It's more like Cyber Month will all the emails from stores that I get every day. Some stores send out 3-4 a day. I'm not even sure how some of them have my email address unless Radio Shack sold them my info that one time I bought batteries!
It's pouring rain right now. Luckily, it's warm enough that it's not snow. Coco had basketball practice tonight and now he has it again at 6:30am followed by a game tomorrow night. It's like they are in the NBA.
Winter parking rules go into effect tomorrow and it's tough during blizzards for those of us on Milwaukee's Eastside. It happens every year but yet the politicians offer no solutions. I won't complain because I knew the problems moving in and I chalk it off to the price you pay to live somewhere cool!
There's a new bestseller on the New York Times list and it's actually an old classic. Since the Paris attacks The Moveable Feast which is set in Paris has gone to number one. It's written by my personal favorite Mr. Ernest Hemingway. He's been gone since 1961 and he still has it. Thanks Papa.

End Of Hurricane Season
Tomorrow is the official end of Hurricane season and Florida escaped any serious storms. The weather here looks good for the next 10 days with high 30's and low 40's so we're looking good.
Coco had soccer practice again tonight and he looked really good. Even got some shots off in practice but the goalie made some real nice saves. Basketball practice for him tomorrow then 2 games this week. They started off with a win last week. They've never lost a game yet ever and this is their 3rd season together. He actually started the first game.
Bug paid us a visit today and Krissy took her for a long run with her friend Ruth Ann.
Just finishing up some work and going to bed hoping for a great week!

On The Road Again
A long day on the road to Illinois and back but a good time had by all at my sister Cindy's house for a very nice dinner.
Guy Lewis the legendary retired coach of the University of Houston passed away this week. Twice he was the Coach of the Year and had some high flying teams in the 80's.
We went through 8 to 10 tolls on the round trip to Illinois and back at a 1.40 a toll. If Wisconsin goes the way of the toll roads I'm pretty sure I would move fairly fast.
Going to bed now!

Green Friday
With all the rain we received these last 2 weeks it's quite green out for this time of year. I'm still feeling good about that Bears victory last night!
A rather uneventful day except for the right rear blinker going out on the Jeep. It does tell you though on the dashboard that it's out. Not an expensive repair but getting the tail light cover off was a time consuming event. No screws but plugs that you have to pry off. Very bizarre.
I even took a trip to the mall. Not really that crowded and parking still available. I'm betting online sales were huge!
We've been watching that Hunting Hitler show on the History Channel. Out of all the shows this one has some validity to it rather than rampant speculation. I've been doing some research on it and many people at the time felt like Hitler did indeed escape. Argentina seems to be the popular landing ground for him if it happened.
Now Coco and I are putting a Hot Wheel track together. Talk about a company making some green!!!!

Bears Win On Turkey Day
What a fabulous Thanksgiving. The Bears win at Lambeau Field on Brett Favre's retirement number ceremony. That just made my night and my week and my month!!!!
Krissy, Coco and I spent most of the day in Illinois at her family's place. A wonderful spread as usual and great company.
It's been pouring rain all day was the only downfall. But it didn't bother me at all. Because the Bears WON!!!
Get some sleep and thank you to everyone who reads my blog from time to time. Especially someone in France today and I wish nothing but peace to France. I look forward to the day I visit!

Comedy Cafe
The streets of Milwaukee have been a little less crowded today with many people leaving town for the holiday. It seems to happen most holidays. Krissy and I headed over to Victor's and met Christy and Tony for drinks then our venture to the Comedy Cafe.
I've never been to Victor's before 10pm before. It's like a time warp from the 70's but they had a free Thanksgiving buffet which was very good. Then they have a bus that transports everyone to the Comedy Cafe.
The first two acts were pretty weak but Nate the third guy was pretty good. Kevin Williams was the feature act and he was very good. Then back to Victor's via the bus and now we're home and ready for bed. We have a two hour drive tomorrow.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving everyone!

One Expensive Dress
One of Judy Garland's dresses from the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz just sold 1.56 million bucks. The other one in existences sold for less than half of that 3 years ago so the economy must be picking up. The Cowardly Lion costume sold for 3 million bucks a few years ago. I'm willing to bet that the whole film cost less than that to make in 1939.
Adele is going to be on Saturday Night Live this Saturday. She just broke a 4 day record for total sales. Not a bad Christmas for Adele. I wish she would have done the last Bond film title song. She was brilliant with Skyfall!
I ventured to the grocery store today for less than 10 items. Lets just say it was an adventure. Tomorrow night will be even worse. In 2007 I took my Toyota FJ Cruiser into a grocery store underground parking lot the night before Thanksgiving. It was too tall and I took out a piece of duct work and had to back out with a line of cars directly behind me. That was a 30 minute debacle with plenty of people swearing at me. Good times!
