Football and Jack Daniels, little girls in crisp crinoline underskirts, sitting in a rocking chair with your little girl asleep on your lap. The ways are not forgotten, just misunderstood by others. That Southern Daddy smell - that sickly sweet blended aroma of sour mash and bay rum.Papahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06661071063285850683noreply@blogger.comBlogger101125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8792646.post-6651745328153783552012-12-01T19:56:00.001-06:002012-12-01T19:56:46.082-06:00BamaSaint Nick has a new meaningPapahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06661071063285850683noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8792646.post-66473792199721314712012-11-19T14:59:00.001-06:002012-11-19T14:59:54.894-06:00Fight On!And I am in the precarious situation of supporting my old friends at Conquest Chronicles!

About 3 1/2 years. Now back home, and catching back up. Snarkiness is setting in, and having to come around to the fact that I may get to watch games in realtime!

A lot has gone on since the last blog post. For those of you who don't know me, I am currently in Baghdad, working for a US Government entity, helping the Iraqis rebuild. Life in Baghdad is interesting, to say the least. Life has changed even more. In December, I lost my mother. In May, my father left us to take care of her. My daughter had her first real date.

You may have heard of this story already, but I think this story deserves the widest dissimination possible. These stories are truly what makes you proud to be a LSU TIGER!!
