Tim Tebow to sign with the Eagles tomorrow?



...and this is a comment from a football expert on Philly.com...




I like Tebow as a person. Like his moral compass, but as a qb, I ask one question: can he throw a 20 yard out to his third receiver just before he steps out of bounds with the corner in his hip pocket? The answer was no before, what's changed? I feel like Luke staring at the death star in episode 4..."

The Pea's quote re southern eagle fan:..."so many assholes and so little space"

It will be fun to see what happens with Tebow & it will only cost what? 

Hey Howie!?!...what does a contract like this cost the Team?
Howie? you there Howie??...Beuler?

I believe I am in Big trouble with Kelly...oh boy...

There was a Facebook post tonight with a photo of Sam & Amanda for the Father/Daughter dance. The theme being the 1920's
Amanda looks great in her raz-ma-taz
outfit & her pearls!

Problem is, I commented on Facebook that The Godfather wore 
the same outfit 6 days before
for Brynn Katherine's Christening.
Me & my big fingers!
When I typed that,  it was not to criticize Sam's wardrobe.
It was in admiration of his nonchalance towards 
fashion.
He is what he is.
Shirt with no collar & a Team hat is fine.


I did delete my FB comment but not before Kelly saw it & reacted...
Ugh!

 But when her car was illegally parked & towed away
she was not too sweet @ the "Parking Authority"!
...like the people that work there give a shit & have not heard rants before.

BUT!!! Britt is on TV!

AND! went to college...
AND! has nice teeth,
AND...she is thin!

AND UGH...she is a nasty one

Opening Day for the Weber Season!

My Weber enters its' 15th season today. After laying dormant through its 14th winter with just a Weber cover, it fired up on the first try tonight! Grilled myself some chicken breasts.

had some chicken & rice
and will make some chicken salad later
paid $229.99 in the year 2000 when some grills were going for $60.00.

$60 x 7.5 years= $450
how many grills have you bought over the last 15 years?
Or maybe you are Grill-less?

Get yourself a Weber!
And Happy Barbecuing this Summer!

I cannot understand a word this Brit is saying!



I believe the video shows that if you are going to juggle someone else's Smart phone
you better be a good Juggler!

Jason is a Good Juggler!

At Brynn's Baptism on Sunday @ St Philip Neri...
(quote to me from Brynn..."what am I doing here Grandpop?")
Someone asked Jason to "take a Photo" and when he took the
the Smart phone it spun itself into the air & wavered!

The owner of the Smart phone, whom I was standing next to...
let out a GASP!
No worry...Jason had just Juggled it to his shoe Tops!
and Took The Photo!

I have not seen the Photo he snapped

**UPDATE**
Here are some of the photos

Hey everybody! Feel like getting Depressed tonight? Watch the film produced by John Voight's daughter. UNBROKEN

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unbroken_(film)

It's based on a true story but is no "Bridge over the River Kwai" or "The Great Escape". It is really a depressing movie with no antics or humor.




Do not watch this movie if you want to NOT feel bad!

I believe the movie was Nominated for an Academy Award or 2

have you seen it?

I had my Canon with me today for Brynn's Baptism but I did not bring it in the Church or the restaurant

I Posted many months ago that I am a shy Photographer. There were many people (about 10...all from the Courtney family) taking photos earlier today. Both at the Church (St Philip Neri) and at the luncheon afterwards @ Viggiano's in Conshohocken. At the time I thought I did the right thing. Let these people do the Photos. I am looking now "on line" for Photos of Brynn's Baptism & there is nothing there!

If I had taken my Canon into the Church & Viggiano's you would now be seeing High quality Photos of the Brynn Katherine dip in to the Baptismal Bowl while screaming all the way!

So...in lieu of Photos of Brynn I offer a Photo of 2 of my Grandkids doing a Jackson Polack thing.

I have no clue who Jackson Polack is (google him if you care).
Sam was here today as Brynn's Godfather & told me Justin had an Art project. Since Justin has no talent as an Artist Kelly suggested Jackson Polack (Kelly knows Artists). Just splatter some paint on a canvas!
Meanwhile, Amanda (who really can do art) was drawing a Parrot...or was she?

... is it really a Parrot?
Google 
Johannes Stotter 
and check out Brynn & her Godfather
