Back In Action

A week ago, I had an itch for some home cooking, so I did what I always do. I went on a culinary vacation to my parent's house in Brandon, Mississippi. I stopped by the new Five Guys Burgers and Fries at Renaissance on my journey, and can confirm that it really does live up to the hype. So after a week of feasting, chasing my displaced dog, drinking too much (sorry Matt, Jordan, Al, Tara), and soaking up some rays, I'm back in Oxford and ready for action. The only problem... everyone is gone!

Yes, it is that magical time of year known as Spring Break. I'm sad to say that the words Spring Break no longer light my lamp like they once did. Since early December, I have been on an amazing streak of holiday; Therefore, I have no reason to believe that this week is any different than the last. I'd like to wish everyone safe travels as they head to the Florida panhandle, the Rocky Mountains, or any other delightful destinations.

As for me, I plan on enjoying some college baseball (the Rebs play Louisville @ Swayze), the SEC and NCAA basketball tournaments, a John Mayer concert (FedEx Forum), St. Patrick's Day festivities (what a great excuse to binge drink?), and a writing trip to Clarksdale for some Blues exploration. I'm sad to say I'll be missing Malcolm White's St. Paddy's Day Parade for the first time in 5 years, but honestly, I've earned a year off from the Sweet Potato Queen mayhem. I'm sure my pals will represent my interests valiantly. Anyone else spending the next 10 days in Oxford is welcome to join my brother and myself in a sunlit lawnchair with drink in hand.

Cheers
