I had a great Thanksgiving and I hope you did too. I drove home to see my family in small town in Iowa called “De Witt.” It’s about a 6 1/2 drive from Cincinnati (in my car) and it usually drags on pretty bad. Tons of cops and holiday traffic didn’t help this time but overall it wasn’t bad.
My entire immediately family (except my twin brother) still live in Iowa. I visited with my parents and my older brother and sister.
One of my favorite things about going back home is the pace at which things move. Slloowwwwwwwwwlyyyy!! It’s way slow. There’s not a lot to do. Less restaurants, stores, etc.. In fact, if you want to do anything of substance you have to drive at least 20 minutes to Davenport, Iowa. That type of thing gets old really quick. That’s part of the reason I moved when I turned 20. Going back home to visit isn’t a problem though.
I love living in Cincinnati and I like the pace of big city but it is nice to slow things down every now and then. Not much changes in small towns and there is something comfortable about knowing that. As they say…”there’s no place like home.”
Happy Holidays!

Notre Dame fired head coach Charlie Weis on Monday after a disappointing stretch of four losses to end the regular season.
“We have great expectations for our football program, and we have not been able to meet those expectations,” athletic director Jack Swarbrick said in a news release.
There’s been speculation that University of Cincinnati head coach Brian Kelly will be considered among top candidates to replace Weis.
Kelly said in an interview Monday that he has already received business cards from South Bend, Ind., real estate agents.
Swarbick said he recommended to the university president Sunday night that Weis be let go with six years left on his contract.
Assistant head coach Rob Ianello will step in for Weis until a new head coach is hired.
The Fighting Irish started the season 6-2 but finished 6-6 after four consecutive losses.
Weis had a 35-27 record in five years as Irish head coach. His .565 winning percentage was worse than the .583 marks of his two predecessors, Tyrone Willingham and Bob Davie.
No surprise that Matt Lauer asked Taylor Swift about “that Kanye moment” during “NBC’s People of the Year” television special and whether it felt like an out-of-body experience for her.
And here’s what Taylor had to say after thinking it over for a second.
“It just all happened really fast … and it took a second to realize what was really going on. I was really confused, because the crowd started booing and I didn’t know why. I’ve never been on a stage with the entire crowd booing before. So I was just devastated … because I thought I’d done something wrong.”
When Matt asked Taylor whether she understood what Kanye was saying in that flash of a moment, she laughed and responded with a laugh, “Yeah, I got what he said! I definitely heard what he said.” And then she added, solemnly, “But I try to focus on what people did for me, coming to my defense … and Twittering their support. That’s what I try to focus on, because I don’t want to have a grudge … I really just appreciate how nice everyone was to me when I had a really, really weird day.”
