42 Years Ago ~ Randy Honeycutt ~ Right Foot Smart? ~ HSUS Rescue ~ Peyton Manning ~ Tom Brady ~ Peanut Brittle


Good 43º foggy morning. We did get some sun yesterday...late, about 1:30. Got it earlier other places. Today is supposed to remain cloudy and rain coming for Thursday again.

Breakfast yesterday... instant cinnamon oatmeal microwaved with buttermilk. Banana and oatmeal drizzled with honey. Mmmmmmmmmmm!!!!


One of Jerry's good friends, Randy Honeycutt passed away yesterday morning. He and Jerry were radio car partners at Temple. Thought the world of each other. I had just communicated with him via email a week or so ago. He had throat cancer. He sounded positive. He said some nice things about my Jerry. RIP Randy. You will be sorely missed by your family and friends!

Got this from Dave Clark (LASD ret) ... OMGOSH... this is so true! Try it! Really!


Yesterday was back therapy day. Ahhhhhh......
I subscribe to Paw My Gosh and here is the video of a blind puppy mill dog who has been adopted. Such a love...
The Humane Society of the US is one of the donations I make several times a year.
Short video, 2 min, re Peyton's finish and greeting Tom and his press conference with his 4 year old son, Marshall.
Just so you know, I am sad my Patriots lost, but on the other hand, since this is probably Peyton Manning's last season I'm glad he gets to go out in a blaze of glory! If the Broncos win the Super Bowl it will be even more awesome for him!

As for Tom Brady, Patriot's QB, he has had 6 trips to the Super Bowl, won 4. Won 3 Super Bowl MVP Awards. Been to 11 Pro Bowls. Has led the Patriots to more division titles than any quarterback in NFL history, with 13. His career postseason record is 22-9, his playoff wins total most in NFL history. He has thrown more passing yards and touchdowns than any quarterback in NFL postseason history. I think he'll be fine!
Historically this date....
1838 – Tennessee enacts the first prohibition law in the United States
..........what in the world were they thinking????

1920 – Former Ford Motor Company executive Henry Leland launches the Lincoln Motor Company which he later sold to his former employer.

1960 – Danny Heater sets a worldwide high school basketball scoring record when he records 135 points for Burnsville High School (West Virginia)

..... short interesting.. but he never played pro or college ...

1961 – John F. Kennedy appoints Janet G. Travell to be his physician. This is the first time a woman holds this appointment.

1998 – Lewinsky scandal: On American television, U.S. President Bill Clinton denies having had "sexual relations" with former White House intern Monica Lewinsky.
** and just think, 15 years later minus 2 days his wife lies when testifying before house and senate panels re Benghazi. Geeze, you wonder if those two even have a remote idea of what the "truth" is!!! I think not. Whatever paddles their boat is what they go with.

FedEx showed up with my new DirecTV controller. He said they deliver a lot of these! Made in China, and lousy, apparently! The new one turns on the box but not the TV. So the old one turns on the TV, but not the box! Duh.........
Later dinner was reruns. Chair, wine, TV.
All I know. Nuff said. Happy Tuesday. Ciao.

Peanut Brittle Day? Can I stand the temptation of a fresh batch until Gerry gets home??? Only Mr. Scale will know.

Rest in peace, Randy Honeycutt.

One of the saddest places on earth is the family room after a loss. Athletes are programmed to win. But, you are right. The sadness of disappointment dissipates with time. A career is not defined in a single moment- or even a single player. That was a well-fought game between two excellent teams. Not a game to leave your seats early.

That is what counts.
