Mogadore's season came to an end Friday night. The Hopewell-Louden Chieftens beat them 30-0. I am really impressed by this group of kids and coaches. They could have quit after the homecoming game when 5 starters were kicked off the team. But they hung in there and won the league again and hosted a play-off game. 10-2 again this year, not too bad.

Ohio State rolled. After the OSU game, I took the kids to Christie and Mike's. We had not seen them since the cruise. (T was scrap booking so she did not go). The kids love playing together. K played on their Wii most of the night. He is hoping Santa brings one this Christmas.

Yesterday was a bit different. The Browns and the Cowboys did not play. So, with no real interesting game on, I did things around the house. T went back to her all-day scrap booking event. I even had to wait til 4 to watch the Steelers play.

Dan called me about his boat. He is going to sell it. He is giving us first shot at it. He would like something down to know we are serious about buying the boat. We are, but putting something down before Christmas it tough. I had hope to wait til after we got our taxes back, but we might need to do something soon. His boat is a 2004 21' pontoon boat with a 4-stroke 25 horsepower Nissan outboard motor. He wants $12,000 for the boat, enclosure and trailer. The boat is in tip-top shape. But, if we don't buy it, I am sure we can find something else next spring.
