1. Osbourn lost last night. I watched the game with my family and I’ve rarely been more proud of a team than I was last night. Our fellas had only a couple of days to practice and we were very competitve early on but Hylton was just too much. I don’t know who that kid was but he’s fast as lightning. Congratulations OHS, it was a great effort.
2. I’m recently reminded of one of my two favorite quotes of all time: George Burns once said: “It’s too bad that all of the people who know how to run the country are busy cutting hair and driving cabs”. That quote says quite a lot all at once and is more relevant than you might imagine.
Happy Thanksgiving!

I like your George Burns quote…fits into probably my most favorite story which parrallels yours: Seems there was a company trying to sell new forms of pop-up tents to replace pup tents to the Marines Corps. Commandant Gray agreed to listen to the presentation, and the contractor asked the General to bring is experts for a demonstration.
The day arrived at 8 & I Barracks, and the contractor had the tents which were turned over to a detail lead by a Corporal. The Enlisted Marines proceeded to set up the tents, and when done, the General asked the Marines how they liked them and the Corporal took a quick poll, and said they liked them. When General Gray turned and said the Marines would buy them, the contractor asked him if his experts were available for a discussion. The Commandant pointed at the Corporal and Privates and said: “ask away, their my experts.”
Nothing like Leadership in Action! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family from the Beverages!!!
