Today’s Thoughts

 Cooler day but still nice.

Football Sunday: Broncos 29  Packers 17 and Cards 20 Seahawks 20

I started looking for airline tickets to Merida for Christmas. Nothing I like yet. Either leave Phoenix at 6am or arrive in Merida around midnight. I’ll keep looking.

Two more hostages released late this morning. Not a lot of information yet, but it is another baby step. Speed it up.

Enjoy
