Buckets of Fun

YHC was recently disappointed to learn that our current society is generally unaware of the “There’s a Hole in my Bucket” song.

Football Follies

It’s always a blast playing football with the men of The Hollow and Smokehouse and we just couldn’t wait until football season to keep the rivalries alive.  Some are a little better than others kicking, some are a little better at fielding, and one of us needs to enter the NFL now.  Not sure who …

Omaha, Omaha….

Several years ago, Peyton Manning made the phrase, “Omaha, Omaha” famous. For those that follow football, you know it was something you heard when he was calling an audible at the line of scrimmage (or maybe he wasn’t). Thus was the case this morning. As the 6:00 hour rolled around, the Q wasn’t there, so …
