The Gilliam Blog - All the Blog While Its Blog

HEY!!!! It's me again for my 2nd annual footlong corndog photo..I didn't really think this "dog" was a foot but daddy told me it was in "Gilliam" measurements...(that would be 1 Gft.)...Doesn't the corndog kinda look like the Virgin Mary holding baby Jesus?..i wish i had a picture from last year to compare it to....I just wish Uncle Mike would teach me history lessons with corndogs like my brothers and sister says he used to in the olden days. They say it may jepordize his security clearance, whatever that means..

OK, I can now admit it. My cross country travels during the past few months have involved working on financial deals for former UT quarterback Peyton Manning. Russ and Scott: you had it figured out that something was going on, but little did you know my business dealings were not in the public sector, but the private sector. Russ, this is why I did not find it necessary to play the lottery the other night. More to come but suffice it to say that Peyton has been very pleased with the deals that I have engineered, including this one for an up and coming biopharmaceutical concern. For a guy who never could balance a checkbook, I haven't done too bad, huh? Goodbye Taurus, hello Lexus.

Do You Believe Me Now? -- To dispel a family myth that my travels involve some sort of top-secret, high-level intelligence (an oxymoron when describing me by the way), one of my business clients agreed to pose with me after a recent meeting. See, no brief case, no trench coat, no park bench. And those of you that have listened to Elmo for hours at a time know that he's no Deep Throat.

If a tree falls in the forest and no one is there to listen, does it make a sound??
Does the Roaring Fork Motor Trail actually exist?
