To wiki or not?

Snow Flurries ... is it that time yet. One thing I don't like about Winter is the cold that comes through my office window. It is about a 12x12 foot single glass pane that conducts every degree ( or lack thereof) of the 39 degree weather. It sure makes thinking of the warm Southern Caribbean a nice thought. Can I click my heels and go there now?

Well, I broke down and goofed up. I went Christmas shopping and got most of it done. All that is left is the wrapping. I guess I can make one mistake in 56 years and be forgiven. I have a few things left and an anniversary present left. How long do you have to be married and then there will be no need buy the anniversary gift?

Wild Mom is fine and trying to decide about going to a wedding in England and Christmas in Tennessee. Decisions - decisions. Lady is getting into the Holiday spirit and thinking about the Christmas tree location in the house. Actually, the question is what toys will have to be move to make room. #1 is working and dreaming of a new bowling ball, as if that will help him do better against me. Well, I guess everyone is allowed a pipe dream once and a while. #2 is erratic in his work schedule ... almost like he is just a fill in for the sick ones. A phone call from Star was nice last night. She is well and in the pursuit of a new job. Hmmm, cotton picking and peach picking come to mind. AJ is spending several days a week at a friends while Peanut works. I miss him in the morning now. That playtime was fun. Oh well, all I can do is wait and make the best of the rest of the time. Lew and Lil Princess will show up tomorrow and liven up our weekend. Sunday, a day of rest ... since when?

During a discussion this week that involved a question concerning forgiveness, I found a very good and interesting article on "forgiveness." I will let you decide its merit.

Well, OJ got what he deserved for his Las Vegas antics. I may never understand why money and fame give you some right to do what you please even at the expense of someone else.

Don't you just love that the Detroit CEOs are double dipping. They want around $34 Billion in bailout money and at the same time are asking for some $20 Billion from the Dept of Energy money. Of course, don't tell the public so they aren't aware of just how broke the Automotive world is. Will they as promised only get $1 a year if the Bailout money is made available? However, how much will they get of the other money ... the end effect being they get everything they always did plus $1. I also loved the answer to the question of would they ask more more in a year or so and they answered, "a high probability." When do we stop paying for a broke business. They have been in a decline for the last 25 years and now want us to bail them out. In a capitalistic system you are guaranteed success only if you have a good product or service at the best price. Obviously, the Detroit CEOs don't. So why should we continue to let them suck us dry for they benefits. As for getting to D.C. , did they drive or a chauffeur? Did they drive the biggest and most lavish vehicle available ... or something economical and reasonable? Why not carpool since they all three were coming from the same place to the same place and back? At time I think they think we are too stupid to understand that they are taking advantage of us. I fail to respond when they stand there in their $100 starched and monogrammed shirt with sparkling cuff links and Rolex watch. And I am supposed to make a sacrifice for their opulence?

Big football weekend ... Alabama vs Florida for the SEC Championship. GO GATORS!

Will the God's prevail and the Raven's defeat the Redskins?

For Further Thought ... I am considering setting up a family wiki. A place where we can write our thoughts and have people write back their thoughts or you make comments on someone else's thoughts. Of course, it would be limited to the family and not the whole world. What do you think?
