Sorry folks for being so long away, circumstances have dictated that I spend more time at Kennestone H. and less time traveling to SEC stadiums BUT I have not stopped dreaming about getting on the road again and The Captain and I (and another brother in-law Mike H. and Bruce, the Cap'ns brother) will set out tomorrow for Oxford Mississippi and the Legendary Grove. Tickets this round are compliments of the Captain who is a Tide fan from California. He grew up on the panhandle of FLA, retired from the Air Force and a teaching career in Cal., and vacations every summer in Orange Beach. He and his wife are slowly but inexorably moving their way back to their roots and have recently purchased a year-round home in the area close to Foley, AL. The Captain has chosen to spend his fall days remodeling the house, watching SEC football and being in closer proximity to the Nirvana that is the SEC, the best football conference in the country!
We are visiting Ole Miss because of #2 University of Alabama playing in Oxford but since only one of the 4 of us is a Tide fan, (a Ga. Bulldog, Kentucky Wildcat and Fla. Gator make up the quartet) we all come to pay homage to the Holy Grail of Tailgating, The Grove at Ole Miss!
More to come after Saturday -"Hotty Toddy" Ya'll!!
