Did a tour of a good chunk of Florida over the Thanksgiving holiday. The Boro to Tampa. Tampa to Orlando. Then Panama City. Tallahassee, then most of the way home before the wreck. Limped on in to the Boro. More than twenty-one hours of driving over more than 1,300 miles. Tired? Nah. First stop: Tampa, the land of my youth.
This here's mine and AndyMan's old house. Not in great shape, but what are you gonna do? Then it's on to Orlando for Thanksgiving. Fangs for the memories.
Aunt Maggie and Uncle Bob put out a good spread. Good seeing cousins Bill and John and their broods, as well.
Next stop is Panama City for the fiftieth wedding anniversary of my "second family" growing up. The Baggetts used to live just down the street from me in Tampa.
Russ and Tom were a couple of my buds growing up. Russ was kind enough to give me his tickets to the FSU/UF game in Tallahassee.
The weather was abysmal. The game was worse. FSU got stomped. It was still fun, though.

Ok Dave, that is super weird.
What? You never made candy corn fangs?

Ads, John. They were ads.
At least your team actually scored. My team nearly got skunked. Three points was all they could muster??? Ugh. Thankfully college football is over in our house. I can't afford to throw away any more uneaten VC's.
Charlie Weiss needs to move along. Then maybe N.D.U. will hire Urban Myer away from the dreaded Gators.
