With the amount of electioneering about over it is time for this typewriter to vent on several other issues. So here is what I have been wanting to share with the readers of Musings:
For years I loved college sports. Who could argue with the Wolverine success during the Harbaugh era? Buried in the background of that 3 year run continues to be the stories of NIL and to me the damage it is doing to college amateur sports. $5 million offered up by one bagman, otherwise called a supporter, to bring in a 5-star quarterback. Lamborginees for 19-year-old quarterbacks. Transfers from one school to another. To receive quality education? Nope. More money. 3 schools/4 years. Losing interest. Disappointing.
I spent all of last year and this year searching for a snow plow service. One quoted $800 for the season, another $900. I couldn't find any service that would use a snow blower and charge per snowfall. They all prefer to use a front-end plow, which isn't effective on the circular drive of Musings Estate. Perhaps this year will bring a change. I remain hopeful and persistent in my search. Recommendations? Frustrating.
This Thanksgiving marks the first time in 20 years that the bodyguard and typewriter will be home to celebrate. Traditionally, we've spent the holiday in Georgia with Kathy's family. However, this year we're attending a family wedding there next week, so we'll be home for Thanksgiving before heading to Aurora, Colorado, for Christmas. We'll arrive on Christmas Eve and return on New Year's Eve. Our dilemma is deciding where to go for Thanksgiving dinner, as we'd prefer to dine out and avoid cooking. Hear that the Northville Senate has a top-drawer meal. Perhaps.
Is it just my perception, or are drivers becoming increasingly reckless? I find myself wondering about the reasons behind this behavior. You too? Curious.
Congratulations Madonna University for the increase of enrollment. Dr. Christopher Dougherty, the 8th President at Madonna who officially took over July 1, 2023, seems to be well received by so many sectors within the college community, both within the University and the Livonia community. Another positive story for Madonna. Successful.
Watching Tom Brady on Fox, particularly during his encounters with the Detroit Lions, is a pleasure. His transition from being a celebrated player to a Hall of Fame broadcaster has been remarkable. Unlike most sports broadcasts, where I prefer to mute the sound, Brady's commentary is an exception. Professionalism.
