It’s Friday! I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving. The girlfriend and I had our feast over at my mom’s place. It didn’t quite go as planned because my sister was very late, which made dinner late, which was ready hours before. After we ate I had some pumpkin pie that didn’t taste right. Ended up getting sick. Not my best Thanksgiving.
And so it begins. I’ve never been a Black Friday shopper, so you won’t find me out among the crowds storming the mall today. I’m far more comfortable doing my Christmas shopping online. Might have to get started on that soon.
Double babes, double jokes… enjoy.

It’s Thursday. Well, here it is, Thanksgiving time again. A time to gather with family and friends to eat large amounts of turkey, pumpkin pie, and cranberries in the shape of a can. It’s a time for traditions. One of mine is watching Planes, Trains and Automobiles every Thanksgiving morning. As with any tradition, it takes several years to form. I’ve lost count of how many years I’ve been watching it, but it would likely be when it was released on VHS. And back in the day, movies didn’t typically go to video until roughly a year after their theatrical release. So, it was released in theaters in 1987, which means it wouldn’t have shown up on video until 1988. If you do the math, it was a hell of a long time ago! Damn, I’m getting old.
Christmas Time Again
It’s Monday. With Thanksgiving now fully in the rearview mirror, the countdown to Christmas is on. Here at my place the Thanksgiving and Fall decorations have all come down and been replaced with all things Christmasy. I started to make space in my office for my car tree, which is currently a 3-foot pre-lighted tree that has severed me well. The problem is I get a few new car ornaments every year and over the past 7 years the tree is now getting overcrowded. I’m thinking that it may be time to upgrade to a 4-foot tree after the holidays.
One thing that was nice, the Bears didn’t lose on Sunday! Of course, they didn’t play Sunday because they were busy losing on Thanksgiving day. If you happened to see that Thursday game against the Lions, then you shouldn’t be surprised to hear that the Bears’ head coach Matt Eberflus is now the Bears’ former coach. The firing of Eberflus marks the first time in Bears’ franchise history that the team has parted ways with a head coach during the season. At the same time, the team announced Thomas Brown, who recently became the offensive coordinator, was elevated to interim head coach. The reality is the season was over for the Bears several games ago. Sadly, once again, we have to look forward to next year and hope for the best.
To kick off the Christmas season, I’ve decided to go with the Internet classic and favorite of mine, “Ding Fries Are Done” featured above. Enjoy!
