It took my a while to find him, and I could only do so after scanning the picture and being able to zoom.  He’s in the middle without his leather helmet on standing next to the guy in the cap.

If my memory serves correct he told me this was some sort of semi-pro team.  He had this one story about how he and and teammate teamed up to tackle this one guy where one  hits high and the other hits low and it resulted in a broken leg for ball carrier.  They went to visit the guy in the hospital and he said it was no big deal, breaking a leg is just part of the game.

• Our local grocery store has scented pine cones at the entrance that will automatically put you in the holiday spirit.  I bought some and left them in our SUV, so now it smells like Christmas everytime we go for a drive.
• I mentioned when we visited my father’s grave over the weekend and DaughterGeeding had a lot of questions about death that we answered honestly but still hard for her to comprehend.  When my father was alive I would talk to him as he would get in bed and when he laid his head on his pillow I would brush back his hair and give him a kiss on the forehead, I even did it when he died and I left his hospital room.  I continue the habit when I visit his grave by stroking the top of the tombstone as if I’m brushing his hair back and then kissing it.  This time when I did it DaughterGeeding followed suit and did the exact same thing and gave the tombstone a hug.  She also asked us to take a picture of her next to the flowers and flag we placed on the grave.  I feel weird taking pictures of people in front of a tombstone but blighted.
• I think I mentioned this before, but after I asked WifeGeeding’s parent’s permission to marry their daughter the next thing I did was visit my father’s grave.  At DFW National Cemetery that day I encountered Michael Irvin talking on a cell phone leaning on his Mercedes that had PLY MKR license plate.
• For the last five years or so I had the worst dry scalp and dandruff problem and have tried every shampoo and product out there.  I’m not much for home remedies, but I read that apply apple cider vinegar to your scalp for about 15 minutes and washing it out would do the trick.  I had nothing to lose and to my surprise it worked remarkable well, my scalp hasn’t feel this great and hasn’t produced any dandruff since I tried this about four weeks ago.

• I follow a lot of agnostic and atheist blogs, and it’s amazing how much they like and respect Pope Frances.  Most of them touched regarding his recent  ‘I prefer a church which is bruised, hurting and dirty’ comments.  It’s great to see how he’s connecting with the unchurched.
• Speaking of Pope Francis and unbelievable things, it would be crazy if this were true –  Pope Francis may be sneaking out of the Vatican at night to help the poor

• Sometimes I think those who complain that Christ is being taken out of Christmas usually don’t put Christ at the forefront of their life eleven months of the year.  I feel similar to those who point out God has been taken out of schools.  And here is your2013 ‘War On Christmas’ Enemies List which is even color coded.
• Speaking of the War on Christmas, the National Republican Congressional Committee is firing up the base by selling t-shirts and mugs with the slogan “‘Happy Holidays’ is what liberals say.”  But did they have to use the Comic Sans font?
• “The problem with quotes on the internet is that you never know if they’re true. -Abraham Lincoln” @Lecrae – I had to stop following @OMGFacts because after a bit of research I found of lot of their facts were incorrect.  And that brings me to a rare disappointment in @HistoryInPics which posted a photo of JFK and Marilyn Monroe snuggling through a creaked door which is obviously fake.
• I think AMC should start a show using the actors that played Mike from ‘Breaking Bad’, Bert Cooper from ‘Mad Men’, and Herschel from ‘The Walking Dead’.  About what? I dunno.

• I wonder if the overhead camera we see for both college and NFL games will be replaced with a drone one day for even more spectacular shots.  Off hand, I’d say a drone would be safer than those cable mounted cameras and they would probably be cheaper.  Heck, it would be neat to have several drones with cameras recording action.
• I know conservatives don’t favor government regulation, so I wonder about their thoughts on drones and how they may become a part of our daily lives.  The cost of drones are very affordable, and you certainly don’t want those things interfering with aircraft or neighbors using them as Peeping Tom or spying equipment.  And ifAmazon.com is able to use them as a delivery mechanism, you certainly want to make sure they don’t hit power lines or drop or hit anyone.
• I wonder when stop lights will advance in technology so if you are the only car coming to one and there are no other vehicles, it will change so you don’t even have to slow down, or based upon certain algorithms can make traffic flow more efficiently and coordinate with other lights down the road.

• Two-and-a-half years ago Rebecca Black released the song ‘Friday’.  Now, the 16-year-old reviews the video and is embarrassed like a lot of are when we look at younger versions of ourselves.  But I can’t get over how she’s reacting after just a little over twoyears, she just needs to wait until she hits 30 and then it will really hit her.
