As You're Planning Your Thanksgiving Meal Consider This...

Let Me Hook You Up

Obviously I've not been around much lately.  That's because my first event is this Saturday...an Auction to benefit our school's scholarship fund.  We have been working (what feels like) around the clock for the last several weeks to get ready and I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel.  We have close to 100 silent and live items for auction and we have some really great stuff, if I may say so myself.  In fact, I truly believe you could do all your Christmas shopping Saturday night if you just attend.

and much, much more!

If you'd like to come out and join the fun, email me and I'll hook you up.  Or, if you can't attend but you'd like to bid on something, let me know and I"ll hook you up for that as well.  Or, if you'd like to just make a large donation of say $50,000 so we can just all go home, then drop me and email and I'll hook you up!

O-H-I-O

Jim and his brother Kevin attended the Ohio State vs. Penn State game in Happy Valley on Saturday.  They were nine rows up in the OSU section.  By a stroke of luck, OSU pulled out the victory over the Nittany Lions.    Happy Birthday, Jim!

What You Didn't See

If you followed the last link in the previous post you were taken to the online version of our local newspaper and to an article that appeared on the front page of Sunday's money section.  The online article was shortened a bit and two pictures were omitted that were used in the actual article.  I thought I'd post those two pictures here since the photographer was nice enough to send them to us.

As the photographer snapped this picture I said that this will be the picture they use b/c it shows Jim cooking...which he almost never does.  That's what we're laughing about, and sure enough, they used the picture.

This picture was super large and at the top of the spread.

It's Election Week

Don't forget to vote on Tuesday.  If you're unsure about who to vote for, this short video can show you just how much the government can do for you during these tough economic times.

Truth

The obvious and fair solution to the housework problem is to let men do the housework for, say, the next six thousand years, to even things up. The trouble is that men, over the years, have developed an inflated notion of the importance of everything they do, so that before long they would turn housework into just as much of a charade as business is now. They would hire secretaries and buy computers and fly off to housework conferences in Bermuda, but they'd never clean anything.
