Gatlinburg
I finally decided to take some time off from work. I swear it's making my hair fall out. Shannon and I are heading to Gatlinburg for a couple of days for her Birthday (Jan. 9th, in case you forgot). We head out Monday evening, and should have plenty of pictures when we get back. We have reservations at the Park Vista Hotel and Convention Center. I hear that it is very nice. According to the website, the views are incredible. I'll let you know (obviously). Sorry if I don't update for a couple of days. Go Skins!!! Mike
Skins!
The Skins play at 4:30 on Saturday against the Tampa Bay Bucs. We haven't been in the playoffs since 1999, and we lost to the Bucs back then. What sweet revenge it would be to beat them and advance... We will see! MikeFriday Night at Outback
Shannon worked at Outback on Friday rolling silverware (I had a record 4 people call out sick tonight). She had never worked in a restaurant before, but did a fine job. My tribute follows... (Sing along to the tune of Devil Went Down To Georgia)
Mike went down to Georgia
He was looking for a soul to steal
He was in a bind
'Cause he was way behind
And was willin' to make a deal.
When he came upon this young girl
Man, she was hot!
Mike jumped on a hickory stump and said,
"Girl, show me what you got"
I bet you didn't know it
but I can roll silver, too
And if you care to take a dare
I'll make a bet with you
Now you roll pretty good silver, girl
But give Mike his due
I'll bet a fork against your soul
'Cause I think I'm better than you!
The girl said, "My name's Shannon
And it might be a sin
But I'll take your bet, you're gonna regret
'Cause I'm the best that's ever been."
Shannon, clean those forks and knives and roll them nice and tight
Cause hell's broke loose in Georgia, and Mike wants them right.
And if you win you get this Steakhouse Salad made of gold
But if you lose, Mike gets your soul!
Cheesy, I know. No comments please.

Vince Young
I can't remember ever seeing the poise that Vince Young portrayed last night. If only the Washington Redskins had the first pick...Sunday, January 01, 2006
It's About Time!!!
I hate to keep going on and on about the Skins, but it has been a very long time since they have made it to the playoffs... since 1999 to be exact. The Redskins' win over the Eagles secured their spot in the playoffs this year. Shannon and I got to see the second half Sunday afternoon at Dave's Grille (our favorite Sunday afternoon hangout). Good food, cold beer, good game, and great company. What a way to kick off 2006! Mike
