Monday Musings - November 23, 2015

1. Paranoia is rampant. The White House shut down Pennsylvania Avenue because of an apple core on Saturday. 

2. Another weird NFL weekend. The referees continually get it wrong and injuries are so commonplace now it seems that the teams are going to have to expand their rosters to 100.

3. It was cold yesterday!

4. How can a 3-7 NFL team have a shot to make the playoffs? Look at the NFC East Cowboys, they are only two games out of first place in the division. Check out the NY Times simulator and see how your team does. 

5. I spent last evening Christmas shopping on the computer. I can't believe it.

6. The presidential candidates seem intent on out doing each other with the more outlandish ideas.

7. It is the week of Thanksgiving. I cannot comprehend all of the way that I am blessed. 

8. The Ravens are done. The loss of Flacco and Forsett ended any hopes the Ravens had of winning even another game. Hopefully they can get through the remainder of the season with any other potentially career ending injuries.

9. When do pitchers and catchers report to Spring Training? Surely it is not soon enough.
