Brazil!

Tomorrow, Weenie, Mooey and I are jetting off to Brazil for 11 days. Try not to cry. I know I am. With the weather here in the 40s, the beach is going to be nice.

Many pictures will be taken and many Caipirinhas will be had. Talk to you guys later.

Obama Wins!/Lucas Turns 26!

Tuesday, Dyna came and scooped me up at home around 3:30. I was a nervous wreck about the election and we both took off work to calm our nerves with beer. Dyna had her porch all decked out. Here is the map for coloring.

TV for election results.
Dyna had Lola amend her 2004 t shirt.

Everyone was gathered around the TV as the polls closed.

Mooey was knocking out the red wine.

Lola and Egypt were working.

Weenie is coloring in South Carolina in red. She drew a middle finger instead.

Torrence is coloring in Maine.
Mooey is coloring in her home state of New York.

Here I am putting my thoughts to paper about my home state of Tennessee.

Then I looked at the TV and it said "Breaking News! Obama has won!"

We didn't believe it at first but then I heard the champagne popping and I knew victory was ours!

Weenie said fuck coloring in the map.
We left Dyna's and went to One More for darts. As soon as we walked in, Obama was taking the stage for his speech. No one spoke the entire time.

Then Lucas, Alan, Chelsea, Ian and Drew showed up for part 2 of the evening. It was Lukey's birthday! Darts immediately!

It was a looooooooooooong night.

River Arts Festival

Two Saturdays ago, Weenie and I went to El Porton to get a good base for beer drinking. It was so beautiful we sat on the patio. It was sunny and about 70. We had margaritas and burritos!

Then we headed downtown to Ronny's place on South Main. We had to park several streets away and walked up on the Lorraine Motel and the National Civil Rights Museum. With the election days away, Weenie and I took a moment to reflect before moving on.

Then it was beer time! Ronny let us in and we watched the festival from his balcony. Several people went shopping but I stayed and watched Ole Miss kick Auburn's ass. Sowway!

There was a band below us playing music. I Heard It Through the Grapevine started and these belly dancers started dancing.

Day turned into night and the shooters started.

Here is a picture of Ronny's sister, Lauren, either before or right after she dropped her beer for the 3rd time. Oh well!

We walked down to the Green Beetle for darts around 10:00.
