The Front Porch

FINALLY!  The first four weeks of NASCAR Fantasy league was brutal.  Four consecutive THUMPINGS.  However, the tides have changed as the last two weeks have seen my team as the fast group.

I have been running Tony Stewart and Jamie McMurray with Kevin Harvick and Chad Vickers taking turns as the alternative.  I did trade Vickers for rookie Denny Hamlin this morning, but I intend to run Harvick over Hamlin for the time being, and consider Hamlin over McMurray.

To my non-NASCAR friends, no need it replying with left turn jokes; I haven't heard any news ones in years.  Actually, the jokes are more predictable than the turns.

To think that 74% of all 6th to 12th graders have tried alcohol blows my mind away.  Fortunately, I never became one of those statistics.  I remember one time grabbing a wine-cooler.  I was the only one not drinking in a place I should have never been.

Maybe it was my friend, who admitted to be an alcoholic, sitting there with a beer in hand and shaking his head "NO."  Or maybe it was those talks from my parents on the dangers of alcohol.

This morning, I received an OP-ED from our Governor's wife--Jenny Sanford.  I decided to post the editorial on SC Headlines.  You'll enjoy her motherly candor.  Read it here.

By the way, I wouldn't mind seeing Mrs. Sanford run against Ms. Hillary Rodham C.  Hillary might out cat-fight--rrr, I mean debate--her, but Mrs. Sanford would out campaign her.
