Out Of My Mind On A Tuesday Mornin’
Tuesday, December 27th, 2011
Loading ...Speaking of the last few days, I think this past Friday to yesterday were the fastest four days in history. With another long weekend coming up, will that go by any slower?
2011 will go down as the year for Michigan sports. Even the Lions made the playoffs. If those miserable Lions fans who went to every game over the past 10, 20, or 30 years, what are they like today? Giddy beyond giddy.
Speaking of giddy, Daniel (my Duke soon to be graduate) played in his first poker tournament and came in 5th place. He was the chip leader until he ran into A-K while holding A-Q. No doubt A-Q is one of the cruelest hands of all.
It looks like Santa didn’t come for Sears. Sales down 4.5% and they are closing 120 stores. Who shops at Sears anyways? Or Kmart? Look for some big changes to come.
The iPad was the hottest gift of the season along with the iPhone 4S. But other than a few toys, there wasn’t anything that was must have. No pet rock item this year.
Max and Essie called us at the home to wish us happy holidays. It sounded like Max was drunk but he hasn’t had a drink in his life. Perhaps he was just giddy realizing he has no bullshit to deal with anymore.
Starbucks is loaded with Christmas merchandise after Christmas. Don’t feel bad for them, they sold on average 42 gift cards every second.
I love the Christmas holiday season but the day after Christmas I don’t want to see or hear a single Christmas thing. Is there anything more sickly than a Poinsettia plant after Christmas?
What a great time of the year to eat, drink, eat, drink, and eat and drink. Burgers, fries and pizza still rank at the top.
Love winter so far. Sunny days, warm weather and easy driving. I had a great 10 mile outdoor run on Sunday. Heck, if winter’s stay like this, Michigan will become a growth state once again.
And yes, Michigan finally recorded its first growth in employment since 2002. But until the level of education and lifelong learning increases, future growth will be dubious.
How many apps have you downloaded that you never use?
Is Ron Paul the real deal?
I’m ready for 2012. More on that next time around.
Happy Tuesday!
