Big Brother 13 Updates

I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving full of family, friends, food and love! Although the times aren't easy these days, friends and family are something that we're all thankful for everyday. While in no way a compete list, I'm thankful for many things this past year: Having friends and family I care about and who care about me. Knowing so many GOOD people who keep my life interesting.

Survivors ready? It's almost time for the show to start here on the East Coast.

It's Sunday morning, time for my weekly off television topic reflection on the week gone by in both words and photographs I've taken. Let's see ... what happened this week? I worked, came home, slept and ate. There. That's all. Well, I guess not quite all. But it's just been one of those weeks.

Marcus and Amani are still at the airport while the other teams are already in Copenhagen! The Roadblock

It's Sunday morning, time for my weekly off television topic reflection on the week gone by in both words and photographs I've taken. This was my first quasi-full week back to work. I actually only worked four days, taking Tuesday as a personal day due to yet another follow-up visit to the orthopedic surgeon. No, there are no issues with the knee. Well, nothing unexpected or needing a doctor
