even though Keep reading [...]
