Communities:
If you happened to watch the ed of the Ohio State-U Michigan football game yesterday, you witnessed boisterous happiness. Like kids when they come down to see presents under the tree, like parents when they see their first born. Like when two in love see each other across a crowded room. The essence of human achievement is fulfilled in undiluted, unconditional happiness, whether or not you want to believe that. And when I watched the gleeful gathering throng in An Arbor yesterday, I was privileged to enjoy America giddiness at its finest. Like we see all the time on fields, on stages and in arenas I all exceptional; endeavor levels across America. It’s always about the hearts of good people in united communities.
By far the best ever barn raising seen in a movie was that in Harrison Ford’s Witness. Well, I guess there haven’t been lot of great barn raising scenes, but when you find them they are something to savor, always representing quite nicely community unity at its highest level.
There is something about hearing Jimmy Durante beginning to sing “Frosty the Snowman” that makes you feel special all over again about the coming of the Christmas season. Like all of a sudden it is now ok to go out and buy a Christmas tree.
The news shuffles the past two-three days has been a hourly release that all read similarly. “First two Omicron cases reported in Australia… in UK,… In Thailand… I Peru…In Spain… The media has raced to interview all of the experts who generally have said “We don’t know too much about it.” The South African doc who first discovered it said, “Don’t panic, it seems mild”. Yet Wall Street panicked and Politicians are diving in to further annuluses among good people. And we basically don’t know anything of substance.
The word behind the DC scene is that Jerome Powell regained his Fed Chief spot because he promised Bide that he would execute banking strategies that would make it palatable for banks to underwrite Joe’s main objective, funding climate change programs.

Mall chaos, Department:
Flash mob to Smash mob – is that about it, the end of a civilized world? No! Human values will rise again.
Dumb Headline of the Day, Department:
“Shippers preparing for Holiday Crush.” Of course, they are.
Christmas season just arrives earlier and earlier. Proving once again that the spirit of Christmas now lies buried in a pile of credit card receipts.
Every entertainment institution is now trying to get paid for streaming what they used to offer for free. They have entered the real TV “Ratings” world judged by the pocketbook, and some will find that is isn’t working so well.
Quotes that have been sent my way, Department:
George Carlin: “Governments don’t want well informed, well-educated people capable of critical thinking. That’s against their interests. They want obedient workers, people who are just smart enough to run the machines, and do the paper work. Ad just dumb enough to passively accept it.” -- Ronald Reagan: “Keep voting democrat – One day they will restrict your freedoms, restrict your history and restrict your safety. All in the name of professional victims that don’t understand the consequence of their ignorance.”
I also saw heartbreak when in the last second Auburn lost a victory what was in their hands as a receiver caught a perfect pass from Alabama freshman QB Brice . The focus was on the disappointment and not the elation of the other teams amazing moment. Auburn outplayed Alabama all day until that single death strike. Human life is filled with drama.

The Answer:
The great Erie Davis of Syracuse wo tat trophy in1962. He also won the hearts of his Syracuse fellow students and the alums by doing pretty well at what everybody thought was impossible – relacing the even greater Jim Brown, who had graduated. Jim Brown should have been the first Black man to win the prized trophy. I remember being in a bar in Elmira, the hometown of Ernie just after he died so young. I talked to the bartender and people around me and was touched deeply by a profound heart wrenching feeling of those people. Ernie in that town was fa r more than a high school hero, and great college player. He was a contributor, an honorable young man i a community. In 1962 just after he was made the first pick I the 1962 NFL draft we was diagnosed with leukemia and died shortly thereafter at the age of 23. Bonus: Kelly McGinnis was tee woman took Hollywood by storm after her debut in Witness. She followed it with an award-winning performance in Top Gun. If oyu ae ever ithe mood to read a drama of human r tragedy read telif eof Kelly.
People working together, helping each other I community efforts has always been at the heart of a better America.
