The Diary of a Nobody/December 1
It’s Sparrow, an average man passing an average life…
Thursday, December 1
All righty, the final day of vacation…Recall, we traveled Wednesday so we were home and in prime position for our usual Thursday day off – preferably being done for the day and in the chair reading by mid-morning – but we had things to do, in fact, we only got one-third of the troika in at the gym.

The Bottom Ten/NFL Week 14
The Bottom Ten/NFL Week 14
By Gaylon Kent – America’s Funniest Guy™
The cream is starting to rise in the race for the most coveted trophy in sports, The Dan Henning Trophy – symbolic of NFL Bottom Ten supremacy – with some space being put between the unchanged Bottom Ten medal stand teams and the teams left wondering about Bottom Ten medal stand glory.
Meanwhile, the eyes of Bottom Ten fan(s) everywhere will be on Green Bay this week, as the Bears and the Packers – losers of a combined seven (7) straight – play in what many are already calling a Bottom Ten Game of the Year nominee.
This week’s mess, as the nags are in the far turn:
1. Houston Texans (1-9-1; lost to Miami 30-15) – 30-0 halftime deficit Total Team Effort (TTE), as offense punts or turns ball over entire first half while defense, well, gives up 30 points…Currrent six (6)-game skid best in NFL…Next Loss: Cleveland

While we don’t keep specific records regarding consecutive hours spent in our robe/pajamas – and we are probably not going to start now – ol’ Sparrow is going to go out on a limb and say the 40-hour period between 1700 Friday and 0900 today was the longest time he’s spent in his jammies and robe…

In 1990 – British prime minister Margaret Thatcher, the first woman to hold the post, resigns and is succeeded by John Major. Thatcher had succeeded James Callaghan in 1979 and was the longest-serving prime minister of the 20th century. Thatcher had first been elected to the House of Commons in 1959 and would remain until 1992.
In 1969 – The New York Knicks establish a new NBA record for most consecutive wins in a single season, winning their 18th straight game, a 106-105 victory over the Cincinnati Royals. The Knicks broke the record of 17 that had been set by the Boston Celtics (1959-60) and the Washington Capitals (1946). The streak would be broken by the Milwaukee Bucks the following season and the record is now 33 consecutive wins, done by the Los Angeles Lakers in (1971-72). The Knicks would finish the season with a 60-22 record and beat the Lakers four games to three in the NBA Finals.
1981 – Foreigner is at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 for the first of a record ten consecutive weeks with Waiting For a Girl Like You. The ten weeks at #2 without hitting #1 broke the Hot 100 record of six, done twice, by Louie, Louie by the Kingsmen (1963-64) and Baker Street by Gerry Rafferty (1978) and the mark was matched by Miss Elliot with Work It in 2002-03. Foreigner was kept out of the top spot by Olivia Newton-John’s Physical and I Can’t Go For That by Hall and Oates.
