Silence is Golden....

Who the F came up with that saying...poet Thomas Carlyle, who translated the phrase from German in Sartor Resartus, 1831...well he is an asshole.

Well, I knew some of my regulars would be checking here to see how my progress with vocal chord polyups continues into Day 2. I have inadvertently spoken a couple of times (when people asked me questions) but, I am having to show much restraint as people are taking pot shots at me. All in jest, though. Kicking a man when he is down! Shame on them!

I purchased a dry erase board so that I can communicate with my wonderful wife. Not sure how it will work in the bedroom however. LOL She will kill me for that!

Once must adapt to survive. I don't want this to go on any longer than it needs to, talking will only delay the healing process. I want this done away with ASAP. I have gotten a bunch of strange looks when people realize I can't talk. It's a crazy world.

Doctor Bobby....The cure for all that ales you!

Few even know of his existence...heck his wife even claims not to know him. But, silently (this is a very loose interpretation) he goes about his work...his magic if you will...to get his fellow man feeling well. No, he is not about the "laying on of the hands". He is not scientific, yet he is. Think about that for a while. He is about using wisdom (insert joke here), philosophy, and mumbo jumbo to develop his some times ingenius (insert another joke here) perscriptions for one's recovery. Frequent Rx's of dark beer, light beer, ales, and wine are his cure all exilir of choice.

Dr. Bobby operates from the patio at Taylor and 15th street where he preaches from his bully pulpit, to all that will listen, and yet, few do. Nonetheless he plods on like an ole field mule. He will never give up his gift of healing. God Bless Him!

In this his 15th year as a Kenny Leithman Award winning Track Coach. I salute Doctor Bobby!

Shear Genius.

Much Thanks to them for this special treat!

The Edwards', PlaceMatt, Richard Blackmon and Charles Blackmon

A trip to the Upperline Restaurant in Uptown NOLA proved to be a very special "Anniversary" night for the Edwards'. On hand to join in the festivities were the Blackmon Brothers, a rather odd pair, Richard very much the Brett Favre looking guy spent most of the evening somewhat befuddled, or let's say cautious of what might be said by his brother Charles. Charles Blackmon you see is a Native American Interpreter and shared many stories of his life. Suffice it to say, Charlie had picked up the name "Silver Tongue" by some of the locals while on a reservation in Idaho.

Meanwhile, PlaceMatt was his calm, ever intellectual self, sort of taking in the moment. He too may have been quite befuddled by Silver Tongue's proclamations.

The dinner was magnificent! We would like to apologize to anyone nearby if we were a tad bit raucous during our meal. It was not our intent to disturb only to have a wonderful time.

Viva John, Ann, and Chris
