I expect to gain 3.3 lbs. This week. 90% of it on Thursday. Ah man. Can’t wait to just pig out and sleep. Like most Saturday afternoons for me.
It’s also the signal to setup the Christmas tree. Time to drag it out of the garage. Maybe even decorate outside also. We haven’t put any lights outside in previous years but this year I have the itch. Should I go with a massive inflatable ?
From occasionally observing this outbreak, it doesn’t seem like the world is putting much effort in containing this.

That’s right, the US had 4 patients now. Worldwide, 4951 deaths have occurred.
On a lighter note, I expect the skins to make it deep into the playoffs. After beating the Cowboys, RGIII is coming back and we have a bye after the Vikings. Never mind the fact they are 2 and 6 so far.
The controversy is getting pretty heated regarding the Redskins name. I guess the name has been thrown around for so long, that some people have just assumed it’s part of the everyday vernacular. I would a assume, almost any term relating a color and a skin attached to it, would be inapporiate. For example, would The Washington YellowSkins or The BlackSkins be accepted. I would guess not. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redskin_%28slang%29
If the “skins” don’t change their name by the end of the season, I will find a different team to cheer for. Unless they make it to the Super Bowl, then I will give them one more season. 🙂
And Deepa and I were the only 2 people in the theater. This is really strange for several reasons. The theater is in Columbia. Massively popular move ( Captain America, Civil War). To be fair it was the last showing (9:40). I am pretty sure no one was left in the building when we left at midnight. By no one, I mean not even staff was present when we left.
I still don’t fully understand the business model of theaters. Oh well, something else to learn about.
Redskins vs Patriots
This was a good summer. Although there are a few weeks left, it’s already starting to feel like fall in the morning.
I do feel like going camping soon. I miss the smell of a campfire on a chilly crisp night.
