Doesn't it seem that as Christmas retailing has expanded - first to Black Friday, then to before Thanksgiving, to now even before Halloween - that these other holidays have been greatly diminished? This was perhaps the weakest turnout for kids I can remember. And I' not alone.

Sunday Flotsam and Jetsam

Have a new miscellaneous thoughts and observations post up on Substack.

The change to Daylight Savings got me today. I didn't wake up thinking it was the wrong hour - I woke up thinking it was the wrong day and started putting the trash out. Doesn't change the fact I got a full 8 hours of sleep after watching UNC almost pull off the huge upset over Miami last night.

Halloween Flotsam and Jetsam

When my kids were younger - my wife would go with some neighborhood moms and the kids around the neighborhood for trick or treating (while the moms enjoyed some wine). My job was to stay home and pass out candy (with one eye on whatever game was on TV). Sort of nostalgic for those days.

Today's offering a little late as I stayed up to watch the Cowboys roll over the Eagles on Monday Night Football (or MNF as the cool kids are abbreviating it). Think this all started with Saturday Night changing their name to SNL back in the day.
