Glen Brammell Journal

I have always dreamed of hitting the lottery. I am sure that many of you have as well. I wonder what I would do with the money. Would I give it away or start a college fund for my kids. I would probably do both. I may spend a little on the side as well.

I heard a story about a man who has hit the million dollar lottery twice over the last three years. His name is Delma Kinney and he is 50 years old. This is a very lucky man. He plans to give away some of the money he won and he can because after all, he hit the lottery before. I would wish him good luck, but apparently he doesn’t need it.

Besides watching football on Thanksgiving Day, my of my favorite things to watch is the news about those who wait for a store to open for days before black Friday. I wonder of these people are really as crazy as they seem. Going through all that trouble just to shop??

I think I’ll do what I always do and that is to stay home and order my things on the internet. Why fight the crowds when I can have what I need delivered to my house. These people are just not thinking to clearly. They are fun to watch though.

Due to the storm, we are all sitting at home. Luckily, the power is still on which is amazing as the storm is raging outside. Anyway, there is not much to do and we are all kind of bored. We are trying to find something to keep us busy.

There is not much on TV tonight and so we are thinking that we may play a game. I don’t know if I can talk my girl into playing a game of scrabble as she always loses. She may not want to play. Anyway, I guess we’ll make it through the night.

Since I had the good fortune to be born in the month of January, it seems that I am a Capricorn. I was reading my horoscope today and was surprised to learn that some good fortune is supposed to be coming my way. Imagine that!!

It turns out that Dolly Parton was born on the same day as I. At least I have some good company in that category. Some other famous Capricorns are David Bowie, Nicholas Cage, and Jimmy Page.

One thing I love to do is to get out on the water in a boat. I like to fish, but I don’t necessarily have to. Just being on the water and seeing the sunlight on the waves as we make our way down the river is a joy to me. Being with the family is another aspect I like. The kids enjoy the outdoors and I like the fact that I am helping them learn to appreciate Mother Nature.

I would like to get a bigger boat sometime in the future, but for now I am happy with the one I have. It’s never left me stranded and that’s something that I like. I hope we can spend many hours on the water this year.
