Today, we have friends coming over to help make several hundred (yes) Peanut Butter cups for the Corvette Club Holiday Party.
Coffee and chocolate-the inventor of mocha should be sainted.

After making 360 Peanut Butter cups, a thought:
The supreme accomplishment is to blur the line between work and play.

Since we've started the Christmas decoration extravaganza, a thought:
They've got plastic Christmas trees now. They're hard to tell from the real aluminum ones.

Rainy weekend in the Northeast. We've had rainy weekends for about six months now.

Today's "mission": assemble a pan of Lasagna and a pan of shells for freezing and future distribution. The lasagna to "Lasagna Love" and the shells as a Christmas Meal for the guards at the NY National Guard HQ.
We should look for someone to eat and drink with before looking for something to eat and drink.

Another Thanksgiving thought:
Not what we say about our blessings, but how we use them, is the true measure of our thanksgiving.

We're home for at least a few weeks. Maybe a day trip but nothing long term.
Awareness returning home is awareness being enfolded by what it knows.

Chores are on the agenda today.
There is no daily chore so trivial that it cannot be made important by skipping it two days running.

The Army Navy game is on tomorrow at 1500 on CBS. I thought a quote from a former player would be appropriate.
An atheist is a man who watches a Notre Dame - Southern Methodist University game and doesn't care who wins.

Motivation is simple. You eliminate those who are not motivated.
Lou Holtz Just a reminder: Army Navy game: 1500 EDT CBS. www.facebook.com/reel/3609419345964058Seton Hall VS Rutgers 2030 on FS1. The SHU RU game is one of the oldest collegiate rivalries. Never a dull moment. Unfortunately, I will be at a Holiday Party so no go. With my luck, this game will go to triple OT and be won by a last nanosecond shot.
