As the year closes…

After my first mini-vacation (I had Christmas and the day after off…I am off to work after this post.), I am thinking about Christmas and here’s my thoughts:
-My son still loves Cars. We watched it on Christmas Day.
-James Brown has passed away. That’s not a song title. He really is. Dilla and the Godfather of Soul in the same year…sad but, we still have this…
-Gerald Ford is dead too. I was born during his 2 year and 5 month term in the White House…he and I also share a birthday: July 14th.
-I saw pics of my dad and I saw one of him eating. It was fairly recent and it made me think of one of the last things he said to me..
“Don’t be a knucklehead like your old man”
I didn’t get it when he first said it but he meant “don’t make the mistakes I made”. To me, one of them is not eating right. I miss him.
-I have 3 work days left in this year.
-The Browns BETTER beat Houston.
-I hope the Cardinals don’t fire Denny Green.
-What kind of complaints will the sports media come up with after Ohio State runs the table again?
-How will Ted Strickland do as governor of Ohio?
