Congratulations to team USA hockey for winning Gold at the Olympics! A few of these guys would be great actors for the ZocDoc commercial of the hockey players looking for a dentist!

No dog in the hunt but for shiggles I'll say Seattle. Wife will probably have us watching Puppy Bowl and the Olympics till NBC goes to Super Bowl.

Have a Great Week, Gentlemen!

Wife has surplus of her GLP-1 and helping to reduce it down. Using it 2-3 times a week. Worst side effect is the diarrhea! Likely to use it till surplus is gone or I'm back to two hundred or less.

To answer your question about Hawaii - in a word "yes"! Many things to do there. Mentioned Pearl Harbor, the Arizona Memorial and touring the Missouri where Japan surrendered while ship was anchored in Tokyo Bay. Also have the airplane museum that is on Ford Island. Have to go to Ford Island to get to the Missouri You ride the tour bus shuttle that runs between the Pearl Harbor / submarine museum to Ford Island not a boat. Only way to the Arizona is by a Navy launch. Have roughly 30 minutes once you get there. They reiterated several times before going to the Memorial that with almost 1,000 men entombed on the ship it is a cemetery and treat it as such. You still see the fuel oil that still surfaces from the ship. Did not do the full tour of Missouri. Could tell wifey was getting tired so kept to the two decks where Surrender was signed and saw and heard about Kamikaze plane struck ship. Captain, much to the chagrin of his crew, ordered the Japanese pilot to be buried at sea in a body bag made to look like Japanese flag. Message being this man had given his all for Japan and as fellow combatants show him some respect.

Did not do sub or plane museums. Each tour has sperate admission and we were feeling our day. On Ford Island the hangar the planes are in has bullet/bomb damage from December 7th. The old air control tower is maintained, painted orange and white, and I think still used. What struck me looking out the windows on the way in and out was the asphalt tarmac with grass growing up through it was that this place too was hallowed ground because Americans had been killed there too.

Polynesian Cultural Center is 75-90 minute bus ride from Honolulu. Covers the traditions and culture of Samoa, Tonga, and another six island nations the native Hawaiians came from. Skipped the luau part. Would have been midnight getting back to hotel and being two WLS patients return on investment for price of meal(s) was not worth it.

If and when you go if you want to golf - travel agent can hook you up with place to go. Use a travel agent the first time or catch a seat, or seats, on a tour package. Since likely you will not have enough intel to put a trip together and get in a crack. Big waves, 20-25 footers were hitting the North shore of Oahu but did not go see them or the Dole Pineapple Plantation. Maui was off the table because of all the wild fire damage. Have it from frequent fliers that Kona is great place to go. Off peak is time to go and avoid holidays, and December 7th anniversary. DO NOT RENT a car in advance. Get one at the hotel on a PRN basis to use for the day and bring back there. Space is LIMITED and and public parking is like buying retail space on Rodeo Drive! Gasoline is just as bad. Was scrapping the bottom side of $5 a gallon. Food is ass high to a giraffe and that is only because it all has to be imported. You will not find much fast food at all. Lots of Japanese/Chinese/Thai/Korean. Locals have their long standing favorites that they will literally stand in line to get. Malasadas in particular. Years ago the Hawaiians procured them from the Portuguese.

I can see us going back but not anytime soon. Have to let finances recuperate. Maybe go sell some plasma! Only gripes were a saggy bed and how expensive everything is. Traffic sucks but people don't honk or shout at each other. Check this out - they use their blinkers! Asian drivers are so polite. I barely touched surface. Like I said let fingers do walking, find travel agent, ask around whose gone etc.

Thank you Miami for eliminating Ol' **** and Indiana plucked the ducks! Sorry Bob, but I'm going with Indiana. Heisman winner QB and they've never won all the marbles. Regardless of who wins hopefully will be a good game.

Christmas well within tolerances. Cowboys won. One more game next Sunday then talking heads will take over about what to do for next year. Too many college games of note to touch on all of them but couple of squeakers. BYU and Georgia Tech and the game that caused older brother to be bi-polar since he went to both schools. LSU and Univ. of Houston. Houston won. Needless to say best post game fight goes to California and Hawaii! More CFS induced vegetation on tap for this week. Also have to start working on taxes too.

Obligatory warning, retired or not, about drinking and driving New Year's Eve. Don't do it.

Happy New Year!!

Perfect meme! Great minds think alike and you beat me to it this morning!

College football getting in last "chump" games before rivalry games this weekend. Some lopsided scores 70-0 Alabama over E. Illinois. Notre Dame gave the Orange men of Syracuse the red ass 70-7. TCU beat Houston by three. Missed FG in last minute to tie. LSU held off W. Kentucky. State off till Friday when they play Ol' Miss in the Egg Bowl from Starkville. Powers that be moved it from Thanksgiving Day to Friday so Texas and A&M could reignite their long time Thanksgiving Day rivalry.

Honey Baked ham arrived Friday and is sitting in fridge minus a few slices we had for supper Friday night. Turkey is thawing at Mom's.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Looking at college scoreboard had a few upsets. Oklahoma beating Alabama in Tuscaloosa and will give credit to A&M for their rally to beat S. Carolina. State got their butts handed to them by Missouri. Bye week next week then Ol' **** for the Egg Bowl in Starkville for final game of the year.

Dog missed the memo about extra hour of sleep this morning!

Mississippi State beat Arkansas yesterday!! 38-35. Almost 200 yards in penalty yardage, mostly personal fouls, to wit: late hits, targeting etc, on their part worked in our favor. Wake up this morning and game is being rerun on SEC Network. So much for the talking heads.

Have a Great Week, Gentlemen!!
