RAIN!!!  It was a holiday miracle!  For Thanksgiving we had a lot of rain and it was oh so glorious! It really poured a few times on Thursday and could hear it hit hard and stayed dark all day.  I do love this weather and want to stay in and just do nothing.  I hope this means more rain like this to come but it was only here for a couple of days.  We need this water, badly.  The last few years of water is not enough since our drought is really bad.  Also since we don't get snow here, this is our version of a Winter and close enough for me.

Weekly Update:
This was Thanksgiving week and I didn't do much but work.  It was a very gloomy week and nothing going on.  Plus it kind of felt odd with Thanksgiving being the last week of November, now Christmas is right around the corner, a week earlier.  For the last few years I would get a honey-baked ham from Honeybaked Ham, was starting to be a holiday tradition but ... not this year.  They are pretty expensive however do last me for about a week of meals with ham and sandwiches.  It is very delicious but then when I break down the cost per sandwich, it is a fair price on the side of above average cost.  But with certain expenses this year and a pretty massive reduction in my paychecks since the fiscal year, I skipped it and went cold turkey ... haha get it because no ham and it's thanksg... oh never mind!  Maybe next year I will start up the tradition again but at that point, is it a tradition any longer since you skip a year or even two?  I guess it isn't so it will not be a thing.  Just yea or nay if I get a ham.  I miss having traditions but what can you do.

At the movies:
The crown is still on ice as "Frozen 2" holds top honors for a 2nd week in a row and earning an extra 85.3 million!  It now has a 10-day total just shy of 300 mil and could get that mid-week.  KNew at #2 is Knives Out with 27 mil to open but had a 5-day total of 41.7 mil.  Below expectations but still a solid number and the box office needed it.  Drop to #3 is "Ford v. Ferrari" with 13.2 mil extra as it struggles to reach 100 mil cume and uncertain if it will.  Holding at #4 is "A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood" with 11.8 mil and this neighborhood is shrinking.  Rounding off the top 5 is Queen & Slim with 11.7 mil to open and well below expectations.

Facts & Tips:
MLB has not had a lefty play catcher since 1989.

"Soon Crassus will give command! And we shall face his legions in open battle! We stand in the shadow of greater might! As their Republic cast across the lives of every man, every woman, and every child condemned to the darkness of slavery! Forced to toil and suffer, so that those of coin and position can see their fortunes grow beyond need or purpose!  Let us teach them, that all who draw breath are of equal worth! And that those that seek to place heel upon the throat of liberty will fall to the cry of freedom!" - Liam McIntyre as Spartacus in the series "Spartacus."
