Grandson Mitchell’s varsity football team lost Friday night in the second round of the State Championship playoffs 27-24. It was a great “run”. Congrats Mitchell.
I see that Minneapolis is expecting 3-6 inches of snow tonight. Really? I’ve got to find out if the doctor will let me run our snowblower. If not, your Mom is going to have to learn how to operate it! I’ll take pictures.
Also tonight, Grasshopper No.5 in Minneapolis is supposed to pick up a shiny, brand new SUV. She said something about a “good deal”. Why am I driving crummy old used cars?
I am not exactly a financial genius but when the Green Bay Packers see their star quarterback fall on a heap during the first quarter of last night’s Bear game, that is called a financial setback. When you pay your franchise player $20 million per year and he breaks a collar bone, that is not good. I am not a betting man, but if I were Matt Flynn (the quarterback they let go last year), I would pack my bags for Green Bay.
This week the earth moved. Your Mom suggested that maybe we should look for a new HD televison for the basement. That is like telling “Tim the Toolman” that you want a new addition on your house. Bigger! Better! Using tools with more power! Ho,ho,ho! So we spent several hours yesterday looking for this HD beauty. The old TV set is 21 years old. Where were Grasshopper No.1, No.2, No.3, No.4 or No.5 when you need them? They are all self proclaimed experts. I’m sure they would have helped us make the right decision. Believe it or not we found a HDTV ourselves. We did not buy the 3-D feature because we couldn’t afford 8 sets of 3-D glasses. Besides the last couple we knew that bought 3-D had to wait 6 months to get delivery of their glasses. Now we can watch Packers franchise players fall on a heap in high definition.
Daylight saving time has brought darkness in early afternoon. I think that causes depression.
Stay warm.
Love,
Dad
