For some it was a long holiday weekend…for those in retail it was anything but a holiday. Thanksgiving has come and gone and that means we will be reminded time and time again, in many different fashions that Christmas is just around the corner. If you were fortunate you did get to spend some quality time with your family and personally having both our children home together for even a few days was truly great, Alex is back to Penn State but not for long…will be home for a longer break in just over two weeks and Brandon will return from Hoboken to spend Christmas week with us. Sure it’s like a giant buzz saw when they are around but truthfully we enjoy MOST of it.
It’s a tough time of year to get noticed among all the movies that are out but one I recommend is “The Next Three Days” starring Russell Crowe and Elizabeth Banks. It’s got a lot of twists and turns and while a bit slow at times and somewhat unrealistic it’s still pretty entertaining. Not great….but pretty good.
For many high school athletes it’s officially the winter sports season as practice for sports like basketball and wrestling began the day after Thanksgiving. However there’s the matter of some high school football still to be played as 7 Shore Conference teams will play for state sectional championships this coming weekend, including Lacey and Brick Memorial. The undefeated Lions host Delsea on Saturday at 1pm while Memorial takes on Sayreville Saturday night at Rutgers (7pm) in a game we will broadcast on our Shore Sports Network, including 105.7FM.
A funny thing happened to Eagles fans on Sunday….they realized that the road to the Super Bowl is not a foregone conclusion. There is certainly no shame in losing to the Bears but Philly is not a great team and actually I don’t think there is one in the NFL this season. Usually by now a couple of strong Super Bowl favorites have emerged but certainly in this season of parity it is still a tossup.
