~Packers/Steelers ~ Jack LaLanne ~ Lucy ~ Peanut Butter Day

 
Good 33º morning.
 
 
 
 
 
 
Started the day out on a sad note, Jack LaLanne died yesterday.
He was 96 and apparently worked out every day, still.
He was certainly amazing.
  
    
 
Ok, I'm sad for the Bears and the Bear's fans. My friends, Suzanne and Phil, were there watching their team hit the skids. I can't believe it wasn't snowing  in Chicago!  So then, the Jets and Steelers. Oh my.... Thought for sure the Jets, my Kristen's team,  were going to pull it out. What a game. And 8º at the stadium in Pittsburgh! With the wind chill it was -1º. Oh my goodness, BURRRRRRR! So now, I'll be with the Packers when they play the Steelers ....The Packer's QB, Aaron (what a great name!) Rogers was born on the same day as my Darling, December 2nd. He is a California boy, born in Chico and went to Butte College. Go Aaron!!!!!! Besides, the Steelers have had enough SB plays and wins (6 and 1 ... they've made the trip 7 times!!!)  Tired of  Ben Roethlisberger, anyway!
 
 
So, Friday, after cleaning cupboards... I was watching I Love Lucy. The channel was KTLA in Los Angeles. Cal Worthington was advertising his cars from Long Beach. I couldn't believe that old codger is still alive!!! OMG, he looks soooooo old. Remember when he'd have a lion or tiger, or seal, or bear, laying on the hood of a car, calling him "my dog Spot"???    
Well I looked him up, born in 1920, he's 90 years old and still doing commercials!!! Amazing.
 
Oh and on California's Gold, Huell was at a See's Candy factory and talking about Lucille Ball doing that show on the candy conveyor belt....
 
 That was coordinated by See's Candy and one of their managers. Always so funny to watch! In fact, that show was on Friday too!
 
Historically this date....
not much of interest happened!
 
But, births this date include....
1917Ernest Borgnine, American actor
 
 
1918Oral Roberts, American evangelist (d. 2009)
 
 
 
 
 
 
1925Maria Tallchief, American ballerina
 
 
 
 
 
 
1939Ray Stevens, American musician
 
 
 
 
 
 
1941Neil Diamond, American singer
     
 
 
1941 – Aaron Neville, American singer
You would think, at some point, he would have gotten rid of that ugly mole!!!
 
 
1943 – Sharon Tate, American actress and Manson murder victim (d. 1969)
 
 
1946Michael Ontkean, Canadian actor
 
 
1949John Belushi, American actor (d. 1982)
  Interesting read,
especially about his death.
 
 
1968 – Mary Lou Retton, American gymnast
 
No dinner. Snacks watching football. Oink oink. Shudda been careful about the eating.... Oh well.... Had a nice fire and was snuggy. 
Too much excitement for one day. Next weekend is the All Stars and then on February 6th, the SuperBowl.
 
Happy Monday. Ciao.

The year we didn't go to the World Series was they year it was so cold- I THINK it was snowing. Don't remember exactly other than it was COLD and we were okay with missing it.

I remember the horror than gripped LA after the Tate- LaBianca murders. There are some things too sad to have any good come of them.

RIP Jack LaLanne. You were a GOOD role model right up to the day your parts all wore out.

Sue,

Oh how well do I remember Cal Worthington and his dog(s) Spot! Too funny! Jack LaLane! That man had muscles up to the end! What an inspiration! He was for healthy bodies before it was the "in" thing.

We certainly enjoyed the games yesterday. Both our teams won. Now as I have said, the only reason I picked the Steelers was because they are Rush's favorite team. Didn't want the Bears to win because if they had Obama would have been at the SB game. What a security mess that would have been! I must say tho that I fell in love yesterday with Aaron Rogers. What a doll.

Well it was a fun day! Enjoyed it!

XO Trisha
