This blog has evolved into a series of rough drafts of thoughts and ideas that inhabit my brain. And if you read my blog regularly you realize an editor is worth their weight in gold, unfortunately I have neither. Also I still talk about the Dallas area and what is going on around here.

Black Friday night
And now it is Saturday morning...... and haven't been to the mall (yet)
Through a strange series of events la Senora y yo had hi-ball-litas con Crown Royal and watched the two benefit concerts John Lennon and George Harrison did in the early seventies.
It was always a shame that John never toured and especially a loss overall with him. I hate to say this, but John's show needed more rehearsal.
And for the concert for Bangladesh how ironic you have George, Ringo, Eric Clapton, etc, but no Rolling Stones, yet they were indirectly involved by the Hollyword Horns (their horn section when they toured featuring Jim Horn) and Leon Russell jamming Jumoin Jack Flash. What a way to get recognized without doing anything.
And more "how many people must die, before there are too many dead" an iconic line for this concert from a great song. Did Mr. Zimmerman pick this song with this line in mind?
Anyway it was fun to watch both shows,lots of memories
and great songs.
And I forgot to mention , how many people must die, hunger is still killing millions and we do have the resources and capabilities to fight. Too many are dying still

Happy Thanksgiving
Many of us gather around a large feast to give thanks to our blessings. A few people will have everyone share what they are thankful for (some begrudgingly lol) , and for way too many families people will go about their their own ways right afterwards. The good news not all families run from the dinner table.Either way I would like to ask each family to do even more together than they normally would this weekend and throughout the coming holidays.
A culture is defined by its' values. Lets put ourselves first again. There are many great attributes to our country and who we are and have been. Yet we are losing our identity because we don't preserve it. We are a nation of immigrants ( why this holiday came about), we bring many wonderful traditions to this country, but we all share one common goal. Everyone comes here to find a better life. Lets not forget.
Lets take time to give thanks today like the Pilgrims did, but let us also rededicate ourselves to striving to make this country wonderful. This post isn't about immigration (there are some changes that need to be made and nothing on the table from either side is the answer), but rather about all the shared cultures, the longing for something better, the drive to succeed, and the great country all of us has built.
Please spend time with your loved ones cherishing the history of your family, the dreams your ancestors had when they came here, and enjoy what we have done. Give thanks to yourself and remember though what we have is special. Enjoy the whole weekend with your family,build relationships, mend fences, and dream together.
Have a great Thanksgiving, help those who need help not just today, and remember where you came from....someone made an effort for you.
Happy Thanksgiving

a variety of comments
Typing while walking home from grocery store and bus stop. A beautiful fall evening here in North Texas, but please don't hang me on the spelling or editing and,this street needs more lights.
To me it seems strange they are making the Ferguson announcement at night. I would like to know the reasoning. Seems more practical to announce in morning. Too many people who just want to cause trouble might be the only peop out at that time.. I think more peaceful protests would be done in the day and rational thinking would be more inclined.
Walmart is still "the borg".
Please stay home with your familt Thursday. The so calked bargains Thursday night aren't that great. Go this weekend if you want and I a.m betting many of us are still on budgets so shop, spend your money wisely and get quality gifts for the people you love. Five a break to our minimum wage worker friends.
There is a relative good arricle on Slate.com.about the Republicans and the EPA.
The Mavs have got to win in games like the debacle in Houston the other night if they truly want to become contenders.
And I have been holding back getting excited about the Cowboys till we see December. Looks like we are here and in good shape. Can they overcome this month and themselves and really get to the playoffs? That being said, does this become the most important THANKSGIVING GAME in franchise history? Definitely not the most important game, just Thanksgiving game and if so for at least three reasons: 1. To start the process of over coming December meltdown 2. It is for ths conference lead 3. 3. It validates,Sunday's comeback 4. I am forgetting a reason I thought of early today, but I am sure true Coaboye fans can think of a few others anyway. I said start of last year ae needed a better O line. This game/ month coming could prove this has been the missing,link all along if they play well. Thursday is going to be fun for many reasons
Have a great evening and pray for those in Ferguson that a good decision is,made and those in Buffalo the weather doesn't tear them up too much.

Happy Veteran's Day
Happy Veteran's Day
Too bad this cold front came through and put a damper on some parades and ceremonies in some parts of the country.
Thanks to all who served.

Don't let the media fool you
Just because the media doesn't say there are choices beyond Democrats and Republicans, doesn't mean they don't exist. They do.
Go vote. Show the Reps and Dems they aren't representing the people anymore by voting independent. If you don't vote you are essentially telling them its okay to ignore us.
The future of our country depends on us taking action. Be strong
And on a completely different note, Romo should rest again this week. Better to let Weedon try to manage the game than risk losing Romo for the rest of the season

Romo's back
Romo should sit out for the next few weeks. After hearing the new info on his back, it would be much better for him to sit and heal than worry about winning tomorrow and screwing up the rest of the season.
It would be better to go 1-2 now so we have a chance to go 3-2 to finish season. That would be 10-6 for year and might be a chance to make playoffs. Playing now probably will kill any chance as he gets worse as the season wears on
The Mavericks have an interesting game tonight since New Orleans is suppose to be an up and coming team with talent. The Mavs need to show them selves they are who most of us think they are. Good test of pysche and veterans early on.
