Christmas time is a-coming, in fact just hours away … Ready or not…

As we, my bride and I grow older, and we are … It’s a little cash or nothing … We do expect to be with our small family Christmas Day, on the road … but not far away, just a day trip…

If all goes as planned, will be with siblings, as usual, tonight … We enjoy Christmas year round … no gifts, just the presence of as many as possible together … for a short time.

Based on most recent trip to grocery store, many will be enjoying a feast … but, but, always someone in need … We all need to reach out to the less fortunate…

#2 Duke basketball team won 76-65 over Virginia Tech last night. Clemson defeated Virginia 67-50…

NFL action tonight … Titans (9-5) vs 49ers (8-6) … 49ers slight favorite, Titans have lost last 4 games. East Bladen’s Larrell Murchison is not on the roster for tonight’s game … listed out due to knee injury. He has been busy helping local youngsters have a Merry Christmas…

One spoiler, if you haven’t paid local property taxes … pay by January 5th or pay a penalty … Not due at Christmas time, was due in September and statement was received last July or August … Just a reminder…

Spoke with a 90-plus year old, long time radio personality near Raleigh recently … He asked for all to pray for our country … His words, “We are in a mess.” Could not agree more…

Pretty good weather forecast … Sunny today with a high near 51. Clear tonight with a low around 30. Sunny Friday with a high near 62 and windy … Mostly Clear Friday night, with wind gusts as high as 17 mph. Christmas Day, sunny with a high near 69, but windy, gusts as high as 26 mph. Santa gotta hold on tight in guiding the reindeer … to the right place with toys and goodies for all good little boys and girls…
