Mike's Corner

I decided that we should host Thanksgiving dinner this year, and Shannon agreed, as long as the house looked great. I failed to ask what her definition of "great" was, but quickly found out. Apparently, "great" consists of painting two bathrooms, the garage, the back porch, and the dining room. The list would probably have been longer if it weren't for time constraints. It all paid off in the end, though. David, Jill, Brian, Andrea, Shannon's parents, Mom, Baylee, and Audrey all showed up, and we feasted on Turducken and carbs all afternoon. I'd paint the entire house next year just to have everyone back again! Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving. Mike

We all know that the biggest birthdays in our lives are the ones that end in zero. At 80, you're still glad to be in control of all of your bodily functions. At 70, you're glad that you can still swing a golf club. At 60, you're glad that you don't have to work anymore. At 50, you're glad that you'll be retiring soon. At 40, you're glad you can afford the sports car that you need to help you get through your mid-life crisis. At 30, you think your old. At 20, you're no longer a teenager (and you're actually excited about it). And at 10, you are officially cool, not a little kid anymore, and there is still unlimited promise with what you can accomplish with the rest of your life. Ahh, to be 10 again. Happy Birthday Baylee! Uncle Mike

The SEC isn't too shabby (except Alabama, which fired Mike Shula yesterday, by the way).
