Make Me Smile Monday - 12/18/2006

It's a beautiful, sunny Monday. It's one week until Christmas, and that always makes me smile. My cards have been sent, my gifts purchased and waiting for wrapping, and I should be in a jolly old mood. But I'm just a bit melancholy on this Monday.

Lamar Hunt passed away last week. Mr. Hunt was a man who did tremendous things for Kansas City. Not only with his support of my favorite team, the Chiefs, but also with his many business and civic involvements. The many words being written and spoken about Mr. Hunt portray a kind, gentle, decent man. I never knew him personally, but I'd like to add my own thanks for all he's done. Mr. Hunt's works have given ME countless hours of enjoyment. Thank you, Mr. Hunt.

Of course, I guess we can smile about the Chiefs. I mean, they got themselves out of playoff contention BEFORE Christmas, so the heartbreak won't come on during the holiday festivities. Something to smile about? :)

I hope you're enjoying the holiday season. This is the final countdown!
