Fun In Dumfries, Middle-Age & No Twitter

Another Flip-Flop Friday coming up this week. Tim's I in Dumfries is the location this time around. I'll be out there between the hours of 6 P.M. to 8 P.M. with one of your last chances to win those Kenny Chesney tickets. Hope to see you there!

Happy Birthday today to singer John Conlee. He's 63.
I never saw him in concert, but they say he used to chew tobacco onstage WHILE singing. I assume if you go to see him perform, you DON'T want to sit in the front row.

Also Happy birthday today to Hulk Hogan.


(Hulk is the one on the right)

Hulk is 56 today and said now that he's "middle-aged", he's working on making the transition from professional wrestling to acting.

Two things about that:

Number One: Professional wrestling and acting.............isn't that pretty much the same thing?

Number Two: How does this guy figure he's "middle-aged" at 56? What does he think? That's he's going to live to be 112? I have to laugh at these people in their fifties who say they're middle-aged. I don't know, maybe it's just MY circle of friends, but I don't know too many hundred year-old people walking around. To me, middle-age is 40, maybe 45, but after that, you're past it, pal.

I am so relieved today. Earlier Twitter announced that they are taking precautions to assure that there's never a rerun of last week's outage. For about an hour, last week, Twitter users were experiencing a denial of service. This, of course, was disastrous, because for about an hour, thousands were unable to let everybody know that they just put ketchup on their hamburger, they're washing their car, they're playing with their dog..............important things like this.

I signed up on Twitter weeks ago along with Kristin Nash and Tom Cooper, our General Manager. Why? I have no idea. Now that we're actually on , none of us know how to use it. Worse, I keep getting these e-mails: "So and so is following you on Twitter. So and so is following you on Twitter." Now, wherever I go, I'm constantly looking over my shoulder because I think some body's watching me.
