Welcome to my little corner of the Internet. Here you will find different musings and descriptions of the various happenings in my life. Anything from political and religious opinions to fantastical writings that have absolutely nothing to do with anything important. Some days I may write about my educational adventures and others I may be writing about the rising price of gasoline, you just never know. So, if this is your cup of tea or if you are just looking for the entertainment of reading other people's thoughts, I welcome you and invite you to subscribe to my blog (look for the link in the sidebar). Thank you for your visit and please feel free to invite your friends!

Smokin’ Day!

Ok folks, I’m officially proclaiming Sundays to be Smokin’ Day at the Corzine’s house in Downs. I’m smoking a beef brisket, a pork picnic roast and 3 turkey legs for today. No, I’m not going to detail all of the recipies (got to keep SOME secrets!) but let me assure you they will all be tasty. If you happen to be in the area around 7:30 or so tonight give me a shout and maybe we can share some of this bouty with you. Oh and by the way, the fixin’s with this will be corn on the cob and maybe some fresh green beans if I have enough! Now I’ve got to go and build a temporary fire pit as mine has been caught up in my back yard renovation that the landlord just finished, waiting for the grass to grow now!

Here’s the before pics!

Nothing But the Blues

Went to the Nothing But the Blues Festival at Tri-Lakes in Bloomington, IL today. It was a good time and a good turnout even if we did not stick around a long time. One of the highlights of the event was a 14 y.o. native named Matthew Curry. Here’s a vid from You Tube:
