The March

I have seen the Grand Canyon, Mt. Fuji, Buckingham Palace, and a hosts of other magnificent views. But in Memphis, Monday, I saw for the first time: The March of the Ducks at the Peabody Hotel in Memphis.

Memphis Cotton Mueseum

Monday I will attend a reading and signing at the Memphis Cotton Museum in (where else) Memphis. It will be at noon so I have high hopes. Memphis is a wonderful old Southern city.

Ten of 'em

Say what you will about the Ten Commandments, you must always come back to the pleasant fact that there are only ten of them.

And ten is all we need.

Another Excerpt

From: Redneck Diary.

January 11

Dennis was banging on the propane tank with a hammer today trying to knock some of the rust off. I told Lester about it. Lester said he wasn’t an engineer but he wasn’t sure that was a good idea, banging on a defective propane tank. Lester asked me if he should send out invitations to his Super bowl party, RSVP. I told him I doubted if most of HIS friends could spell RSVP.

Excerpt from Redneck Diary:

January 1,

Lester, and brother Bubba, and what’s his name, Mac Something or Another ,took all the empty beer cans from the football game party last night, and sold them at the can redemption place. Ernest Jones owns the redemption place and he stays open because New Year’s day is one of his best business days. It’s open year round, what with our trailer park so close and being its biggest customer. They got paid over $14.00. They got paid by the pound, I think, and there was just the three of them that had been drinking all the beer. It was a great New years eve. Just the four of us. They used the $14.00 to buy more beer because some more big games are still ahead. Mac--whatever his name is--can’t watch today on account of his girlfriend Darlene wants him over at her trailer for New Years--I can’t imagine why. Bubba came back over, though, and brought us house gifts --a large can of cashews and a six pack of toilet paper from the Piggly Wiggly. Bubba is awfully damned sweet.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year. I think my Ws will finally be launched between Friday and Monday. Hope everyone has a succesful New Year. Seems like just a few minutes ago that everyone was worried about the computer world and everything that is hooked up to it would "crash" January 1, 2000.
