I LOVES me some fried chicken!

Let me tell you why I LOVES me some fried chicken. We went to Hodak's last night and had the best fried chicken in St. Louis. If you have never been there and you live in St. Louis, go. Now, tonight, tomorrow, the next chance you can. If you do not live here and you visit, go there. You won't be disappointed.

So far, this blog has mainly been about me (Dave) and my opinions. In my selfishness, I neglegted to mention something that Brittany did last week with her work. As you may or may not know, she works for her Sorority's (Pi Beta Phi) headquarters. Last week, she went to the airport along with several other Pi Phis and handed out Dr. Seuss books to children who were flying on Southwest Airlines. This was part of their national philanthropy. The day they were doing this was Dr. Seuss's birthday. This took place at several major airports throughout the country. So if you know someone who got a Dr. Seuss book last week for flying Southwest, that was the doing of the Pi Phis.

Now, back to me...

I added links on the right to our MySpace pages. So any of you out there who are in MySpace land, add us as friends, otherwise, just go and check it out. FYI, Brittany's is still under construction. I put up some goofy stuff just to fill the page.
