Goat Ranchers?

Ladies and Gentlemen...Llamas, Duckies and Baby Goats everywhere.... We have plane tickets to SAN FRANCISCO! Yay for Spring Break! (St Patrick's Day Parade, Paddy's Day in the city, Napa and Sonoma Valley, wine, sunshine, sandals...meow!)

Another recent note of excitement...Alpacas made it to David Letterman opening monologue joke! Whoo!

I saw on the news tonight that ranchers in Texas are raising goats....to eat. (Eep!) Goats? What would possess a person to try? My wonderful llama friends haven't been seen since winter came, and still weren't out when it was warmer...which worries me. I swear, my neighbors better not have harmed those llamas...

We're going shopping tomorrow to check out the sale on exercise equipment, lighter coats for the trip and a stop to select a bottle of wine or two ;-) (or three!) We got some handles for pilates, and now we need the resistance cords, here's hoping we find them. I bought some pilates books on the Internet to go with the random literature we already had. Both mom and I are really enjoying and sticking to it. So I think it's a good investment.

Drew Brees was tagged as franchise player for the San Diego Chargers, I won't give up hope completely (there's still a part of me that thinks tj can come back to the Packers), but it's looking awfully dim. http://www.nfl.com/teams/story/SD/8204285 It says it's a non-exclusive tag, so other teams can negotiate. Ron Wolf and the crew has been gutsy in the past aquiring who they want, and that would be a gutsy move--a big price, and a possible year on the bench for Drew. But I want the Purdue man to come to GB! After all, who else do you know that you can type your name with only your left hand on the home row? Brett Favre....Drew Brees Dumb luck? I think not.

A couple of days ago the Bills released Drew Bledsoe. Broke my heart. Some guys aren't respected. You would never see Dan Marino released so someone could take over, same with Brett or the dreaded Elway. Now, Drew isn't those three guys, but he made significant contributions to the success of his teams. He led that Pats team to the Super Bowl, not Brady. He stuck it out and started that season. Brady swept in and had the glory. Cinderella indeed. The same with Trent Dilfer. The Ravens were pretty solid on defense for a couple of seasons, Trent comes in, everything else clicks, they win the Super Bowl. Well, since the defensive was what really won them the ring, there was no need to keep Trent around. Cut him, get some nobody to play the role....ooops, now they're laughable again.
