And I feel like this.It wasn't my fault this time.
I did EVERYTHING I knew to do to "hep" my boys.
All our losses are close calls,
But somehow that doesn't help me feel any better.

Many of you have asked where in the world I've been.
All I know is that after 7 plus years of blogging and a different lappy, which I don’t like, I seem to have lost my blogging fervor.
Someday, when you least expect it, I will post again.
For those of you still waiting I say thank you.
Meanwhile, I am rather prolific on twitter. Find me: @KeethaB

To name my "Grand Old Dame."
But you, my bloggy partners
Gave her much more than a name,
You gave her a poignant story
And one sweet hour of fame.
Thank You

Quotes of Note
You're born a male but you have to CHOOSE to be a man" - Herm Edwards
"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that" - Unknown
"They err who think Santa Clause comes down through the chimney; he really enters through the heart." - Mrs. Paul M. Ell
"Thankfully, our true roots are in heritage and not things. I just need to keep reminding myself that things are only reminders of heritage." - Keetha Broyles, June 21, 2010
"Tears lubricate the soul." - from "Finding Buck McHenry"
"Somehow you must come to understand that God is love, that love is the proof of God, and forgiveness is the proof of love." - The Priest in "Levi's Will" by W. Dale Cramer
"The truth about a man is in what he does, not what he says." - W. Dale Cramer in "Levi's Will"
"Fairy Tales are more than true; not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten." - G. K. Chesterton

My condolences!
I am so sorry! Still a wonderful game just the wrong outcome!
Wow, what a game. Your boys should have won - no question about it. Hey they did get to play in the Rose Bowl again this season - that's a great accomplishment in itself. September is coming...
Classic!
So bummed. :-(
:-( Sorry friend.
I know BUT WHATAGAME! I watched every minute and I have to say, it was the best game of the day! Sorry you lost but they played hard all the way to the very end! HUGS!
I am a huge hockey fan and it seems like every year they lose in the playoffs. It is heartbreaking! Well, there is always next season!!
You'll probably shun me forever, but you know I was rooting/quacking for the ducks. Your boys played a great game to the end though!
I thought of you throughout that whole game! I'm sorry for your loss, even though I was kinda rooting for the ducks... so sorry.
It was an amazing game though!
Aw, poor Keetha and the lads. But - hey - it's just one step closer to the NEXT final, right?!
We know how you feel - the football (soccer) team that we support doesn't always do much to earn our devotion (more "tolerance" these days...!).
Here's hoping for greater glories next time! Happy new year!!

I walked into the family room and asked Mark if Wisconsin won, he said no. I said poor Keetha. (HUGS)
Sorry.
:( Im so sorry for you Keetha! I feel your pain...remember me when Bama lost during season to LSU...and you were there. Just want you to know I am sorry And there's always tomorrow. Sending love
