Believe It Or Not—December 10, 2015, 407 days to go
in President Obama’s pathetic lame duck term. Trust your Thursday is off
to a great start and your college football team is off to a decent bowl game

accomplishments of Christian McCaffrey and vote for him; as always, I hope you
enjoy Thursday’s holidays and
observances, a link to the Four Seasons four singing Big Girls Don’t Cry, factoids of interest,
a relevant quote from the Prophet Muhammad, looking forward to enjoying some
pastries, blessed with a positive attitude and secure
