Happy Thanksgiving

Family, Food, and Football..... No particular order :)

Matt Millen vs. Steve Young

I was so happy when Matt Millen was fired by the Lions after years of bonehead moves. Much to my dismay we now have to listen to him give his "expert" opinions as a commentator. This one from earlier this week is classic:

Gee, whose opinion would I trust more. . . Steve Young or Matt Millen???

Looks like an upset coming by the Dallas Cowboys in New York

'Back to the Future' playing at Alderwood Mall theater Saturday

You can travel back in time this weekend to see one of the most popular movies of all time on the big screen.

For one time only, Back to the Future will be shown Saturday at 12:30 p.m. at  AMC Loews Alderwood Mall 16.

It's the 25th anniversary of the film, so AMC is bringing it back to 75 theaters around the country. Tickets can be purchased at Fandango.

According to the AMC website:

We heard from our guests that they'd like another chance to see the digitally remastered classic, "Back to the Future", on the big screen.  Who are we to deny you?  Join us for an AMC exclusive 25th Anniversary encore presentation of this iconic family movie on Saturday, November 6 at 12:30PM. Don't miss your chance to relive the journey one last time.

We're excited to bring this digitally remastered film back for a new generation to see the film as it was intended – up on the big screen.

Bring your family to experience a film that stands the test of time. Or, flash back with friends and recreate your original experience with new digital technology…before it fades away.

Too bad it's s not showing on Nov. 5, the day Marty McFly arrived in 1955.

Professional athetes with the first name Madison:

There are only two I am aware of - both play for the Giants team of their sport and both have rather unusual last names. Madison Hedgecock of the New York Giants and Madison Bumgarner of the San Francisco Giants. What are the odds?

Osso buco

Osso buco is the new word of the day. Apparently, it's some kind of veal dish. From this photo it looks like it's some kind of stew or something.

Doing a little bit of research, it can be made with tomatoes or without. If I was making it, i would go with the tomatoes. Just my two cents.

Black Friday's Coming - Are You Excited?

As a professional bargain shopper, I appreciate a good deal as much as anyone does. In previous years, I've done the Black Friday thing in Lynnwood, waking up way too early the day after Thanksgiving in hunt of some various electronics I don't really need (ok, REALLY don't need) just because it's a "deal".

Since I've been scouring the online deals this past 9 months or so, I'm not as interested in going out this year.

The release of the ads early is all the talk of the web. Target's Black Friday ad is a much coveted one, as is Wal-Mart's ad. It appears Wal-Mart has some pretty good deals, a laptop for under $200 and a GPS for under $60. These companies take such security measures to protect their ad content, but unfortunately for them, it only takes one leak in the system somewhere along the way.

I remember at a newspaper I previously worked at hearing some of Wal-Mart's requirements to carry their preprint inserts in your publications. You have to keep the Wal-Mart inserts locked up so that they cannot be accessed by anyone other than the designated handler of them. They even send someone out to your prepress area to make sure that you are complying with this request.

But these are such large companies with such huge reaches that it is nearly impossible to prevent the leaking of these ads. Imagine if a small local business had an upcoming sale and the public was dying to see the ad! (Sorry, a little bit of advertising humor).

Great deal on coins

Here's a funny deal: you can currently buy $1 coins of the various presidents (1-7 available right now, however some are sold out) at face value. A bonus? FREE shipping! There's some pretty funny comments about people using credit cards with points, miles, etc, to buy the coins for face value and then, of course, spend them or deposit them in the bank.

Currently, you only have Jefferson, Madison, and Jackson available for purchase. Of those three, I would have to go with James Madison, who is definitely the most interesting of the three to me. After all, he was the shortest president of all 44.
