Thanksgiving '09

Nothing says Thanksgiving like meeting the Hiawatha Gang at Hard Times Cafe. While waiting for the boys I spoke to a guy who was released from jail this morning. He said he wasn't 'loitering' with an open container. He said he was walking with a liter of vodka.

Happy Thanksgiving

Give your mother an extra big hug for those of us who can't.

If you get hungry eat something

I'm pretty sure this stolen bike poster was off Twitter a while ago and I may have used it already but who cares?

Laying around the house eating leftovers, petting dogs and downloading songs off Itunes while wondering how you're getting along in your little cubicle. 14 minutes to college basketball, sporty.

Yay, Earl Heimes lives!

Ma speculated that her brother-in-law was dead but a little internet investigation led to this discovery. Let's form a posse and hit every nursing home in the Kenosha area to find him. The great Dorothy Heimes will live in our hearts and parlors forever.

Why I see you have a set of pipes

Fridays

A nice young fellow who stops in at Midtown gave me this hat this morning. Little old ladies knit these gems for the kids at the school where he teaches. I guess there were extras because kids would rather freeze their ass off than wear a hat. The hats may be a little too colorful for most of the kids, too. Mother learned how to knit (it probably took her all of two minutes to learn) in the early 80's and made many colorful gems such as this.

We miss you baby but your stamp is on just about every facet of our life.

American League MVP announced

I was named AL MVP today by League President Hurl in a ceremony at the prestigious CRC Coffee Bar. Hurl, who has cool in his DNA, made the presentation of the Rollo bobblehead trophy to me over coffee. Neither Rosenberg or Sarah Palin could be reached for comment.
