FOOTBALL
Arizona vs. Carolina.
I just hope the Cardinals team that won quickly in overtime last night will meet the Panthers who went scoreless in the second half today.
Meanwhile condolences to the Packers and Seahawks fans.
There's always next year.
And special condolences to my Gentle Readers who have no time for sports.

FAMILY REUNION NIGHT OUT
I wrote earlier in the week about Judy's son coming out from Indiana for a visit.
He flew back home yesterday.
But he took us out for dinner at The Palace in downtown Prescott the other night.

But he took us out for dinner at The Palace in downtown Prescott the other night.
I kid him a bit about his hair loss but he takes it well.
We had a good meal and more chatting with his sister, the BRD.
Our waitress was a little cutie and I couldn't resist taking a photo of her.
Judy and I don't go out at night very often and we hadn't had a chance to see the Christmas lights on the courthouse square just across the street from Whiskey Row, where the Palace is located..
Fortunately they hadn't been taken down yet.
Much of that lighting is due to a fund raiser Tommy Meredith puts on every year before the holiday.
Tommy is the owner of the Jersey Lilly Saloon above the Palace.
This year was his best ever as he raised over 30 thousand dollars for the holiday lighting.
Prescott is a neat little town with a lot of good people.
It was fun to visit once again.

FRIDAY FUNNIES
Yea, though I travel through the valley of Republican political debates, I shall attempt to find some humor in life.
There now. That wasn't so hard after all.
Have a scintillating weekend, Gentle Readers, and always remember to keep chuckling, chortling and guffawing.
Here Kitty, Kitty . . .

THROWBACK THURSDAY
I have related in this blog some of the adventures and misadventures of my career in radio and television through the years.
But you should know, it wasn't always serious business.
This is a lighter moment at the Republican National Convention in Dallas, Texas in 1984.
Catalyst, then Senior Producer for KPNX-TV, Phoenix; now retired.
Jim Benneman, then a Washington correspondent for the Gannet News Bureau; now television anchorman, KCNC-TV, Denver.
Al Macias, then a producer/assignment editor for KPNX-TV, Phoenix; now News Director, KJZZ-FM, Phoenix.
Tracey Lyons, then a Washington correspondent and producer for the Gannet News Bureau; last I heard, Senior Producer, NBC Nightly News.
All of that talent but still a bunch of wild and crazy people.

WHAT A DRIP!
Recently, the tree above the bird bath was coated in snow.
But, as I've often said, snow doesn't last long here in the High Desert of Arizona.
And it wasn't long before the sun began to do its work.
But, as I've often said, snow doesn't last long here in the High Desert of Arizona.
And it wasn't long before the sun began to do its work.
The moisture formed by melting snow began dripping and I watched the drops hit the bird's basin.
The snow cat in the background also was watching.
Drop by drop the white stuff began to disappear.
I know what you're thinking.
"Catalyst has too much time on his hands."
Or maybe, "Watching snow melt is like watching paint dry."
Both expressions may be true.
So be it.

TUESDAY TRAVELS
The Hofbrauhaus in Munich, Germany
Great city, great beer, great barmaids carrying three or four of those big ones in each hand.
Prost!
