Happy Thanksgiving!

I am thankful for my growing readership and the opportunity to be able to write about anything that strikes me.

I have been rather excited to see the Dallas Cowboys actually playing to the potential that each player has. That is a strange statement to make. These are grown men getting paid a lot of money to go out and play a game. I think that other industries should have the same exposure on them. The NFL is due to make 5 billion dollars in revenue just on the NFL Network deals that they have made with cable and other broadcast outlets. I would love to see them send some of that money into the school systems. Especially since they are building athletic programs up all over the place.

There was a guy nicknamed "Mattress Mac" and he gave a million dollars to the University of North Texas. The AD fired his friend the head coach. Mattress Mac took out a full page ad in the newspaper demanding that the practice field that was to name after himself be named after the fired Head coach otherwise he wanted the money to be moved to the music program instead. I say bravo for that but UNT decided to keep that condition so that they would not have to move the money. I now say that Mattress Mac should donate another million to the music program anyway!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Election Day!!

Did you vote?

If not, I don't want to hear any complaining from you. This is one freedom that should be protected by action. I stood in line for more than an hour to vote and still people got tired and left the line. I think election day should be a paid holiday but only if you can prove that you voted!!!!

FYI: my vote for gov in tx lost. Well it was a protest vote against the established two-party system. I really do not think that any independant will ever win an election.

Hope your canidate won, unless it was one that beat mine!

So the Cowboys lost to Washington. I was disappointed but not really surprised in the on-field antics of T.O. That little lay-down cost 15 yards. The end of the game was interesting in that the face masking penality was called a 15 yarder but should have been a 5 yarder from my understanding of the rule book. Oh well, next week will be here soon enough.

I only brought it up because I saw the game without snow. I have great picture now. But not as nice as the "Joneses" down the street. He has HD-TV. I really don't see the great difference as it is still just TV.

I cooked a steak on my new grill. I overcooked it because I am not skilled enough yet to time out the dual side cooking technique. Another steak is in the waiting.

Check out some of the people that I have linked in the Rattling Chains section. I don't agree with all of them but I do find them interesting reading.
