There’s supposed a difference between college football and professional football. I can’t tell the difference.

I just bought these really expensive “whiskey sipping” glasses. The shipping was $25. That’s a lot of shipping for two glasses.

Is there a breakdown anywhere for what determines if one is in the 1%, 10%, 25%?

Is it ok to spend the w

Three worst #XMAS carols ever:
1. Have a Holly Jolly Christmas - Burl Ives version
2. The Grinch song or whatever it's called
3. Most Beautiful Time Of The Year - any version but Andy Williams, especially.
Honorable Mention: Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer
Very Best:
1 Santa Baby - any version

I'm trying to get into the mood for #XMAS. It's never been a good time of year for me. This year, I'm in my typically cynical mood, plus despair, outright disgust, and anger at all the chaos and inability of anyone to do anything. Anything!

What did people do before GoFundMe, et.al? Squeegee car windows? Hang around on street corners with a sign? Or flat-out go to a charitable organization for help. That's what they're for.

I never posted on GoFundMe or any other online panhandling app. I should. I hear it's a sweet paycheck.

I wonder who came up with the "...for only $19.99 a month..." pitch for all the TV advertising charities do. Wouldn't just spending money on the charitable cause be a better way to help?

#XMAS The unbridled spending, credit cards maxed out. Did you keep that ugly sweater from last year for the office party? Are you still going through the cards from years ago, or are you using the ones some charity sent you in the hope of free money?

Next game is the Eagles and the Cowboys. There’s a lot of ppl in my little area of the world that like the Eagles. I don’t have a strong feeling either way.

Huzzah for the Ravens. Another game where they started slow and came out on top. Next game: late Thanksgiving against the Bengals.

I could be drinking at home but there is a little something indescribable about drinking in a bar. Even by myself. Maybe it’s the illusion.

You know all the brouhaha about the different hairsplitting distinctions about who’s a pedophile? Don’t you think that if it made a difference someone would have bought it up a year ago? Child rapists are child rapists.

The Ravens are playing like a bad high school team. They deserve to get crushed.
