A Brighter Sun:
Today is one of those days that is a part of life. And, you never forget the smiles.
Happy December, E-v-e-r-y-b-o-d-y! It looks to be a cold one around here judging by forecasts for the next two weeks. But that is what December always has been, That’s why Santa wears big furry clothes. Unfortunately, we have been in the moneyed pockets of the Christmas season too long already, but those who still remember what Christmas actually means will still feel the spirit throughout the frenzies, Though we will all pause on December Seventh to remember those killed in that awful attack on a peaceful Peral Harbor. Yes we will remember the treachery of some but feel the hope of so many more. Happy end of 2025 everybody.
If you follow the newspaper weekend and holiday “Things-to-do” columns I can guarantee you one thing – You will be in crowds.
Remember back in1958 during the cold war when our country was abuzz because a 20-year-old pianist named Van Cliburn won the International Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow. It was a better road to peace than drones.

Nothing defines the irresponsibility often found in today's society than the move of Coach Kiffin from Miss to LSU leaving his players in the lurch on the eve of their well-deserved trip though the NCAA Championships, He should be banned for life. But some will say we live in a new era where athletes leave at the drop of a million or so. Yes, but Kiffin is the so-called adult, who should be setting a positive attitude. Where is the example of following through and finishing up.
So, three little pigs went to a restaurant. Two of them ordered sensibly for all three courses but the third for each course asked the waiter for lots and lots of beer. The waiter was curious and then asked why. Third pig said, "because somebody has to go wee, wee, wee, all the way home.”
Jeez, if I only learned grammar I coulda bin something.
New research says singing is good for your health. But my voice is cringeworthy for others.
AI crunching away successfully still requires an immense effort from the mechanical side of engineering.
Fuzzy Zoeller died at the you age of 74. He was joy to watch playing golf and he always drew a crowd to listen to his folksy humor and opinions. Unfortunately, he took a short journey into no-no land and some people will only remember him for that. You were the greatest, Fuzzy.
What a week of NFL games. The Tids{Pickers got killed the four pre-Sunday holiday games. Now tonight my Pats play the lackluster NYG’s and a win from them will give me a respectable record. But these are those woeful Giants who just happen to be good at stopping New England streaks – if you remember the Giants stopping the Brady led team after 18 wins in 2007. I will never forget that game and Eli escaping a sack.
Getting crowd smooshed at a Christmas sale could make you Claus-traphobic.
