Thoughts While ShavingIf you are a football fan, this is your time of the year…
Military Bowl results … Duke 36 – UCF 13 … Great beginning for a new head football coach. Mike Elko.

Today’s football action includes the Pinstripe Bowl, Cheez-It Bowl and the Alamo Bowl.

As a long time observer of ACC sports, my favorite Duke football player was Sonny Jurgensen. The Wilmington native had a great collegiate career at Duke and later in DC with the Washington Redskins and in Philadelphia … He retired 1974 after playing 11 seasons with the Redskins and 7 with the Eagles. After his retirement, he became an announcer (1983). He earned a spot in the NFL Hall of Fame and his #9 Redskin jersey has never been worn by anyone else and has been retired or will be soon. He still resides in the DC area, at Mount Vernon, Virginia, about 20 miles from DC. Sonny Jurgensen, New Hanover High School alum, Wilmington, NC.

I know I have mentioned a time or two or more, the stock market is suffering, and causing many retirees to wonder…

Don’t know about others, but I am so happy to see the cold weather move on … I know it will return, hopefully not soon.

Weather forecast for today … Sunny, with a high near 63 … Mostly clear tonight, low around 42. Friday, more of the same … Sunny, with a high near 67. Rain is a possibility Friday night (20%), a 70% chance Saturday and Saturday night…

Southwest Airline flyers may be home by New Year’s Day … a dang mess … Can’t imagine…

FYI, 2022 is coming to a close … and tomorrow, my bride and I will have been married for a long time … 62 years…
