Porch Thinkin'
« on: February 20, 2010, 05:29:09 pm »
Two deployments ago I began writing a piece for my family called Porch Thinkin'. I emailed it out to friends and family. Once facebook started up I put it on there and got a lot of positive responses so I moved it to my website. Since you guys like the outdoors I thought you might like reading it. I am trying to put a new piece up each week. It's just a collection of things on the outdoors and the South...sorry Dana  ;D
I hope this doesn't violate any rules. It is not a solicitation. It's merely an offer for some outdoor reading for free. I hope you enjoy it.

Very much liked it Jimmy :)  Those words painted a picture in my mind of days gone by...some of the best ones of my life.
Be thankfull for all you have, because no matter how bad you think it is...it can always be worse.

Jimmy, found it the other night and really enjoyed the read. I appreciate every tour you've done for us. I got to meet you in 08 at Pappy's at the cabin when they tried to burn the place down raking the leaves off the roof of the shop. I hope your book does good and I want a autographed copy. Are you going to be around the first weekend of April or the Classic weekend? If so I'll get one then.

Jimmy
Just checked out your site.  Really liked the Porch Thinkin' writing.  I'm a Yankee, but still can relate to those thoughts.  Except, when I was running today it sure didn't feel like spring. ;D

Well, I think we're almost out of the woods in TN. Won't be long and the trees will start budding.

I would like a copy as well Jimmy.  Can you bring some copies to the Classic?

Don't know that I ever saw or if you ever said but, If you can tell us where are you moving to?

Thanks
