Things haven’t changed much since the last time I posted.   I’m still playing a lot of golf and work has been extremely busy.  Both are going pretty well though.  Work should slow down a little bit in the next couple of weeks and as the sun starts going down later, I’ll be getting even more golf in. 

Courtney is graduating from ULM with her masters in May.  She is taking her final two classes right now and is staying pretty busy with homework.  I know she is really looking forward to getting done with that. 

We went to the Reba McIntire/Kelly Clarkson concert this past weekend.  It turned out to be a great concert.  I’m not much for Kelly Clarkson, but they way they had the concert set up, it wasn’t that bad.  Reba sang many of her old songs, which is what I really wanted to hear.   One of the cast members of the TV show Reba opened the concert with a comedy act.  It was a decent act, but the actual concert was much better.

There has been quite a bit that has been going on recently.  My brother proposed to his girlfriend (Ashley Cochran) not too long ago, so they will be getting married pretty soon.  I always wondered if he would ever settle down.  Now the question is where they will get married.   If Jay is in charge of making that decision, I look for it to be a drive through in Vegas or something.  Hopefully he won’t be making that decision.  I think we will all gladly welcome Ashley into the family.  She is a great person, and if she has put up with Jay so far, she shouldn’t have any problem with the rest of her life. 

We just got finished with Christmas.  That has got to be the busiest time of the year.  As much as I enjoy the Christmas season, I am glad all the running around and eating are over with.  It gets pretty hectic running from place to place on Christmas Eve and Christmas day.  By the time it was all over, I really didn’t want to see any more food for a while.  I’m going to have to go on a diet now to lose all the weight that I gained over the past couple of weeks. 

It looks like I am going to start the new year off sick.  I don’t get sick very often, but I don’t feel well right now.  Hopefully it will go away pretty quickly because I have a lot of golf and hunting planned for the next couple of days.  I hope I don’t have to miss any of it.  I tried to play this morning, but only got through 9 holes before I had to leave.  I did shoot a 39 on those 9 holes, so maybe I ought to play sick more often.  I’ve got a couple of tournaments coming up soon that I hope I am able to play in.  We’ll just have to see though.

Things have been pretty exciting here lately.  Now that hunting season has come, I’ve been spending some time on the deer stand.  It payed off this past weekend.  Friday afternoon I got my first deer of the year (hopefully won’t be the only one).  I saw quite a few that day, but I killed a doe just before it got too dark.  I’ll hopefully be going back out this next weekend.  Maybe I can get another one. 

Also this past weekend, my Tennessee Vols wrapped up their spot in the SEC Championship game with a stressful win over the Kentucky Wildcats.  It was a very exciting game, though I don’t care to see another one like it anytime soon.  There’s only so much I can take during one game, and if it would have gone to a 5th overtime, I’m not sure I would have made it through the game.  The SEC Championship starts at 3:00 Saturday afternoon, so I’ll be getting ready for that this week and hopefully the Vols will pull out a victory over LSU.  The way both teams have played lately, this game could go either way.  I’m hoping it ends with a Tennessee win, because if it doesn’t, I’m pretty sure I’ll have a bad day at work the next Monday.
