IT IS A BIT COLD OUT THERE THIS MORNING

I went out to move the car this morning an I have to say it feels it bit cold out there this morning, my outdoor thermometer is showing a very cool 58.5 degrees. I think that I am going to take my stocking hat to work today to keep my head warm in the freezer today. There are couple of fellow bloggers that are feeling important this morning, yesterday Dad & Les and another person went out to breakfast at Cracker Barrel and former student picked up there tab because they use to be his principal and guidance counselor when he was in school. They don't even know who it was because he got the waitress to give them there bill and wanted to remain anonymous, I know thy think they are big shots now. Well I have sent out the master sheet of who everybody picked in week 1 of the Mickey's Place College Football Pick em Contest, needless to say there were some interesting picks. I didn't sleep well again last night, I slept good for about 2 and 1/2 hours and then I tossed and turned the rest of the night. MICKEY
