Happy Thanksgiving
My family is preparing to head to Albany, or should I say suburban Albany (Lee County), to spend our Thansgiving with my sister and her family. That alone makes me thankful.
As I do every morning, I took my coffee with a full helping of Bulldog blogs, most of which gave thanks for our troops. Like so many thousands of others, my sister’s husband is thousands of miles away from Albany providing much needed medical care to our soldiers in Iraq. I am constantly aware of this, but failed to mention it in yesterday’s post. To say I was overcome with shame for failing to do so myself would be an understatement.
So please excuse me while I make amends.
Dr. Mark Benton, please know as I feast in your beautiful home with your incredible family that I am thankful to you. I am thankful for your service to our country. I am thankful for your service to your community. Mostly, I am thankful to you for being such a great husband and father. You are always missed. Stay safe and hurry home.

Washuan Ealey is a Dawn Good Dawg and he is only going to get better. I admire him taking the blame for this but, it was not his fault. Some of our coaches, and coaches to be, could learn a lot from this young man. Hang in there, Washaun, we are all behind you! Bulldogs More >

I don’t know where to begin. Yesterday was my birthday. The wife did everything possible to make it a memorable one. I played golf. I played cards. We dined. We drank. The deal was, no cell phone. Somewhere around nine, we had finished dinner and returned to the car. My phone was literally hot. Eleven More >

Saturday will be Senior Day for the 2009 Georgia Bulldogs football team. As I prepared the list of departing players I couldn’t believe how fast time has passed. It seemed like just yesterday we got word of the commitment from a big tackle in New Jersey, then another from Ft. Lauderdale. The undefeated quarterback from More >
