Something really funny happens after you haven’t eaten “real” food for a few days. You start to taste things you haven’t before. I use this salad dressing by Braggs which has all kinds of stuff in it, and this is the first time I tasted the actual oils in the texture of the sauce. Yes, I know it is odd to call dressing sauce, but you get the idea. There are things we ignore because of frequency. I spent the last two days consuming three bowls of oatmeal a day with the occasional grape, banana, and once, watermelon and nut clusters additives. The goal was a cleanse. Mission accomplished, I suppose. I don’t know that the BP dropped to the level I hoped, but I know it reset me physically. My stomach is moving in a positive direction at least.

Also moving in a positive direction is the recruiting situation for the youngest of dem franchise boys. We’re off to Tulane shortly for a chance to see what kind of team they are and what kind of opportunities he may have here following his senior season. Most offers are not signable until you show up in person, so we are showing up. Tulane is a CFP playoff team and an offer from such a caliber of squad is an excellent oportuniry. What that actually means is yet to be determined, which is why we have to empty the wallet and hit the road. Sadly, the wallet it empty now, so future teams are going to need to foot the travel bill.

I hope they will.

Some Thoughts:

  1. Absolutely Bonkers Headline of the Day: “A South African politician goes snorkeling in a giant pothole to highlight city management failures” No, seriously! The picture is wild.
  2. Also.. “Tennessee librarian fired for refusing to move more than 100 books from children’s to adult section” She fought to protect kid hits such as, “Larry the Farting Leprechaun” which does not belong on any adult shelf whatsoever. We’re in the midsts of a culture war, folks. Hold on to your garters and bibles…
