Well,  if as you say you have 12" balls they are certainly worthy of
unveiling and I'm sure there WILL be film at 11.  Ruth

The cemetery is a quiet one ;it rests under the shade of the magnolias and
live oak .
A mocking bird warbles in the December  sun
In the center stands a flag pole ,and all around it row upon row lay the
fallen dead asleep     in marble white graves .
A set of bleachers has been built to hold the visitors . It will be a small
group . Hopefully as this is the coast we are talking temps in the low 60's

Known as confederate rest the site is a low walled structure with cannon
balls marking every corner and every entrance . The stars and bars (white
ensign blue cross)   snaps under blue Alabama skies .

Mission : to re jack the walls from their lean ,provide gravel back up and
drainage (weep) holes . Mineral coat Alabama limestone (for reasons too
numerous to mention).Re set
Re place balls

My balls (should they be approved ) will be unveiled at a ceremony of
the Sons of the Confederacy, a collective of chivalrous  romantics who wear
 swords and hats with feathers , think Bush is a liberal   and  drink
bourbon in great houses while trying to get a hand under the  hoop dress of
the hostess.
While Im no Houdini ;but I think they would have better luck on the
fainting couch ...anyway
At the solemn said hour  members of the guard will stand to attention , a
veil will be lifted and I will expose my balls for all to view >Py     ps
(film at eleven)
