presidents day, moms birthday, bb weekend

PRESIDENTS DAY

today is presidents day in the united states

(in canada its family day)

what that means is that there is usually no school in most

places and no post offices opened, no banks opened, and 

there are sales going on for stuff you dont need

some unlucky schools have to go today as they had to use a 

snow or bad weather day 

thats a good way to ruin families vacation plans

lincoln and washington birthdays were this month so thats where

this all started

maybe we could start decorating and doing sales in january to 

get ready for this eventful day 

have a happy presidents birthday

dont expect any mail which is probably good as most of it is junk

mail now days announcing those sales

MOMS BIRTHDAY

today is my moms birthday

she would have been 89 today

she died a few years ago from complications related to  alzhiemiers

those people who were lucky enough to know her before this

disease took over or who were lucky enough for her to have 

provided nursing care to them would gladly remember her today and 

celebrate her birthday

those of you who were my former patients and whom i still 

consider my patients who liked my bedside manner and my 

compassion as a family doctor should know that these  i got 

from my mom

if she was your nurse you would always remember her

rarely ever saw her get mad but she could if she needed to

defend her patients or her family

she never talked badly about anyone

thanks mom 

miss you mom 

glad you are not suffering now

happy birthday 

addendum one of my best friends son has a birthday today

always found it easy to keep up with his birthday 

did not need facebook to remind me 

happy birthday rh

BB WEEKEND

if you dont like basketball just skip this part

this was  a good basketball weekend

longhorns lost to nebraska in an exciting game that went to the

last minute when horns had more than one chance to win 

but they did not pull it off

was first conference lost this year

the adversity of playing this game was what they needed to 

refocus them for the march madness run

hopefully they will respond 

adversity in sports and in life sometimes makes a team or a 

person better if they approach this adversity correctly 

time will tell

then there was the nba dunk contest

wow

pretty impressive

i couldnt do some of those dunks on my sons old fisher price 

basketball goal

will be afraid to watch next years dunk contest as they cant get any 

better but can only get more dangerous

lets see where did my  wife she put my sons old toys and my old 

converses

wont to try to dunk over my john deere lawn tractor
