Brown Thursday

WTF. Look at what the media and retailers have done to my precious Thanksgiving. The craziness of Black Friday forced stores to open earlier every year and now it has crept into Thursday, spawning the name Brown Thursday. Yuck. Who decided on that name? Why brown? Why don't they just call it the Thanksgiving Day sale? Or better yet, stop opening on Thanksgiving Day! Let those employees stay home with family instead of dealing with those deadbeats at Walmart. The media and retailers just turned a family holiday to dookie.

End of the season

The fall soccer season came to a close last weekend and with eight games played... Jacob scored 11 goals, or so that's what he told me (I wasn't keeping track) and Andrew scored a gazillion goals, or something close to that, but I do know he had a couple hat tricks (3 goals in a single game), including the final game. Yes, I know... run-on sentence. Terrible writing.

Goodbye uncle

Last week my uncle passed away. It was quite sudden. Unbelievable. No one saw this coming at all. With grandma, you could see her slowly deteriorating so mentally you prepare for the inevitable. But with my uncle, nope.

Turtle power!
