My thoughts by Paul M. Dugan

I hope everyone has checkout my blog, Facebook, twitter & Instagram while on my Thanksgiving Holiday to see what I did in text & pictures. I wasn't  interested in this weekend Notre Dame Football game because I was sick & tired of this ok winning season that I can't do anything about. Well I heard ND lost in a close game on the road. We Are ND forever & Go Irish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Take care and Good Night too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I spent allot time hanging out with family that were in town for Thanksgiving. I ate too much as usually for this holiday. We made our Thanksgiving a very yummy holiday for all to see. If you have Facebook or Instagram you may have saw a bunch of pictures from Thanksgiving holiday when I posted them.  Family fun tires you out but it's worth every second to do it.  I saw in college football that Alabama(#1) lost to Auburn (#4), Florida st. won (#2) & Ohio st. won (#3). So right now fsu versus OhioSt for the title before championship conf. title weekend. You think differently at all it up to the polls and  God to tell us who does this. I have been going to sleep ealier also so I can feel better about myself this days. By the way you all University of Notre Dame Football fans or band wagoners I didn't watch much of the the game that ND lost tonight because I was warn out from this season and not feeling well at all. Oh, well Notre Dame still had a terrific winning season just

We are taking the nephews in to see the Air & Space museum very soon. One of the nephews has being to Air & Space #2 in Virginia already. I might get more yummy space ice cream for myself. Take care & have a lovely day. Peace too all!!!!!!!!

Our yummy Turkey from Trader Joe's rocked all the time...

The nephews & there parents got in a little later last night. There all safe here in Virginia. My dog Winnie had a great vet appointment yesterday afternoon. She slept allot also. As you can see my pumpkin pies turned out awesome before thanksgiving day. I have being told I am working on the potato filling for this Thanksgiving. Wish me luck on making it. It's a Pennisyvania Dutch family recipe from the Dugan side. I am pretty sure I won't be watching much of the University of Notre Dame Football play in there last regular season match up at Stanford.  Let me know how that game goes. Take care & Go Irish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Happy Thanksgiving & Peace to all too!!!!!!!!!!! Happy Hanukkah to friends & family too!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Thanksgiving with my pumpkin pies I made today!!!!!

Hope you all got all of your Turkeys and fixings for this wonderful short Holiday called Thanksgiving.  Having some our carpets cleaned this morning. Taking my dog Winnie to the vet this afternoon.  Our nephews are coming in town for the holiday. I charged up our digital cameras & my iPhone to take pictures while the nephews and there parents are here. It was crap rain yesterday but I don't know if snow is coming to our area or not. I am getting better I think at this time. Not speaking allot so I will be on here more to speak & other social media devices. We hope to make our pies today a day before Thanksgiving. We have a store bought apple pie. I am making two pumpkin pies. Mike (younger brother) is making a sweet potato pie. Take care & Happy Thanksgiving too!!! Hope everyone has gotten my e-card from my hallmark card app for the iPhone.

I know not all people watch the college basketball season until the ncaa tournaments start because other sports like the nfl, NBA, NHL, NBA, bpl, mls and ncaa football (other college sports) are still going on.  I have being trying on some of my old Notre Dame stuff (shirts, sweatshirt and etc) & making sure they still fit. I might give then away it give them to my parents to wear. Take care & Go Irish!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's being hard trying to find a job and see if it's worth finishing up with a degree some what from the community college I went to.  Still working on photos of some cool events I went to this year and other events everyone else went to. We just take digital photos so work on them by resizing and print them out for our mom ( other family & friends also).  I enjoy my sports when I watch them & play them also. Boy it's year has gone bad so fast so what happen this year you like. I enjoy visiting family and keep in touch on blog & Facebook with them too. Here are two pictures from the great place on Earth for me called the University of Notre Dame that I got from Notre Dame's web site. Go Irish!!!!!!!!!!! Peace to all & take care too!!!!!

U.S. Men National Team & U.S. Women National Team will do very well in the worldcup .  Go USA!!!!!!!!! fifa is ok just needs technology to help soccer & real football fix it and play nice not dirt. More info on goal-line technology . Rules of the game.

I have updated my iPhone once again.  This weekend I watched some meaningless college football on Saturday.  I went over to our friends who we watch ND FOOTBALL game with last night.  Here is more info on the new rules for college football .  On Sunday I used the lawn mower to crush the leaves all the lawn. Mom made some pretty yummy chili this weekend.  Sorry Uncle Mark it wasn't as hot spicy as your is. New rules for ncaa men basketball. New rules for ncaa women basketball. GO IRISH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 Sorry to say that NDvsPitt game had the worst bunch of commenters known as Bret Musburger & Kirk herbstreit. Why care about where player's went to high school during the game? Go Irish!!!!!!!!!!

Hi..,       I showed no emotion during last night ND Football game lost because my cheering can't help the team anymore. I need to stay away from it right now so I can save myself.  Someone let me know what bowl we head to this season. Go Irish!!!!!!!!!!! I am not missing much to keep my soul intact. Take care & good night!!!!!!!!

Notre Dame Football had too many turnovers, lots injures this season and a supposed head to head shot that the QB of Pitt got away with it at home. By the way that QB had a concussion last by getting a hit in the head. If you don't like my explanation I don't care what you think. That includes espn, CBS, NBC and fox, etc. Go Irish!!!!!!!!!!!

I will only be watching 1st-half of the Notre Dame at Pittsburgh so I can calm myself down easier and save family & friends from my crazy side of me. Other sports teams I route for are:  Cleveland Browns (nfl), Cleveland Indians (mlb), Cleveland CAVS (NBA), all other University of Notre Dame Sports, Washington Capitals (nhl), Washington Redskins (nfl), Washington Wizards (nba), D.C. United (mls), Manchester United F.C. (epl) & Washington Nationals (mlb). But I don't always watch all of this because most pro sports have lots of rich guys who can't work hard to win more games.  Take care out there...

Go Irish!!!!!!! Cheer on Notre Dame to victory tonight!!!! It's on TV - abc channel around the country. South Bend check it out. ND at this time they are fav. by 3.5 points over Pittsburgh. Go Irish!!!!!!! Go Irish!!!!! I am just watching 1st half of the ND Football game to save myself. I get to involved in the game. I need to let go & relaxing and not allowed it to bother me. Take care too.
