Tampa Bay- Where it Begins and Ends for former Buccaneer -Vinny Testaverde
Sunday marked the end of a career of a former Buccaneer player. Vinny Testaverde was drafted by the Bucs in April 1987 from the University of Miami after winning the Heisman trophy. He had a great college career in Miami, but struggled during his time here. He threw more interceptions than touchdowns which irritated head coach Ray Perkins and the fans of Tampa Bay.
There is one game that sticks out in my mind because it was my first game at Tampa Stadium. The Bucs played the Chicago Bears in October 1989 and it was Vinny Testaverde that led the Bucs to a 42-35 victory with several touchdown passes. The game was sold out that day and I remember how loud the crowd was after the win. The Bucs did not make the playoffs that year, but the feeling was electric that day.
Vinny Testaverde finished his career with the Carolina Panthers today after 21 years in the NFL. Coach Fox put Vinny in the game with 35 seconds left so that he could finish his career in the city where he started in 1987. Hopefully, Vinny will become a Bucs fan since he plans to retire to his home here in the Bay area. Good luck Vinny!!
Ever since I was a teen I have always had a new year’s resolution. Most of them I have not kept, mainly because I have not gotten rid of my procrastinating resolution. This year I have some of the some resolutions that I had in previous years-at least I’m consistent. This year I need to lose a few pounds, same resolution as last year except with a few extras pounds added. Another thing is to be more organized. A third is to actually stop procrastinating. I could go on and on, but I let’s just stop at three.
Buccaneer fans are happy that their team has made it to the playoffs after being shut-out for the last few seasons, but not that they lost their last two regular season games. Knowing that they already had a playoff spot sealed the Buccaneers decided to rest some of their starters. Today the Carolina Panthers had a 31-23 win over the Buccaneers.
Hope Everyone is having a very Merry Christmas and enjoying being around family and friends. Christmas is the day that is designated as the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ.
Santa has many stops to make across the globe and many times children are tired and sleeping and are unable to see the live Christmas Eve deliveries of Jolly Old Saint Nicholas. NORAD has tracked and recorded Santa Claus and has some very interesting video posted on Youtube.
I do not mind re-gifting. There has been argument about re-gifting and how it is just a terrible thing, but if it is a cool present then why not. Most women would not mind someone re-gifting a Fendi bag or 2ct diamond ring. Now if you want to re-gift that ugly scratching sweater that you wouldn’t even considering putting in litter box, then that is when I have to say “halt!” “Stop!” and “Espara.” The only truly allowable re-gifting is a gift that is really nice. And please do not let it be something that you have worn all over the place. No wants to have something you have been wearing, and that everyone thinks is yours. A re-giftable gift is something that is not used, unless it is maybe antique or collectable otherwise do not re-gift. 
Last Minute Christmas shoppers tell themselves that each year they will start their Christmas shopping early. There are those that start shopping for next Christmas the day after Christmas and just shake their heads at those that wait until the last minute.
