I have had the pleasure if going out on a Black Friday morning only twice in my life. Once with my wife and once with my daughter who is a devoted Black Friday person for umpteen years. She studies the sale papers the day before and makes her games plan. Then it's early to bed and early to rise.Now that she lives in Texas she no longer has to stand for hours in the cold waiting for the doors to open and seeing the bargains of the year lined up on the store shelves. Racing down the aisles for that certain special item you stood in line to get only that the store only had 5 of and the person in front of you got the last one. There is no disappointment in learning this because you dash down another aisle to your next bargain picking up things along the way and wishing you had a motorized cart so you go faster.
I get up early that day and turn on the tv to watch as camera crews interview anyone they can grab on to and ask how is it going. The reply is always "WONDERFUL". What world are they in. You see, I do my shopping online starting at the stroke of midnight and then go to bed an hour later only to rise and watch the Black Friday shopper on tv while I'm drinking a hot cup of coffee and staying nice and warm.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE AND HAPPY SHOPPING!

DOES BRISTOL PALIN KNOW HOW TO DANCE?
In my opinion, NO SHE DOES NOT. I put her in the same category as Kate.
I must say I was really upset at the outcome of Tuesday night results of letting Brandy go and keeping Bristol. If she wins then you know something is wrong.
I guess I was not as upset as this gentleman in Vermont, WI. He is 67 years of age and was watching Dancing With The Stars and was enraged at Bristols routine. He didn't turn the tv off but instead got his shot gun and shot his television before turning the gun on his wife. His view was that Palin was not a good dancer and was only kept on because of her mother.
His wife escaped and this all lead to a overnight standoff with the SWAT team The home was surrounded and police managed to talk Steven Cowen out of his home. He is charged with second degree reckless endangerment and could face up to 10 years in prison.
What would he have done if Bristol won and received the trophy.
My bet as to the winner is Jenifer Grey.

THE SEASON IS OVER.
As much as I would have liked to see my grandson's team go all the way, things just don't happen that way. It was the second game of the playoffs and they lost by three points. Of course tears were flowing and heads were bowed they have to remember that the Killeen Patriots had one heck of a season without losing a game until now.
They will still get awards at their banquet dinner with Spencer and another young man getting a special award for their roll in winning so many games.
Just keep in mind that there is always next year boys.

ANOTHER WIN. NOW IT IS 9-0
Yesterday was the first of the playoff games for my grandsons football team, the Killeen Patriots.
They won with a score of 35-12. They have three more games to win and then it is off to the state championships. How exciting.
My daughter says that these little guys, ages 10-12, put on one heck of a game. A lot of action on the field and a lot of yelling in the stands and a lot of behind the scene activity between some of the coaches, parents and the refs.
A parent was seen talking to a ref yesterday and after that is was amazing how many penalty flags were thrown against our team with no explanation given on our side of the field, just the other side.
Come on ref's lets do the right thing and be fair.

THE NUMBER GOES TO 8-0
Last Saturday was somewhat of a Home Coming football game for the Killeen Patriots after going through a no loss season. Again they won with a outlandish score of 14-45 with the opposing team becoming poor sports after the Patriots got their first touchdown. They started fights on the field and this included the coach. Bad sportsmanship on their part. Grandson Spencer walked away with one sac, three tackles and one TD. Good job Spence!
Today starts the playoffs to see who will go to state. I'm praying and cheering for the Killeen Patriots and hope you will do so likewise.
Can't wait for the results tonight when Spencer calls me to tell me ya or nay.
