        Could a sports team really be cursed? For a while many Red Sox believed that to be the case but then they won the World Series and that curse seemed to disappear, or did it just move to a different team?  Many people who root for a losing team believe in someway that this is the case but after watching the Jets last night I believe a few more of their fans should be attending a house of worship before the game. Maybe it’s the way they treated Tim Teebow and Pennington that has brought it on or maybe their plane just can’t find a place to land but there’s no denying something strange is going on.

Last year I boycotted the Jet’s because of the way they treated Tim Teebow, now that I’m backing they break my heart again. The Jet’s had a touchdown pass that was called back, because of a timeout from an offensive coach a second before the catch was made and then an interception that was almost guaranteed to put them back in the game, was called back by an extra foot or two on the field.  It could be me, maybe I shouldn’t be allowed to watch the game or should watch it upside down or wearing only blue. I have a solution,  next week all Jet’s fan’s should cheer for the Patriots if they lose then we know it’s us if they win well at least we can have a victory in our pocket.

I usually enjoy beef ribs but this weekend something changed. The restaurant I attended brought out a huge portion and although initially I was delighted by the last bite I was disgusted with the food. I felt I should finish it because it’s a pity to waste but it became more of  a challenge then a desire. This appears to occur with most of our desires, the great initial feeling subsides as more and more is given.  That’s why I believe in a little taste rather then a big bite. This includes food, drinks, recreational activities or even projects in my house.  We can only enjoy so much at one time therefore space it out and the enjoyment will last a lifetime.

What would you do if you found a few $100 dollar bills on the floor? Most of us would probably keep it because how would someone be able to identify that this was someone else monies  but what happens if there were more clues. Maybe there was a rubber band around those monies or maybe some deposit slip. Would you go to the place near where the monies were found and search for the person who owned it? If you found a name would you try to be a detective and try to find such individual even if there phone was unlisted.  Finally if you were able to find “the owner” of such monies would you return it without a reward?  Is it truly finders keepers in your book or finders find them I’d like to know and why?
