My “sources” tell me that Grasshopper No.1 lost her little kitten. The little darling somehow slipped out a door and disappeared. The story has a good ending. 24 hours later, our son-in-law used his super hearing ability and heard a feeble “meow” from under the bushes in front of the house. The kitty is okay. Aawwwww. So all is well that ends well. Tigger is safe (or maybe it’s name is Tufu or Tiger or something like that)! Fortunate!
Today is 11/11/11. The only thing significant about the date is that the same number array will not appear for 100 years. Maybe it will create lucky circumstances for someone.
Yesterday was 11/10/11. My Dad died on that date 54 years ago.
Today is Veterans Day. My personal thanks go out to all that have served and to those that have lost loved ones in all the Wars. My Dad’s brother, Robert Jack (my Uncle Bob, 87) served in World War II as I have chronicled in the past. Today Uncle Bob is in a nursing home in Sarasota, Florida with dimentia. It is hard for me to believe that this fun-loving, vibrant war hero, commercial airline pilot and all-around good guy is in need of constant care. My thoughts go out to Bob on this day. He is indeed a member of the “greatest generation”.
Everybody can rest easy. No more snow for awhile. I put my snow tires on Thursday and it never snows when I am ready. I also changed the oil in my snowblower along with a new spark plug. Now if I can just get your Mom to run the machine. Yeah, right.
Next week the Packers start selling stocking stuffers. For about $250, you can buy one share of stock in the Green and Gold. It has no resale value and the most you can say is that you are a booster and stockholder. Otherwise, the stock certificate might look good in your trophy case. of course I can think of a lot better uses of $250. Inflation has set in. In the mid-1990’s I paid $200 for one share. I’m going to leave it to my 5 kids. Lets see you divide that sucker up 5 ways.
Packers play Monday night. Lambeau. Minnesota Vikings. MNF on ESPN. Does it get any better?
Love
Dad
