AND SO ANOTHER NOVEMBER HAS COME AND GONE. THE POOL AT THE Y IS CLOSED FOR REPAIRS FOR 2 MONTHS. I MISS THE SWIMMING AND PEOPLE, BUT TOMORROW IS THE CHRISTMAS PARTY FOR THE 2 GROUPS. FIRST ONE I'LL BE ABLE TO ATTEND SINCE I'VE BEEN IN FLORIDA THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS.

THANKSGIVING WAS GREAT AT OUR DAUGHTER'S HOME. GOOD FOOD, GOOD COMPANY, AND LOT'S OF FUN. WE STAYED OVER THURSDAY NIGHT AND I SLEPT WITH 2 CATS, 2 KIDS, AND A COCKER SPANIEL. WE DEPARTED FRIDAY AFTER LUNCH BECAUSE THE LEFTOVERS WERE GONE.

SATURDAY WE WENT BACK FOR OUR GRANDSON'S 8TH BIRTHDAY PARTY. IT WAS HELD AT THE YMCA WHERE THE KIDS COULD ROCK CLIMB UP A WALL. MY WIFE WOULDN'T LET ME TRY EVEN THOUGH I RECENTLY PAID MY LIFE INSUANCE PREMIUM. THERE WERE 15 8 YEAR OLDS AT THE PARTY AND UNLESS YOU WERE ONE OF THEM, IT WAS JUST NUTS. AFTERWARD, ALL THE FAMILY MEMBERS WENT OUT FOR PIZZA.

ITS BEEN C.C.C.COLD THE PAST FEW DAYS, SO MY WIFE AND I WENT TO SEE "BOBBY". I ENJOYED IT BECAUSE I COULD REMEMBER ALL THAT HAD HAPPENED FOR REAL. THE MUSIC WAS GOOD, THE SCENES WERE VERY WELL DONE, BUT SOME OF THE ACTING WAS A BIT AMATEURISH. I ALWAYS WONDERED WHAT LIFE WOULD BE LIKE TODAY IF BOBBY AND JOHN KENNEDY AND MARTIN LUTHER KING HAD NOT BEEN KILLED.

CAN'T WAIT FOR DEC. 28. WE HEAD TO FLORIDA FOR THREE+ MONTHS.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS

MARTY :big_grin:
