In With The South, Out With The East
In sports, the SEC is very popular these days, especially in football. But, as Frank Deford points out, it’s hard times for members of the Big East.
OK, here’s the idea: Greece leaves the EU and jumps to the SEC.
Bingo! With all the television and bowl money it would get, Greece would be solvent again, and the Southeastern Conference would get that big Athens TV market.

My Dad Blocks Text Messaging on His Phone
AS OF TODAY OUR CELL PHONE HAS BEEN BLOCKED FOR TEXT MESSAGES.
I noticed on a couple of recent Verizon bills that I had been charged for a text message. I have never sent a text, nor do I even know how to retrieve one, and the same goes for Mom. Therefore, I do not want to receive charges for an unused tool.
You can call me at any time (preferably not after 11:00 pm until 6:00 am, eastern time), but in an emergency you can call any time. I recently was awakened at 1:33am by someone looking for someone named Tanya. I should have told them that Tanya was in my bed and don’t disturb us again, but at that hour I was not too quick on the trigger.
You can also e-mail us because I can access that either here at home or away, and even on my “I Pad”.
Or if you are not in a hurry you can send me a letter or post card.
All calls and messages are cheerfully received and replied to, unless we forget.
Incidentally, I think all the texts we have received were junk mail from advertisers.
Best to you all and love from both Mom and me.
