Thanksgiving and a Birthday

Thanksgiving and Andrew's birthday were celebrated over the past couple of days.  He turned 43 on the 21st and we shared a breakfast with he and his lovely fiancee Stephanie to start off the day at Breakfast Club which was outstanding as usual.  We had cake with the crew at our apartment and yesterday Thanksgiving was at his apartment with all fixings culminating with an UNO game including Shannon and Stephanie's  daughter Andie.  I ate too much of the wrong stuff which showed in my numbers this morning.  Eli beat me handily at Connect Four.  My strategic  skills are waning 

The best part was Shannon throwing her cards on the table after lots of urging.  

John F. Kennedy was assassinated on November 22nd 60 years ago this year.  It was barely a foot note in  the media.  This was a live changing event for those of my generation.  America was crushed.  The word terror was restricted to horror movies and books.  Mass and shooting were not put 

together in the same sentence.  The mop tops from Great Britain showed up on our shores on the following April and we started to heal as a nation.  

It's Black Friday.  I am not shopping,  with little interest in collecting more stuff.  

The Lions lost yesterday.  A disappointment but I guess the Packers wanted it more.  Still, it has been a remarkable season thus far. This inspirational coach has left his mark.  Probably not a Super Bowl year but the best in many decades.  

Thats it

enjoy your day 

all for now

stay safe
