Snippets of Thought & Happy Thanksgiving!

Things have been too hectic to be able to blog but some random notes before the holidays:

- Except for today absolutely beautiful weather. Where else can you have sunshine until November 25th! I love Cali!

- Ava’s 6 month birthday passed, she rolls, screams out loud and is such a cheery baby. It’s a blessing to see her grow. Thanks to Katie for taking such a big role in my hectic schedules.

- Too much to do! Accounting midterms, Marketing group project midterms and 2 more group projects due in 2 weeks. The good news? Next quarter it’s supposed to be much worse.

- Went to the Big Game between Cal and Stanford and happy to say I got seats next to the student section and Cal has scored more touchdowns in one game than I have seen from the 49ers all season! It was a great time out. Although I won’t get season tickets, I will buy tickets to the big games such as this one. It was fun to hang with Jeff and Patty as well!

- The Nerf Vulcan EBS-25 is now returned. It definitely looks good but had too many flaws. The gun jams very very often. If you squeeze the automatic feature don’t let go or else it will jam. It also takes a long time to load. There are only certain darts that fit this gun and the chamber clogs very easily. The 6 D batteries are great until someone leaves your gun on and the batteries are dead the next day. There are just too many dependencies and not mobile.

- So I picked up the Nerf Rapid Fire 20 which takes no batteries, takes any type of dart, manual pump, mobile and reloads very quickly. This is the gun you want in a fire fight! http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2326909

- 49ers had a great win against the Rams, but it was the Rams. I feel the team is getting better week in and week out under Singletary but a-lot has to change next season. I say keep Singletary as he is the real deal give him the same time as Nolan and you will see fruits. Mike Martz really needs to adjust to the talent he has or else he shouldn’t be here. The offense needs more than Gore to succeed. We need a few more solid wide receivers and revisit the Offensive Line again. We may want to pick up a veteran QB or if Shaun Hill is the man then train him up in the off season. On defense the Niners need to figure who they are. Are they going to play 3 – 4 or 4 - 3? Whatever it is they need to find a pass rush on defense to rush the quarterback on defense. If there are missing pieces on defense like safety help for the corners these things need to be sorted out. Cleanup the coaches and coordinators and tell the owners to stay out of Singletary’s way. The front office needs to have some better eye on talent in the draft and from free agent acquisitions.

- Looking forward to a little downtime from everything during Thanksgiving with family and lots of eating!

- I am so behind in movies I didn't know there was a new Star Trek Trailer! Check it out! Definetly going to watch this!
