November Rain

Well it is November but there is no rain. You can feel the November chill in the morning when you walk to the car, a few more weeks and there will be ice on the windshield, but luckily not today. Daylight savings time went into effect this weekend so the drive was a little lighter than last week. However with the early sunrise, comes the early sunsets, and a peculiar primal need to hibernate. Last night the early darkness caused me to fall asleep a couple of times, on the couch, in front of the television, watching the Steelers and the Ravens battle in a game that should have been a blow out. The Steelers end up scraping by with a single point victory. And with them unable to cover the 7.5 point spread, i will end the week with a mere 6 games in my football pool. A mediocre week in football, a mediocre weekend, yes fall is in the air. Tonight I will be heading to Vulcan for a game supper. The menu should include Antelope, Bison, Goose, Duck, Venison, Salmon and a few other regular fairs. Tappers will be going with me, and possibly his father, actually just called and it will just be him and I. The GrandMaster and a few DDGM's will be in attendance so it should be a good event to show our faces and to pass on fraternal greetings from Zetland. I really hope that a few more of the brethran will get active with visitation. But if not we will have to just do it ourselves and hope that by the time we ascend the chairs visitation will be a greater priority. I step up into the JD chair on thursday, which means a few more years and i will be in the big one, not sure if i am ready for it, but i will take it one day at a time. I guess i will close with a Hello to Jessica, the only other person who knows this blog exists. After reading her Blogs over the past weeks, i thought it might be fun to try, and so far so good. I am not sure how many people i will tell about it, but i guess that depends on the quality of my writing and the quality of my thoughts. And with that, i will bid the blog adieu.
