Groundhog Day: Back in the Sling of Things after Thanksgiving Weekend

Wednesday, December 3rd, 2008

Looks like I’ll be back to rehab with another shoulder injury after a Thanksgiving holiday football fiasco. This time it’s a broken collarbone. I look forward to getting back on the field soon, but I might want to invest in some shoulder pads.

At least it’s not a self-inflicted gunshot wound!

Thanksgiving Musings

Monday, December 1st, 2008

Doug is Thankful for:

1. A busy 4th quarter, despite the economic trouble.
2. The hard work his staff at D S Simon Productions is putting in.
3. Obama’s quick selection of a team respected by both sides.
4. The playoff-bound NY Jets (well, maybe not after yesterday’s loss.)
