Hope you had a better Thanksgiving weekend than Tiger Woods.  I know Tiger is not answering questions about his car accident, but if he was and I was there for the news conference, my first query would be “Mr. Woods, sir, why were you leaving your house at 2:30am?  Were you getting diapers for your 9-month-old?  Or going for a scenic Fla. drive after eating a big turkey dinner?” Then I would follow up with, “are you not a billionaire?  Because sir if I was the first pro athlete to ever make a billion dollars from my winnings, endorsements and personal appearances, I would personally want to answer all questions regarding how bad my appearance seems to appear to your adoring public now sir.  And if you have been lucky enough in life, through all your hard work and natural talent, for you to acquire such wealth, wouldn’t you have someone on staff to drive you?  And wouldn’t you have someone on retainer to advise you to not hide and cover up anything that the police might want to ask you?  And why wouldn’t you talk to the cops if you have  nothing to hide?” I’m sure I would be asked to leave that media event if I asked such questions, but inquring minds want to know.  And of course I’m not the only one with many questions about this bizarre event.  Hitting a fire hydrant is bad enough, but to then nail a tree too, well that’s quite a feat. Better get a new driver Tiger.  And maybe new PR advisors while you’re at it sir.

Speaking of the police (who Tiger ironically doesn’t want to speak to) the country mourns the loss of 4 police officers lost in a senseless shooting in Lakewood, Washington, outside of Seattle.  4 cops working their laptops at a coffee shop who get assasinated on a Sunday morning of a holiday weekend, leaving 4 families in shock and all cops on heightened alert.  I’ve always said cops have a thankless, brutal job. They never know when they go to work if they’ll be coming home after their shift.  Thanks to each and every one of them who are willing to do it. God bless the memories of the 4 fallen heroes: Greg Richards, Tina Griswold, Mark Renniger and Ronald Owens.  And God bless all of our troops in law enforcement and the military.

I hope you have a great holiday weekend. No fights with the family, ok?  I have tried to blackout way too many memories from when I was growing up and the brawls that would breakout during our family holiday “celebrations”. Hey, that’s what happens when you have an older sister and three older brothers who each have their own distinctive personality.  Nothing like a loud shouting match to make your holiday even more festive!

I will begin my celebration today in the East End where the Turkey Races will be held.  I don’t know if wagering is allowed but it’s a good excuse to get out and get in the holiday mood.  On Thanksgiving Day, I’ll make my annual trip to my hometown and join my friend Patty Hotchkiss as she opens her restaurant Patty’s Place at 33 S. Main St. in downtown Canandaigua. From 11a-2p Patty graciously serves anyone who needs a delicious free turkey dinner, including the homeless and veterans, or just anybody who doesn’t have a place to go on the holiday. It’s a holiday ritual that I enjoy greatly.  Patty is the sweetest person around. No wonder she was honored by the Canandaigua Chamber of Commerce last year for her charitable giving.  She is what the holiday spirit is all about, giving to others rather than receiving.

If you would like to give to a member of our military who is serving us now, get in the spirit by sharing Holiday Mail for Heroes.  Just sign a card and address it to “Dear service member, family or veteran” and pop it in the mail to this address:

Holiday Mail for Heroes

P.O. Box 5456

Capitol Heights MD 20791-5456

The cut off date is Dec. 7 so the mail can be delivered in time for the holidays.  Your card will be sent to one of 1.4 million members of our military, or one of the 24 million veterans that the Red Cross estimates is still alive today. It takes very little time to make somebody’s day, and it will make you feel good at the same time.  There is a limit of 50 cards per envelope received, so it makes a great school class project for the kids so they remember those who sacrifice for us.  God bless our troops and Happy Thanksgiving to all!
