  1. Hello, um, hello? Is this thing on? It's been so long, I've forgotten how to Tweet.
  2. @apollorockit: Sorry for the mixup, but I've been in a MESSY legal situation. Jacobzona may return, but it may not. Thanks for the support.
  3. @merkelusa: Drop me a message when you get a chance, please.
  4. @merkelusa I'm trying to contact the company about a possible article, but the phone no. is busy. Can you contact me, please?
  5. Thank God for timely blessings. Got a review copy of Patterson Hood's new "Murdering Oscar (and Other Love Songs)". Needed that lift today.
  6. RLOD: "You know I heard it said, in fact I think you're the one who said it. Everyone gets heartbroke, it ain’t no crime."
  7. Teaching your 77yo mother about Lynyrd Skynyrd is a great way to spend an afternoon. I'm not gonna buy her that tank top, though.
  8. Pressure-washing, party prep, and a slight debit-card panic, all now up at Raising Jacobzona. http://tinyurl.com/kmt4w9
  9. RLOD: "Tossed out his clothes, boots, Bud cap and signed Dale Jr. poster, then shot the whole mess neon green with a can of Dupont spray."
  10. More daddy-blogging, this time with advice for the progeny, at Raising Jacobzona. http://tinyurl.com/lufwyh
  11. Daddy-blogging on Jacob's first birthday, now up at Raising Jacobzona. http://tinyurl.com/pzsswy
  12. Reason #854 I love NASCAR: "Amazing Grace" and "Taps" before a race.
  13. A word I'd strangle with my bare hands if that were possible: "foodie." You mean you like food, too? What are the odds?
  14. "Some things are more important than baseball, such as the sovereignty of the United States of America." Bob Feller, on his WWII service.
  15. Late Friday-night (for me) blogging, snarkerating on the BHG from May, 1942, now up and open for bidness at http://www.retrosnark.com.
  16. An Auto-Tuned Wendy's commercial. It's not as stupid as the one with the Violent Femmes' "Blister in the Sun" as theme, but it's close.
  17. Random Lyric O' the Day: "Well he fell off that mountain, and he never was the same. Somewhere in Colorado, sits a chunk of Junior’s brain."
  18. Of Memorial Day, Chick-fil-A, and no potty breaks, just posted thataway: http://tinyurl.com/qak7st
  19. Um, make that http://www.retrosnark.com. Sorry. Keyboard must have eaten some keystrokes.
  20. Wartime snarkeration, now ready for perusal and acclaim at http:www.retrosnark.com.
