Good Lord willing and the creek don't rise

It is what it is. I'll deal with it.

Pop (for soda).

Went down the holler.

As happy as a dog rolling in his own poop.

From my West Virginia childhood.

We'll be renting in The Villages in January-March, 2015 and are hoping to run into fellow Mountaineers. I've had season football tickets for WVU football for decades and am a 1950 WVU Journalism graduate, 43-year newspaper editor (retired since 1996), have traveled to 50 countries, 2 U.S. territories and 43 states and taken 11 cruises.

My Bucket List is getting thin. The Villages, in December 2013, was on the list, too. Not any more.
