Watched Peyton & Eli’s Spooky Halloween special on ESPN+, where they team up with fellow Ghostbuster Jerome Bettis to catch the ghost of George Gipp. On season three of Peyton’s Places he races helmet cars at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway with his old Colts center Jeff Saturday, with Pat McAfee calling the action. After the episode was aired Saturday was named the new head coach of the Colts, and won his first game.
Peyton journeyed to Detroit to exonerate the curse of Bobby Layne, with the help of Athens GA born actor / blues crooner Jeff Daniels. Comedian Keegan-Michael Key reinacted Kung Fu Billy Simms. Later Peyton takes batting practice at Coors Field with Bronco QB Russell Wilson.
Looking forward to “The Manning Family Christmas Special”, “Peyton & Eli Save Christmas”, and “Cooper’s Naughty New Year”.

Sunday Matt Ryan broke a dubious record: his 39 yard run equalled his age - the oldest QB with a run equal to his age.
The Bible verse “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” was painted on a teacher’s parking space at a public high school in Florida. Another teacher feels the verse is “attacking” her.
Digital ID’s will soon merge your online identity and reputation into a “Trust Score”. If “they” don’t like what you post on social media, you could be denied credit and/or utilities.
Books about success: (1) Shoe Dog by Phil Knight, (2) Principles: Life & Work by Ray Dalio, and (3) Trillion Dollar Coach. There are others that I’d either already read, or wasn’t interested in.

Monday: left work at 5:15. Stopped by McDonalds on the way to small group. A good discussion with John and Robert. Lifted weights this morning at the gym.
PAUL MOLITOR [SABR Bio] had the longest consecutive game hitting streak since Pete Rose. Rose had a streak of 44 games in 1978. Molitor had 39 game streak in 1987 that garnered so much attention, it started to be called “the Mollie Watch”. That same year, Benito Santiago’s 34 game streak set records (a) longest consecutive-game hitting streak by a catcher; (b) longest consecutive -game hitting streak by a rookie; and (c) longest consecutive-game hitting streak by a San Diego Padre. Molitor once stole three bases in one inning (on 26-Jul-1987), and had five hits in a World Series game on 12-Oct-1982.
DENISON: in our secularized, post-Christian, even anti-Christian culture, many divorce religion from morality. As I noted recently, more Americans think morality should be based on “what you feel in your heart” than any other source, including the Bible. in his first inaugural address, President Bill Clinton declared: “”There is nothing wrong with America that cannot be cured by what is right with America.” Aristotle asserted, “Moral excellence comes about as a result of habit. We become just by doing just acts, temperate by doing temperate acts, brave by doing brave acts.” George Washington had a prophetic word for this dangerous fallacy: “Let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion. Whatever may be conceded to the influence of refined education, reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle.” Some religious leaders and denominations reject biblical sexual morality and endorse elective abortion. Today only 37% of America’s pastors hold a biblical worldview.
Blast from the past: JM Tull sales training a.k.a "Charm School". August 9, 1988 - easy to remember, as it was the same day Edmonton traded Wayne Gretzky to Los Angeles. I have a way of finding a place in the back. I don't rember everyone, but the back row includes (L_R) John Sutton, Keith Shedd, Greg Wheat (current owner of the Midtown Butcher Shop), and Bart Knight. I'm the only one still with the company.
