Didja Miss Me?

It's been awhile since I blogged - just needed a break.
Let me give you a brief recap of what has been happening and the very bottom point is why I have been gone so long...

• Just got back from a week in Garden City, SC. It was nice to be at the beach but it was kinda crowded with In-Laws, 2 sisinlaws, nephew, broinlaw, and one's boyfriend.
• Took Rog-man to his first Flogging Molly show at House of Blues, MB. He was blown away. Great show. Rog did the research later and found that the lead singer, Dave King, used to be lead singer or 80's Metal Band, Fastway - whoda thunk that?
• Saw some HUGE sharks from the Pier.
• Broke 100 on the golf course for the first time in a long time - I even lost 6 balls so the score could have been really low 90's if I could just get my game together. Big drives though. That keeps you coming back - My $100 driver is a ton better than the $350 Ping driver I used to have. Fatherinlaw gave me a huge Cleveland driver that I hit OK but NOTHING is beating the Tiger Shark driver with the Pro60 shaft. (PS - you should all worship my shaft...)
• Discovered a new Liquor - FIREFLY Vodka; sweet tea infused Vodka. Nanny on those of you outside SC, it isnot distributed outside SC yet. Made in Wadmalaw Island, SC (distillery is located right next to the largest Tea Plantation in the US) and it is awesome. 1/2 glass of Firefly and 1/2 water and a lemon wedge and you cannot tell the difference. Yummy.
• Took the Nephew to the Clemson vs. Citadel game. He had a really good time. I could not believe the Citadel put up 410 yards offense against us. (I also cannot believe Clemson is going back up into the top 20 after beating NC State and SC State - we have proved nothing as of yet, I would have preferred not to be ranked until the Wake Forest game - then we might deserve it.
• Big Time Tailgate for the Alabama vs. Clemson game. Tailgate was great but we got our asses handed to us!!! After watching Alabama over the last few weeks, they look good and have taken our spot at #9. Good for them... That was one of the most demoralizing losses I have seen in a LONG time.

This is a good rundown, but I forgot to mention a Braves game and a couple trips to Summits, alot of beers and some general good times... I intentionally left out the Anniversary that just occurred.
