145th edition of My Random Thoughts: Sports, TV, music, food, life.....

November 28, 2025

We have five light switches on the wall in the family room. After 25+ years, I still just flip randomly 'em until I find what I need.

That Joe Burrow guy is pretty damn good.

When we visited my Granny in West Liberty as kids, she would always say 'give Granny some sugar' when she wanted a kiss.

I'm pretty sure I could survive for an extended amount of time on only Kelly's homemade Chex Mix.

Songs I cranked the radio to this week: 'Heat Of The Moment', Asia.....and 'Died In Your Arms Tonight", Cutting Crew

The Closer was so well written show. And Kyra Sedgwick was such a quirky good character, as Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson.

Man, 'playing hard' sure gets praised a lot by coaches/managers around here. This isn't grade school.

Wes Miller is a low mid-major level coach. Always has been. Always will be.

Lunch today: I made a panini with turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, gravy and mac & cheese all smushed together on sourdough bread!

After 60 years, our GE electric carving knife is still getting the job done at Thanksgiving. It was a wedding gift to my mom and dad. I use it once a year.

I've always found it weird that OSU fans use an X to replace the M in words during Michigan week. Talk about giving the rival some space in your head.

Anyone watching Pluribus (Netflix). Holy 1st episode, Batman!

I don't like restaurants with tables so scrunched together that the other dinner party can hear your conversation, and you can hear theirs.

The 'Route 17' gas station in Independence has a Charley Biggs' Chicken N' Sauce inside After over a decade, we finally tried it. Hey now, that was good.

Remember the Columbia House Music deals? Wasn't it something like any 11 tapes or records $1...or 12 CDs for 1 cent? Did they get you?

Peyton was interviewed extensively for the new book Don't Stop: Why We (Still) Love Fleetwood Mac's Rumours. Author Alan Light learned of her interest in the album when he was reading my Random Thoughts last year!

Did you ever draw 'Tippy' the turtle and send it to the company that advertised in the back of comic books? I did!

Have you seen the Amos Music Lollipop Candy? Google them. Think sucker that allows you to hear songs in your mouth, while wearing earplugs. Kelly got them for Thanksgiving postmeal fun. We were freaking out! One of the strangest things I've ever seen. Makes no sense. And only you can hear it.

Flipping channels, I saw Juan Epstein (Welcome Back Kotter) and Marcia Brady (Brady Bunch) on The Love Boat!

On a TV commercial whim, we stopped at Sonic and created a Mango jalapeño Coke (me) and Peach w/ sweet cream Coke (Kelly). Pretty next level good. Slices of jalapeño in mine!

Myles Murphy, you have my attention and interest.

Have you seen the prices at Vintage shops? Man, I should have saved my stuff from the 70's and 80's.

Please....please.....don't worry about things you don't care about
