Inmates dance to Michael Jackson

I am really impressed with this video. Taking into consideration the fact that these men do not have anything better to do with their time they were able to put this performance together quite well.

I saw the Michael Jackson movie and thought for what the movie represented (like a documentary) it too was produced well. On another note, I was surprised at the diversity of inmates at this Filipino prison. There was definitely more than just people in this prison from the native land. Anyway, this is worth watching!

Seasonal Decorating and Ham

Wow! Where has the year gone?  It is time to decorate for Christmas already.  I feel like it was just Easter.  The funny thing is both holidays often serve ham.  Ham makes an economical dinner for the family.

Whether it is a shoulder ham or a spiral ham both taste great!  If I had to choose one I would pick the spiral ham.  I like how it literally falls off of the bone in a spiral pattern.  This makes it easier to serve in my opinion.  When serving, it is important to have a great topping.  My favorite is a sauce that has a hint of mustard.  One other thing that is important not to forget; the cherries on top!

Thanksgiving

Well, Thanksgiving is in a few days.  I really wish that Thanksgiving was given a little more attention.  Years after years retail stores like to drag out the Halloween candy immediately after the Fourth of July and as soon as Halloween is over they spend what feels like only a week on Thanksgiving decorations before Christmas is taken out.

In the future it would be nice to see the stores spend more time celebrating this important holiday.  This holiday is the foundation of our country.  We should give thanks not only for all we have been given but also to the pioneers who came before us.

Halloween

Halloween is almost here and I can’t wait!  I am thinking about traveling to some place spooky for Halloween.  That is going to be so much fun!  I do not generally like to see scary things or at least subject myself to them.  However this year is going to be different.

I am going to be brave and see if I can go meet some witches. Maybe they can cast a good luck spell on me. Whats the worst that could happen? I suppose I could be changed into a frog.

Where did it go

Where has the summer gone? Now that September is here we will be getting very busy, getting ready for the holidays again. I can not believe that summer is gone. Fall is a great time of year and it is very pretty here when the leaves start to turn and it gets cool at night. It is also the start of football season and that is always a good thing to me. The moles have started digging in the yard and the other critters are getting ready for winter. I need some fire wood stacked up for winter but I am not going to mess with it today it is to nice outside.

Gas prices

The price of gasoline has started to go back up this week and it looks like by the time that spring gets here we will have gasoline prices over $2 a gallon. Even though it is a far cry from the over $4 a gallon we had last fall every penny the price goes up costs me money in higher expenses for me and my drivers. Lets hope they get control over the rising gasoline prices and get the price down where it belongs.

Big weekend

Kevin Costner the movie star is bringing his band to the Grand Old Opry on Saturday night I can not wait to go see this show, I did not even know that Kevin Costner had a band let alone a band that was good enough to play at the Ryman. I know that several actors have made a good living off their musical talent including Billy Bob Thornton who we saw at the Levon helm concert, i think if an actor has enough talent they are more than welcome to sing for their supper too.
