Saturday Morning Reflection#13

Good Morning Everyone..
This morning I am reflecting from the kitchen table instead of my usual spot in the recliner. Seems my house has been taken over by 14 y/o girls. I knew that it was a different kind of day when I saw Josie carrying a stolen sock. The sock was very colorful (as near as I could tell) and was not something I would wear. I am sure that the girls will find it...someday.

WE ARE.....MARSHALL!!!

Work just pisses me off. Not really sure what the plan might be but...I know that I only have 3551 days left to work.

Nena....got stuff back from review.Paid a bill stamped at the beginning of June 2009.

Here is something on a positive note...Latisha and I have made plans for New Years Eve. I am not telling WHERE we are going, until we get back. I know she has told a couple of her friends, but I am not posting the location on here. GONNA BE A BLAST!!!

Ginger...here is one for you....

Eating Strawberries

A farmer was driving along the road with a load of fertilizer. A child playing in front of his house saw him and called, "What are you hauling?"

"Fertilizer," the farmer replied.

"What are you going to do with it?" asked the child.

"Put it on strawberries," answered the farmer.

"You ought to live here," the child advised him.

"We put sugar and cream on them."

Well, until the next time, Please remember that I have to pay the bills

Saturday Morning Reflection #12

Good Morning everyone...Time for another Saturday Morning Reflection....

Today THE HERD has another chance to be BOWL ELIGIBLE. I still call for MARK SNYDER to be traded to another team. MARSHALL UNIVERSITY has tried to play with the BIG BOYS and has not been able to do so. To play with the BIG BOYS you gotta act like the BIG BOYS. OHIO STATE would not tolerate the statistics that SNYDER has generated and would send him back to MIDGET LEAGUE football.C'MON HERD lets act like the BIG BOYS.

Once again I will say that this may be my last regular season MARSHALL GAME until SNYDER has been dealt with. I advocate firing him at halftime, on the field, and allowing anyone else to coach the rest of the game.

Now, for work....WOW Volumes of work and staff shortages make life busy.

Nena...Get Well Soon....I'm tired of picking up your slack.

Life, as I know it, is getting better all the time. Things are just coming together and fun keeps coming my way. Even some future plans look like they are happening. I am ever so happy to be back home and living life the way I was meant to. I have met and now have a wonderful young lady in my life. All seems to be well there. She will be attending the GAME with me today.

Well, until the next time please remember that I have to pay the bills

Saturday Morning Reflection #11

Good morning Everyone...I would like to start this Saturday Morning Reflection with...WE ARE.....MARSHALL For all of THE HERD fans today is the day MARSHALL becomes BOWL ELIGIBLE.

I like to think that as we grow older we become smarter. I seem to have reached an area of smartness where I realize just how much I don't know. I am working on learning more. This past week has been just a week. Nothing much to it. Social calendar...good. House...good. Friends...All OK. Cat...Hey, CAT!? For those of you that didn't already know...There has been a new arrival at my house. Her name is Josie. She came in the open back door and plopped down on the couch. There were several trips back and forth. She now lives with me and appears to be quite content. Tuesday she will be mad, but as a responsible pet owner I will have her spayed. Please note that I did discuss this with her and told her that if she stayed she would have to be fixed...she meowed in an understanding tone and that sealed the deal.

The weather folks are predicting a very nice day today. I am looking forward to the MARSHALL game. Latisha and I will be in attendance. GO HERD!! Today, I will also join in with the cheers and chants of "FIRE SNYDER!!!"

Well, until the next time...Please remember that I have to pay the bills

Veteran's Day

Thank You....

Today I write this Blog knowing that my freedom to do this is defended and has been defended by many brave men and women. These are people that have the COURAGE to stand up for the AMERICAN way of life and defend OUR CONSTITUTION. Veterans have defended this country (and OUR way of life) since it all began. This is THE DAY to HONOR all VETERANS.

GOD BLESS AMERICA and THOSE THAT DEFEND HER

Well, until the next time the next time...please remember that I have to pay the bills

Saturday Morning Reflection #10

Hello to all...First item this morning...My condolences to all affected by the violence at Fort Hood................................................

Now, let me address the email in the previous post. Everyone knows that I am not a supporter of Mark Snyder. I also maintained that he should be given a chance to prove himself. Enough is Enough. He is a Son of MARSHALL and should be allowed to resign and move on in his career. Mark...are you listening?

Finally, after some negotiating, I have secured some land to hunt on in Ohio. I am excited about that. Please remember that I had been living in KY and had lost many of my Ohio contacts. Feels nice to be home.

Last week I had mentioned that my ex's lawyer couldn't get in touch with her to come in and sign the papers. Suddenly, she arrived and the last word I had was she had signed. Maybe she still does read this. No matter...it is done.

My weekend is flowing well. Latisha and I are heading out tonight to a beautiful spot in central WV (no name for now) and look forward to having a fantastic time.

Ginger...This part is for you....

"Last week at church I observed a young gentleman sitting in a pew several rows ahead of me. The child continually misbehaved until the exasperated father picked the child up and headed towards the exit. Just before the child exited the church the little boy called out to the congregation.."Pray for me...Pray for me!!!!!"

Well, until the next time...Please remember that I have to pay the bills

DISGUSTED

I am disgusted and finally had my say.....and yes, I did send it.....


Subject: My opinion

I watched the MARSHALL v. ucf game on National TV I was appalled. Normally, I do not voice an opinion about someone's qualifications. Are you sure Mark Snyder is actually qualified to coach football at the level he is being paid to coach? Starting now I am withdrawing my support from Marshall Athletics in protest of this gentleman remaining as a head coach. Snyder has sullied the reputation of Marshall football and should be dealt with immediatley. I will not be purchasing SEASON TICKETS until Snyder has been replaced. I realize that I am only one person, but I am sure that there are others as fed up as I am.

Sir...if you don't have the nerve to fire Snyder....please allow him to see the emails that are being generated and maybe this gentleman will resign and hopefully someone capable and competent will restore MARSHALL Football to its proper place in the ranks of college football.
