THEY ARE NOW 4-0

Yes the number is now 4 wins 0 losses. Even though the other team at times were not playing and showing good sportsmanship the Killeen Patriots won with an outstanding score of 59-19.
This is strange. Because they are the only team that has won 4 games other teams are requesting an investigation of their equipment to ensure that it is regulation. What has that got to do with it? The team is good and they would probably play and win even if they were barefoot. It's amazing how adults (coaches) can turn kids sports into something that takes away from the pleasure of winning. Lets face it coaches, if your team was good they would win too.
Grow up and this goes for the ref's too. Don't show favorites.

WINDING DOWN.

Yesterday the weatherman was forecasting rain for the weekend and as I sit here writing this he was right for once. I chose not to go to the camper this weekend after hearing his report and waking up this morning to the sound of rain beating on my roof. Not only that but it is COLD outside. I guess we have to expect that when you live in this part of the country. Indiana.
At this time of year the snow birds (people who move to warmer climates for the winter) start leaving the campground. It get pretty lonely if your friends are not there.
In about two weeks the water will be shut off and that will officially end the season and I will not return until next April, God willing.
I have to go through the Holidays and the long do nothing but watch tv period until I can go back. The Holidays are not the same since my wife passed 5 years ago. I enjoyed doing the decorating and shopping with her, but now that is gone.
Looking forward to next year.

NUMBER THREE.

With win number 3 under their belts, Spencer's football team feels pretty good. For the three games that they have played, Spencer has a total of 21 tackles. I think that, that is pretty good. Whenever he makes a tackle he raises his arm and holds up a finger. In Saturday's game he held up one then two then three and four fingers. The players lined up and the ball was put into play. There was a scramble of bodies on the field and then a pileup. As the bodies rose from the pile there was one player still on the ground and that was number 57, my grandson Spencer. After a few seconds he moved raising his hand to show 5 fingers indicating that he was the one who made the tackle showing that he made 5 tackles in the game. Cheers and laughter filled the field with spectators and parents showing their pleasure with that gesture.
Way to go Patriots. Keep on winning.

WINNER AGAIN.

Spencer had his second football game yesterday in Santonio, Texas. He is on a traveling team so the family had to travel over 100 miles to get there. Spencer called me while I was on my way to a anniversary party. He was so excited he could hardly speak. The words that came out of his mouth were " we won with a score of 28 to 6 and I made three tackles". He really likes the game and is building a reputation amongst his team mates.
I can't wait for the next game. I hope they continue their winning streak although it is only 2-0.
Keep up the good work Spenc and your Patriots.

MURPHY'S LAW

Murphy's Law is a saying that what can go wrong will.
This is a story from today's paper 9-11-10.
A gentleman from Kokomo Indiana was traveling on Interstate 65 and got a flat tire on his Lexus. Put the spare tire on only to discover that, that was flat also. While filling the spare tire with air, it exploded when he overfilled it, ripping his shirt and bruising his chest and arms. In a case like that what do you do? He picked up his cell phone and in the middle of calling for help the phone went dead. This poor gentleman tried driving at about 20 to 25 mph to get to the next exit and to a tire store but didn't make it. His car was rear ended by a semi and each vehicle spun out of control. He was taken to the hospital with contusions and a laceration to his head. Nothing happened to the truck driver.
This man, you can say, had an interesting day.
