Border Bash 2012, and why it really means something.

[Cuz]

We have a big party in Augusta every Friday before the UGA/USC game. It draws around 20,000 people every year. We get the mascots, Hairy Dawg and Cocky, and the Cheerleaders of both teams here. The cheerleaders and the mascots make their rounds during the day visiting disabled kids and adults and going to the Children's Medical Center and MCG hospital. They have a very long day with another one coming Saturday. Hey pull for your team to win, but the winners today were the special people who got to see the cheerleaders and the mascots and have them be the focus of attention, not a game. Damn tears me up. In the link I post. The video has my disabled cousin at the 1:04 mark. The picture in the link is her, the UGA cheerleaders and just part of her Mom, my cousin Dawne's back taking the picture.

This is why these games have meant less to me over the years. Some things are just more important.

This is the pic the cheerleaders took with Baylie when she was twelve that won her the AJC's Ultimate Bulldawg fan.

How is she doing Cuz?

Life is not easy. We thought we were ready for the amputation. But other things happen. Basically life gets in the way. She and I are going to go to family therapy to make sure we are both on the same path. It will be no sooner than next summer for the amputation I think. I think being Baylie finally caught up to Baylie. And being her Dad caught up to me. We both need some room to sit back and take stock of what has and is happening before we can move forward. Crisis after crisis can eventually wear you down to you have to stop for a breather. That is what we are doing.

Stay there for each other my friend.

As an ex-Martinez resident, I know how the rivalry is in the CSRA. My secretary's bumper sticker read, "Nobody can lick our Cocks."
