Just got this,

from my 1967 KHS Alum Org, concerning my teammateTom Heller, who was All-State football and B-ball, and started for the Huskers, as a sophomore, (1971-72), considered the best ever college football team, and best man at my wedding. Lots of memories. Unreal, but true, I guess. Makes all my day to day stuff seem really irrelevant and trivial. Will try to contact him...

Kearney High School
Class Of 1967


Our KHS 1967 classmate Tom Heller has been diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), often referred to as "Lou Gehrig's Disease", which affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. Tom has been suffering excruciating pain and some tremors since last October 2012 and has lost more than 30 pounds. He had surgery in Denver this past Wednesday, and feels better now, but please keep Tom and Sue in your thoughts and prayers. You can email Tom at coach.th@comcast.net but Tom may not be able to answer all emails while he's still recovering from surgery. Thanks!

Because I'm sorta stuck in an Anti-Bush rant.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D99NHb6B03s Can you imagine all those rapper stars with these things? Of course, they'd have to have theirs with 'da bling! Can't be standard, gawd no! And of course, Britney's gotta have one in her car. Paris with her pooch totin' one on the red carpet at some fete. The boys in 'da hood will have a field day on their daily drive bys. P Diddy will wear his on a chain around his neck. You suppose there will be special pockets made in jeans for these things? Trailer trash folks will have 'em camouflaged. Jeff Foxworthy will have to come up with some fresh Redneck stuff. Think George W. will get one, each for the twins? Don't forget Dickie boy for those spur of the moment huntin' trips. Of course Ma Babs will have hers with pearls. Think it will affect the Royals? I can imagine Charles and Camilia on their fox hunt...........ah yes, and Prince Philip, too, must include the

Great 'bargains' at the local Sprouts store

where we picked up asparagus and baby back ribs. Carol and I went for the same stuff (serarately, today), cuz it is so good, AND a great price. Had it for dinner tonight. WOW. One of my fav dinners, as the ribs start out in the crock pot, then finish on the grill, with fresh asparagus. (and bread pudding for dessert) I LOVE this time of year...

You think the Repub brand is tarnished now?

Just wait 'til Bonehead leads us all over the cliff, to save his 2% buddies having to pay a little higher tax. The Pubs keep thinking the American public is stupid, and they can get away with their phony political crap. They keep forgetting we're not all a bunch of FOXNews sheep, who'll swallow whatever swill is shoveled to them. A once proud party, like a beast in it's death throes, striking out to harm whatever's close, threatening to shut the gov't down, (again), over the debt limit, which is just paying the bills they already ran up. Political hacks, pretending to be patriots. So sad...
