First Day of the Year

The first day of the year started out not to well as my heart palpitated for a little bit but it did get back to its normal rhythm.

The local area is under freeze warnings tonight.

I played a lot of Halo 3 New Years Eve. In one game some kid on my team kept singing "Red rover red rover please run me over" throughout the entire game.
I also got to play online with my new buddy Mike. We played a campaign mission and I showed him a few place in one map to use to let his shields recharge.

Tomorrow my father sister will leave and I'm sure my dad will miss having her around.

My father seemed to have had a great time this Christmas.

I am looking forward to the rest of the winter.

Dec 24th 2007

It is now Christmas Eve day. All in all not a bad year so far. We where spared any hurricanes. My health is still good. I have only been to the emergency room once this year. My father is doing well and the cat still rules the house with an iron paw.

Also add Halo 3 being as good as the hype.
Some excellent tasting pecans, and peanut butter chews.
My friend who was in such grave straits seems to be doing better.

May next year be just as good.

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.

Dallas Cowboys Win

Idiots and Cell Phones

In a recent trip to a store I ran into a woman shouting into the air. She turn and I saw she was wearing one of those cell phone head sets. She was so enthralled with her phone call she had no idea of how rude she was being. She was ignoring everyone else in the store, blocking the way with her shopping cart carrying on a conversation so loud the dead could here her.

The sad part is she was trying to collect money for her church.
In her arrogance she has inconvenienced and annoyed everyone in the store but had served as a poor example of the people who attend her church.

Before you use your cell phone be aware of where you are and the people around you.

Dallas Cowboys 6
Philadelphia Eagles 10

Cowboys Win, Time Warner Loses

Dallas Cowboys 38
Green Bay Packers 28

In a game that I didn't get to see due to the childish bickering between Time Warner Cable and The NFL. Like most juvenile arguments this one is over money. So basically it was to big rich spoiled kids arguing over who controls the toys. However Time Warner may have suffered more than they thought. Several apartments complexes changed cable providers to companies that had no part in the argument. Also there was a wave of personal subscribers doing the same.

It would serve both parties right if their greed cost them money.

Cowboys Win

Dallas Cowboys 28
Washington Redskins 23

The Cowboys are still in the lead in the National Football Conference east division.

Go Cowboys!

That Time Of The Year

Fall is here and while it has not gotten much cooler the local stores are finally selling nuts. My favorite Pecans are going for 6 dollars a pound! So much for that bit of happiness. Once again something one can enjoy has been priced so only the rich can enjoy it.

Christimas Tree

In an effort to clean out the garage the Christmas tree has made its earliest appearance ever. It is decorated and waiting for Santa. And of course Bill the cat has chosen it for his new napping spot.
We hope to have a garage sale and raise a little Christmas cash.

Halo 3 ranking

I have been playing Halo 3 and have achieved the rank of Master Sergent. I think I have reached the highest rank my skills will let me. The game is still enjoyable however.

Halloween has come and gone and we had 30 trick or treaters. Last year we had none.

A real cool front.

Last night our first real cold front of the year. It's currently 59 degrees. It should remain cool until Thursday.

Cowboys win

Dallas Cowboys 24
Minnesota Vikings 14

In a game that was at one point tied at 14 all, the Cowboys claimed the lead an stayed ahead for a win. Next week is a bye week and the cowboys still hold their place as division leader in NFC East Division.

Great entrance...

We had a new cold front come in last night. It lowered today's temperatures by a mere three degrees. However, what an entrance! It had a light show (lighting), music (thunder), and ever water works. The winds gusts piled a ton of chairs that where placed around a hotel swimming pool into a huge group blocking a door. The wind ripped a few trees out of the ground and the thunder was so loud the salt and pepper shakers in my house where dancing in place. The damage here was nothing compared to Michigan. Whole houses being shredded in moments. It looked like a hurricane hit.

Fighters Stronghold

The fine folks who made the X Box 360 game Oblivion have released a free expansion pack for it called "Fighters Stronghold."
I just finished downloading it and will tell you more later.

Dallas Cowboys Lose

200th Post

This is my two hundredth post. What should I say to mark such a event.
GO COWBOYS!

Cowboys Win

Dallas Cowboys 25
Buffalo Bills 24

In a skin of your teeth game the cowboys won by a single point in the last two seconds of the game.

Breath In

I had my respiratory test today. I did basically the same as last years test. No improvement but no lost ground. I'm happy with that.
My visiting family and friends road off today on there Harley's. Three guys traveling America all by themselves, excluding laptops, cellphones, digital cameras, GPS. All they need is a satellite dish and to mount lazy boys to the engines and it would be like driving the house around. Well there still the bathroom problem to figure out. Give them time.

Cowboys Wing Big

Dallas Cowboys 35
Saint Louis Rams 7

In a game that started with the Cowboys taking an early lead and was soon tied by the Rams, then the Cowboys pulled ahead and stayed there. The Cowboys are 4 - 0 for the first time since 1995. 1995 was the last year they went to the Superbowl.
That game was won by the Boys 27 to the Pittsburgh Steelers 17.

Go Cowboys!
