It was a sad week in football for me and my friends. Amy's Packers were humiliated by the Lions, Andy's Cowboys were trampled upon by the Dolphins and my Steelers were mocked by the Colts. The only person's team to pull thru this week was Vikki's Patriots who escaped defeat by the skins of their teeth. Hopefully next week will fair better for all of us.

Other than football news, The Christmas Tree went up this afternoon. It's a real beauty. We dragged it up from the basement and replace some lights. This puppy could out-shine the airport revolving light 1/2 mile from my house. I'm pretty sure this one tree has more lights on it than the four outside trees combined. But it does look good and a few birds will have a home a little while longer.
