Grandson Mitchell shared some of his favorite music downloaded from the internet onto his laptop computer and projected with a sound bar. It centered around “working out” to get into shape. His favorite song has a bouncy beat with “rap style” lyrics. It goes “I’m sexy and I know it and I’m not afraid to show it. I work out. I work out. I work out.” Some of the remaining lyrics get kind of racey. Mitchell developed some dancing moves to accentuate the music. Silly. Silly. How do kids find this stuff?
The Green Bay Packers have sold $43 million of worthless stock certificates in 2 days. They are 75% of their way to their goal. I thought we were in a recession. I’m sure the stock is not being bought by big corporations. What have the “Occupy Wall Street” crowd got to say now? The stock probably was bought by our government who is used to making investments for a loss.
While talking recession, I notice the UW Badgers sold out their allotment to the Rose Bowl within minutes. Where is all the money coming from?
Our Christmas tree goes up today.
Tomorrow we attend the traditional Christmas program sponsored by Xavier High School. The program began years ago through the efforts of one of Mom’s friends. It now has 10 performances over a week’s time and each performance is “packed”. It is a reminder that Christmas is not about spending money. It is about the birth of the Christ child and the meaning that has for mankind. Do something “Christmas-y”.
Packers Sunday. Lambeau. 30 degrees at game time. Their perfect record is on the line.
Pull your “long-johns” out of the drawer.
Love,
Dad
