Sunflower Desert

Ted’s dad went home to be with the Lord early this morning. He was blessed to be at home with his wife of 59 years and two daughters as he made his journey to heaven. He had turned 87 years old on July 4th.

Therefore, we will be back to traveling again and I’ll be in the process of figuring out how and where to bring Tieki Rae back to. The services will be in southwest KS.

I look forward to returning and will see you all when I get back.

One of the great things about Comment of the Week is that it’s FRIDAY!!

While I had plenty to choose from, Totaltransformation came in today and left this great comment on the Michael Vic/Dog Killer post.

Did you hear, Michael Vick released a statement. Here, I’ll repost it.

“To my legion of adoring fans. I am so sorry that I let you down. Not with the whole dog fighting thing, I mean regarding my abilities (or lack thereof) on the field. Between all my injuries caused by my failure to actually throw the ball (an odd thing since I am a quarterback), and my frequent confusion over whether I am the Atlanta Falcons quarterback or their running back, I haven’t played many complete seasons since I started with this team.

In addition, I know my stats have been pretty mediocre (except for yards on the ground, which are quite impressive FOR A QUARTERBACK). Also, I know that I frequently do incredibly stupid things like flipping off my fans and letting dog fights occur on my property. But can’t you forgive me? After all, it isn’t like I killed my wife.

Speaking of that, perhaps if I hung out with O.J. you guys might appreciate me more. Kind of like how when average looking girls have an ugly friend they look even better- but this would be more about morals than looks. I mean, seriously, do I have to hang out with O.J. and Pacman Jones in order to look like a half way decent and respectable quarterback? If that is what I must do, then I guess I must. As long as it doesn’t involve throwing the football, I hate doing that.

Well, I am off to the Golf Course to help O.J. find the real killers. Maybe I will get lucky and they will be responsible for all those dog fights too?!”

[The above was satire…as you could have guessed]

While I’m certain that we can all agree that what Vic is accused of is horrendous, we can also count on TT to leave a brilliant comment.

Ready to play? Here’s a guideline refresher:

1. Go back to your own wonderful blogs and find a comment that you think should be honored here.
2. Come back to this post and paste the comment.
3. I encourage you to link back to your own blog and even the commenter’s blog if you like.
4. If your comment gets thrown in the dreaded moderation queue for having two links, I will bravely tread in there and release it.
5. Rules are meant to be broken. Play, comment, and just have a good time — after all it’s FRIDAY!!!!
