Thoughts with Whiskey: 2025-11-27

Beverage of choice:  Buffalo Trace

Happy Thanksgiving, one and all!  


The traditional Thanksgiving feast

I am currently inside, having a piece of Pumpkin Chiffon Pie.  Tonight I relax, while the snow falls. Tomorrow I wake up and start clearing the driveway.  Here are my current random thoughts...

* Watching Death By Lightning on Netflix.  I read the book that the show was based on (Destiny of the Republic, by Candice Millard.  It's a fascinating story- James A. Garfield may by the greatest "What if?" President in the history of the US.  Just being a great man does not automatically make someone a great President (for example...), but I think Garfield could have been a boon for the country if he had lived.  It's also a period of US history I don't know that much about (after the Civil War, before President Teddy Roosevelt)


* Basketball is underway- and Oklahoma looks damn near unstoppable.  The best record in the NBA, their second-best player hasn't been on the floor yet... and right now, they'd have two of the top 10 NBA draft picks next year.  


* Trying to decide what retrospective I will do next year.  If it's music, I'm thinking Led Zeppelin.  My other thought is to do a TV retrospective on the show Taskmaster, which has become my favorite comedy show


* It is Thanksgiving, and there's a lot I am thankful for.  Friends, family, loved ones.  Thank you, everyone who reads this blog.  There are problems in the world- there are always problems in the world- but the universe is more good than bad, and I thank you all for sharing your time, hearts, and minds with me.


Peace to all of you.
