Deuce will return

Everyone’s favorite Saint has restructured his contract to remain with the team for at least one more season.

Deuce

I hope he can make it. I love the guy, but he’s had so many ACL tears. When he went out last season (again), I figured that was the last we would see of him on the field.

If there’s one thing that I love about being a Saints fan, it’s the DOOOCE cheer.

Also, are Nissans any good? If I was in the market for a car, I don’t know how I could resist not visiting Deuce Nissan…

In other news, I simply CANNOT WAIT to get to New Orleans this weekend for Amber’s wedding. I haven’t been on a steamboat in forever. Maybe when my Aunt Tunia was in town many many years ago? I don’t know. I’m excited. I can’t wait to see everyone. Amber, I hope you invited Deuce.

Obama’s Race Speech

Most everyone knows that I’m a Hillary supporter, but I surely wish that she could give a speech like Obama’s race speech.

If you haven’t watched it, you should.Â His ability to explain whites’ and blacks’ experiences with racism to the other side is amazing.Â The worst parts are when the people listening applaud.Â Shut up and let the man speak.

Cohen Live

Cohen to do world tour

Leonard Cohen is coming to the UK. This may be my last and only chance to see him live – he doesn’t tour very often, and the guy is 73.

I have no-one to go with. I am the only one in my circle of friends and family who appreciates his music.

I will probably end up going up to London (fair old trip, I’ll have to stay over in a hotel somewhere) on my own.

Steve Gleason retires

The man responsible for the greatest moment in Saints history since “HAKIM DROPS THE BALL!!”, Steve Gleason, has retired after seven seasons.

Gleason

We should retire his number 37.

Depressed? Despondent?

Try Sunshine & Lollipops!

Chelsey is trying to break her addiction to tragic and horrifying news, and focusing on the positive.

To that end, she’s started a new website, Sunshine & Lollipops.Â Head on over and get happy!

DO NOT EAT THAT BANANA!

Make this instead:

Banana bread

It’s the right thing to do, and the tasty way to do it.

Happy Mardi Gras

It’s 6am. It’s time to go to New Orleans!

Happy Mardi Gras everyone, we wish you all could be there this time. Lame excuses such as “I’m retired” or “I’m broke” or “I have to work on Monday” will not be accepted next year.
