1. This is the third Monday of November. The month is half over and Thanksgiving is next week. This is the in-between Veterans Day and Thanksgiving week.
2. The election is over, but the counting continues. January 20th is coming.
3. Family NFL Results
Steelers (9-0) defeat Bengals (2-6-1) 36-10
Football Team (2-7) lose to Lions (4-5) 27-30
Cowboys did not play
Ravens (6-3) lose to Patriots (4-5) 17-23
4. I am appalled that the current administration continues to sow seeds of discord regarding the election. They are being un-American by not conceding and getting on with the business of transitioning power.
5. I enjoyed watching The Master's golf tournament yesterday. I have rarely been able to see most of a day of golf on TV. I am happy for Dustin Johnson.

7. I enjoy walking through the vineyards. The idea that wine in the vine is everywhere around me is exciting and intriguing.
8. I still get excited when I see Americans launching into space from Cape Canaveral! Way to go SpaceX.
9. Today in History. On November 16, 1532, Francisco Pizarro, the Spanish explorer and conquistador, springs a trap on the Incan emperor, Atahualpa. With fewer than 200 men against several thousand, Pizarro lures Atahualpa to a feast in the emperor’s honor and then opens fire on the unarmed Incans. Pizarro’s men massacre the Incans and capture Atahualpa, forcing him to convert to Christianity before eventually killing him.
