Poor Atticus didn't win the Powerball.

Went to bed late after watching a movie about a teacher with a penguin in Argentina in 1976. Good show.

Slept until 6:20 when an alert text for a problem at work woke me up. Went back to sleep until 7:15 or so

Lots of fire trucks making noise in Galveston right now.

Outside kitties want to eat. They need to avoid the urban coyotes. Mom saw one running down the street in broad daylight recently.

Church in a bit and then some kind of Christmas party at a high rise condo with people my mom knows.

20mph winds with gusts to 35mph this morning.

Need to finalize Christmas plans.

Windy and cold on the Rio Grande this morning after sweating in the blind yesterday. I could see Mexico from my blind.

Just drove by the cruise terminal. That MSC ship is big!

4F when I woke up this morning. Coldest morning of the season so far. Not a cloud in the sky and currently 16F on our way up to 19F. I love cold and sun, but this is a bit much. Dewpoints are a little below zero, and I'm shocking everything I touch.

I've been talking with a couple of my friends from high school, and they want to get together in 2026. Last time we were all together was Labor Day 2019 in Las Vegas. They're talking about Branson, Memphis, or Nashville this time. I've driven through Branson any number of times. The highway is littered with billboards for entertainers that you'd forgotten existed, but I've never exited. I sort of want to see Branson.

Currently watching the Chiefs game and will go shopping at halftime. Cold enough I've overruled the hoodie and ballcap today for Benny. It's coat and hat weather.

-writing a contract

But there's always Monday.

Went to lunch with mom and four ladies from church. They are all in their 70's or 80's. One might be in her 90's.

First thing when we sit down the lady next to me pulls out her phone, fires up a live stream of the Texans game, and props her phone where she can check in on the game.

Then she turns to me and starts talking about Mike Evans because she has known him since he was four years old. She recapped all of his catches against Atlanta last week.

She was a hoot!

Thats future me with buffalo

I can see that.

In case you didn't know, A&M is playing Nebraska right now on ABC. Great match so far. (Won first 2, thus 3rd one is iffy)

Edited. Going to set 4

Dang cold today in sunny west Georgia/east Alabama. Temps dropping to about 18 tonight before slowing rebounding back into the mid to high 50s this week. Church today. I think oatmeal may be dinner tonight.

What.a.match!!

Way to go Volleyball!

It was in the low 60s here today.
Broncos win again, we beat the Packers.
12-2 on the season now!

Why do people live where the weather is cold?

Because the cold kills everything, and I have zero allergy problems in winter.

Currently 13F in Mid-Missouri.

Enjoy. Golf tomorrow in shorts.
