Wednesday Thoughts 11-28-07

So this morning when I went out to my car I discovered that someone had got in and rifled around in it. Nothing of any value was taken, it was probably just some kid checking car doors, but it was still odd and disturbing. I will have to make sure it is locked, which I thought it was last night.

Sent out invitations today for our Annual Christmas Eve bash. Not planning for as long of an event as in years past as we don't know what Kim's schedule is yet. This started as a way for me to see my family for Christmas events so we could focus on Kim's family on Christmas Day, but it has evolved into a much bigger deal. It has also taken the place of Kim's Grandparents annual Christmas Eve event at their house as well. It's Pot luck, pretty much all friends and family in the area are invited. I also created it as an event in Facebook.

Michael Wilbon on Sean Taylor's Death

Wilbon always finds a way to address the bigger issue in the best way. At least to me, raised in an upper middle class background and being white, what he says makes sense. The concept of having to make that decision at some point to cut everything off in order to succeed is alien to me. Yes at some point I had to cut off certain people and behaviors in order to get my drinking under control, but it wasn't all that hard, and it certainly wasn't a question of leaving my childhood and home behind. It must be tough.
