Happy Friday Friends! The weather outside is frightful indeed, but the prospect of the next couple of weeks is delightful. We have Christmas next weekend followed a week later by the New Year. This is my favorite time of the year, because it is a great time to spend with family and friends. On top of that, the food and final flurry of college foootball is a nice backdrop to all of the festivities. Even a patch of nasty weather can’t keep me down. I will be out and about over the next week doing my best Santa Claus impression, so I hope to see you. That is of course only if you have been nice. Read the rest of this entry »
Happy Friday from the no man’s land that is the time between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Driving around Huntsville today at lunch I could definitely tell that the shoppers are out in full force. This time of year it always a zoo on the Parkway. So many people have so much going on during the holidays that it is easy to become distracted on the roads. I’ve been rear ended once and nearly driven off the road another time. My vocabulary has definitely been getting a workout! Read the rest of this entry »
Tommy and his Turkey
Happy (black) Friday to everybody! I hope that everyone has come out of their tryptophan induced coma in time to have some leftovers. I’m on the road (down to the Plains) this weekend, so this will be a bit of a skeleton edition of my weekly offering.
I do want to acknowledge, however that I have a lot to be thankful for. My family, my friends and those of you who trust me with your business are a few of the people that I am very thankful for. I look forward to seeing you all sometime during this holiday season.
Next time you see me, don’t forget to ask me about my Turkey. Read the rest of this entry »
Happy Friday everybody! What a beautiful day we are having here in the Tennessee Valley. I hope everybody gets a chance this weekend to enjoy the calm before the storm that is the holiday season. By next Friday we will all be saturated with turkey and dressing and planning our Christmas shopping if not getting ready for the Iron Bowl. It’s hard to believe that November is over half way over and that we are less than a week away from turkey day. Where does the time go? Read the rest of this entry »
Happy Friday and happy Veterans Day! From my office, I can see the crowd getting ready for the parade. A huge crowd gathered this morning to attend a public ceremony for the dedication of a memorial on Monroe Street just East of the depot. As I see the crowd grow in anticipation of the annual parade, I realize that I probably do not have to remind anyone how important our veterans have been to our freedom and our way of life. Our veterans have made many sacrifices to help ensure that we can have the things that we sometimes take for granted. It is certainly a happy day when we see an outpouring of support for those who have so selflessly supported us. I hope you all get a chance today to thank a veteran for their service.
