Just finishing Pearl Harbor day. Not too many left from those days as this is the 70th anniversary.   Pearl Harbor day was December 7th 1941, and my Father enlisted on December 8th 1941.  Must have been weird to know someone bombed us on our land.  Generally we think of war as an "away" game, and of course we took it to the other lands and well you know the rest.  I guess 9-11 is the closest thing to that kind of feeling.  Really strange to speculate at who was to blame.  As sad as this may sound, I originally thought it may be some group of Americans trying to make a statement.  Things have changed over the years.

Our world just keeps getting smaller with technology.  People on the other side of the World can read my blog and keep on top of all the Team Juanita news.  I'm not sure why anyone would want to, but you never know.  I can keep on top of things in my hometown daily and the sports info out there is something else.  With twitter, face book, My Space, etc. we learn what celebrities are doing all the time.  I suppose we should be thankful to have some privacy in our lives, just because people don't care.

I think this last party was the funnest for me.  We did not have many overnights like before and it gave me more time to have fun.  I still only drank 2 beers, and that is a good thing.  You guys are the best and thanks for all you do for the kids. One group of 6 got together and donated two computers so I want to thank them here.  Outstanding job gentlemen.....and this is a diverse group...from different parts of the Country and different backgrounds.  Your gift will be greatly appreciated by the orphanage and we cannot thank you enough.

There should be some new chicas on the site tomorrow and a couple of returning chicas from the Obregon connection.  I understand the pics have been taken and I am just waiting for them to get to me.  I'm sure you will be happy in the end.  People are already buzzing about Chanel and we are so happy to have her.

The bowl selections have been made and again the best two will play for the National Championship.  Some folks don't want to see a re-match for the Championship.  I can live with it.  I am very disappointed Virginia Tech got a BCS Bowl game and Boise State did not.  Virgina Tech travels in waves and their fans will spend money, so they are a financially more attractive team.  That bothers me much more than the re-match for the title. 

Harry Morgan passed today.  What a great talent he was.  I loved the old Dragnet show, and of course the M*A*S*H show as well.  Both are old, but I am guessing most of you will at least remember M*A*S*H.   If only Hot Lips worked with Team Juanita.   I will never get tired of watching re-runs of those shows.  Colonel Potter was a good man.  I don't really know about Harry Morgan's life, but I want to think he was similar to Colonel Potter.  Colonel Potter was a good Father, husband and Grand Father and of course a good American.  RIP Harry Morgan.

It is cold here in Tijuana in the evenings.  It is so cold I don't want to get out of bed to pee.  I don't even want to shave as it is cold in the bathroom, and when I get in the shower, I dread getting out.  Understand that we buy gas for the hot water by the tank, so any day now the water can go cold on me while I am showering.  Believe me that sucks.  The days have  been fine, but my apartment remains cold.  I'm always amazed at how warm it is outside in comparison to how cold it is inside. 

I do love this time of year.  The last two nights I have left the television on 801 and listened to Xmas tunes while sleeping.  I suppose my fondness for this time of year is not very manly, but I really don't care.  I'm going to like what I like and do not need anyone to validate that. One thing I forgot on Thanksgiving this year was the egg nog....I will get some by Xmas and New Year's for sure.

I hope to be back after the weekend and write more about Xmas, New Year's, Bowl games and throw in some college basketball.  For me it is a good time to stay home and watch television as for a sports nut like me, there is always something on of interest.

Be safe, and I will see you real soon!
