Happy Thanksgiving

We had a great Thanksgiving dinner today. But we missed some of our friends, Liz and Peter, and some of our relatives.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!!!!

Muhammad Ali Museum Opens

I've been a fan of the boxer Muhammad Ali all my life. Years ago, before the invention of the video recorder, I had to rearrange my life in order to be home on the right nights to watch Ali's fights on TV.

Ali was larger than life. He made boxing a must see form of entertainment. And it's interesting to note that after Ali quit boxing, I lost interest in the sport. I tried watching thugs like Mike Tyson but found myself disappointed time and time again.

Anyway, my point is that a Muhammad Ali museum opened today in Louisville, Kentucky. I plan on visiting it someday and truly believe that Ali deserves the honor he received today.

Bad Christmas Commercials

In the last two days, I've seen two really bad Christmas commercials.

Early Bird Specials: Kohl's is running a TV commercial advertising early bird specials for Black Friday using chickens racing down a road. Here's the problem: thousands of chickens and other types of birds are being killed because of the avian/bird flu threat. And this avian/bird flu has already killed people. This may not be the best time to use chickens/birds to advertise your sales.

Honda Holiday: Honda is now running commercials that say something like have a happy Honda holiday! Talk about the commercialization of Christmas!!!! How about Merry Honda and a happy new Honda? Or how about the twelve days of Honda. You get my point.

Snow arrived in Madison, Wisconsin, this week. 

Missy performing her first surgery. We're very proud of her.  

We don't have grandkids yet but we do have a grand-kitty now. This is a photo of Bailey. Missy adopted this kitten after she performed surgery on her.  

Jerry celebrating in this photo. He was in a bowling tournement last Saturday. His team came in 3rd and will be going to the Wisconsin state bowling tournement on Dec. 3rd.  

Jerry made a strike with this throw. 

Chas and William were at Jerry's tournement. 

Lisa and the boys were watching Jerry bowl at his tournement. You may want compare this photo with the one below of Justin. 

If you've been wondering what Justin has been up to lately, just take a look at this photo. I usually make him laugh but he got me this time. 

Jessie and Oscar are waiting for more trick or treaters. 

This is a kid that came to our door on Halloween wearing a table as a costume. What a great costume! There is a little hole in the table on the right side to place treats in.
