Folger's in the Morning!

Here are the weather conditions at the ‘ole home place curtsey of wunderground.com:




TIME: 8:00 AM
CONDITIONS: Clear
AIR TEMP: 32.8 °F
WIND: 3 mph Variable
VISIBILITY: 7 miles
LATITUDE: 34.053
LONGITUDE: -80.345


Again, I ate “American” Toast… We were to go out early and pick up a biscuit and coffee but the wife started “CLEANING…” It’s not that I don’t like a clean house, I do, but it seems that the vacuum cleaner runs 24/7.

We are leaving late this afternoon for our son’s house in Columbia to do grandparent duty – that’s to baby sit the grandchildren while the parents leave to watch the state’s largest rivalry football game. It will be Clemson University against the University of South Carolina (USC) at the USC William's Brice Stadium. As usual, this is a family divided – daughter, son, and wife for Clemson and my Daughter-in-law and me for the University of South Carolina.

The game was not originally scheduled for broadcast – many reasons, but the first time in my memory of 21 years or better. The outcry was like a tsunami rolling over the broadcast officials. The game is being shown on ESPN 2 tonight at 7 PM…

The son and his wife will then spend the night at our house and we will reciprocate by spending the night at theirs. We have to return home in time to prepare dinner for four friends of who two are leaving tomorrow morning early for the Big Apple and the Macy’s day Thanksgiving Day parade. This will be their first trip to NYC.

Me, I’ll be home watching the parade on TV where all sane people should be with my portable defibrillator close at hand.

See you soon…
