But before all that silliness, it was Chelski vs Arsenal.
Arsenal wins! See Bobs "O" face for proof....
Morons United, and a couple Man U fans..
Christmas meant a road trip this year, no ordinary road trip either. The Monday before we left Enola got the flu, Tuesday Christa got the flu. I had to work late to get caught up for break and vacation. Nothing got done until Friday, when they admitted defeat and went to the doctor. Christa had Strep throat and the girls each had a case of Pink Eye. Some pills & injections later and every one felt road ready so we finished errands and peeled out on Saturday, for two days straight on the road. Denver, Colorado to Natchez, MS. 1400 miles, we got there just in time for Audrey to come down with flu on Xmas eve. That lasted until the very day we left. But even with all that it was a wonderful holiday spent with family.Enola and the Fat Man, Christmas eve...

The Hotel Courtyard...LOOK!....OMG..its Harry Connick Jr.!!
Stanley Kowalski: She moved to the hotel called Flamingo which is a second class hotel that has the advantages of not interfering with the private and social life of the personalities there. Now the Flamingo is used to all kinds of goings-on. But even the management of the Flamingo was impressed by Dame Blanche. And in fact, they were so impressed that they requested her to turn in her room-key for permanently. And this, this happened a couple of weeks before she showed here... The trouble with Dame Blanche was that she couldn't put on her act any more in Oriel because they got wised up. And after two or three dates, they quit and then she goes on to another one, the same old line, the same old act, and the same old hooey. And as time went by, she became the town character, regarded not just as different but downright loco and nuts. She didn't resign temporarily because of her nerves. She was kicked out before the spring term ended. And I hate to tell you the reason that step was taken. A seventeen-year-old kid she got mixed up with - and the boy's dad learned about it and he got in touch with the high-school superintendent. And there was practically a town ordinance passed against her.Blanche DuBois: You're married to a madman.
Stella: I wish you'd stop taking it for granted that I'm in something I want to get out of.
Blanche DuBois: What you are talking about is desire - just brutal Desire. The name of that rattle-trap streetcar that bangs through the Quarter, up one old narrow street and down another.
Stella: Haven't you ever ridden on that streetcar?
Blanche DuBois: It brought me here. Where I'm not wanted and where I'm ashamed to be.
Thats Michaels sweet Grandmother below, Martha Paul. His mothers mother. She remembers the first car coming to Ferriday, Louisiana.
This is from the lake house, on Lake St. John, where we spread some of Jans ashes on this trip, shortly after this picture. We miss you Jan, as a Mom, a daughter, a Grandma and a mother-in-law.
