Sunday thoughts

    Unlike most holidays (O.K., I know that 9-11 isn't a holiday) the memory of yesterday lingers on and will do so for probably a week at least. I talked to lots of people (at the Legion) yesterday and a recurring theme was "where were you?". It was the most commonly asked question yesterday.

    The ever-sweet Ms Hilda and I watched the football game on Thursday ... the NFL season is finally here. We rooted for different teams (nothing unusual there). I am watching the Bengals and the Patriots as I write this ... we cannot afford the NFL Ticket package on the cable, so we have to take whatever NBC, ABC, CBS, Fox and ESPN offers up. Today there is this game and the Panthers vs Giants, Cardinals at Rams, and Dallas and Washington. This game I am watching has 4 of the best receivers extant with Ocho Cinco (should actually be Ochenta cinco, as he is 85, not 8 - 5), T.O., Randy Moss and Wes Welker. The Pats moved 72 yards down the field for a score first possession. We are sticking close to home today,lack of funds, although I have to go to the Legion for a few minutes later today to get a document from the commander. I have to give his 'Post' presentation at the American Legion District 2 Meeting on the 19th, as he and his wife will be in Waxahachie, Texas visiting relatives. Hilda has to go to the Auxiliary District meeting because she is on the E-Board and is the historian, so it's no problem for me to go.

We have to do some minor grocery buying today, then a snack-type afternoon and some movies (after the Cardinal game). We'll have some breadsticks or some pizza or maybe a frozen Bertolli entree of some sort. We'll probably be watching the remainder of year two of Hamish MacBeth ... great British (BBC Scotland) TV series from the mid 90's. Really a cute show, only ran for three years. We watch a lot of BBC series', especially mysteries. They are so much more character driven and far less violent (usually) than US mysteries.
