Happy Thanksgiving, Be Grateful For Family, Stay Warm

 I remember growing up in the 50s & 60s how important Thanksgiving was as a FAMILY holiday.  We'd start with the Zabrecky's in Whiting for a midday meal then head to south Hammond to the McSemek's for another huge evening meal.  Those were wonderful memories with FAMILY members many no longer with us.  After I married Paula, it was Thanksgiving with the Dybel's.  She would so love Ethan as now every Thanksgiving is with Justin & Emily.

Those of you who still have Mom & Dad with you, cherish this day.  Be grateful for the life they gave you and how you will carry on this tradition long after they have passed.  Family, I pray for those of you who haven't had good family memories.  May you someday find peace.  I just want to find warmth again!  Bowling Green was 37 this AM and the forecast is in the 20s the next 3 days.  I fly back on Monday BEFORE some snow might arrive on Tuesday.

The Great Lakes snow machine is in full force.  Fortunately, southern Kentucky is in sunshine, but it's still in the low 40s.

i see NOLA also is in full sun, but you're 12-15 degrees warmer.

With my flyback scheduled for Monday, the NOLA forecast is not encouraging.  Plane will probably be delayed?

As I mentioned yesterday, my next podcast will be from the Corvette Museum and I'm hoping Justin can get me to one of the local bourbon distilleries for another podcast.  Of course, you won't be able to watch either unless you subscribe at bobbreck.com.  During the summer, this is a hurricane blog &  podcast.  In the colder months, it'll often be about life & FAMILY.  Happy Thanksgiving Gang.  Stay tuned!

Saying Goodbye, Winter chill invades Lower 48

 Part of the purpose of coming to Kentucky was to have my sons together for Thanksgiving.  The other was to help haul up furniture that I can't fit into my 800 sq. ft. apartment.  We almost accomplished both except my older two need to be back in Albuquerque for this weekend.  So they left today and it's always hard to say goodbye.

not sure if it meant anything, but this picture popped up on my phone today.

Being a spiritual guy, I am thinking it's Paula's way of saying carry on and be happy.  Whatever, it's gotten cold up here with 20s expected at night.  Why?  look at the upper air flow.

All of Canada is single digits and the cold air is pouring down the plains into the Gulf south.

Each front gets a little colder as the seven day indicates.

By the time I return on Monday, I'll need my heavy coat.  My move into Copeland Tower happens next Wednesday and I'm ready to meet new friends and get back to being happy again.   Remember, my next podcast will come from the Corvette Museum so go sign up to watch.  Going to try to do podcast from a Bourbon Distillery.  bobbreck.com.  Stay tuned!
