I have been so busy this week and that has been a blessing. But now, the roller coaster begins. That is a fantastic video.

I had the most unproductive day at work yesterday. And it's so cold today that I don't want to go outside. But, I'm going to head over to Total Wine in a few minutes where John Randle will be making an appearance. 

In the meantime, here's a little purple for your day.

Thanks purplefaithful. The purple all over town looks great! 

And I made it to meet Mr. Randle. He was so nice! Now, I just need to keep my nerves in check until tomorrow afternoon.

@PapaScott - I have something for you. We had two Saints fans in our section and they left a couple of things behind.

Not a problem at all! They left and the towels were still there so I grabbed them. I remembered your post so you are welcome to have one. PM me an address to send it to and I'll drop it in an envelope to you this week.
