Kathy and I could not be prouder of Kim; her husband; and, obviously my wonderful grandson. They are what America is all about

      The fact that your beloved Aztecs are now ranked 23 in the latest AP Basketball poll did not escape my attention. Enjoyed watching them play football.

        Thanks so much. As you know, it has been a fun season. Hopefully, we can continue to improve. If you head my way, I have season tickets to SDSU basketball this year….my treat.

      Thanks Marc,

      It is not about Big Al and Kathy at all. In this case it is all about Kim, Rick and Braden!

      Big Al who thanks you.

        Dec 01, 2012 01:14 PM

        Yeah, Big Al…but, they must have had a dang good example to follow.

          Dec 02, 2012 02:00 AM

          Well, maybe but I give them ALL THE CREDIT.

    Al:
    Great video and thoughts. My son works for a company that provides 24 hour care to children with life threatening disabilities. Most of these families must rely on Medicaid to keep their children alive. Yet, the more conservative politicians have or are attempting to take this support away and refer to it a “hand-out” or parasitic.
    This kind of political thinking is a symptom of the decay of what was once good about America and its people.

      Hi David,

      I cannot disagree with you.

      Big Al

      Dec 01, 2012 01:18 PM

      Hi David,

      It is really important for me to say that absolutely none of my conservative friends fall into that camp.

      Maybe hard for some people to believe that but, trust me, it is true.

    Hi Al, A part of life and a great story Al, I’m glad it had a happy ending. We should never be too critical of anyone because you never know what they may be going through or have gone through, the whole picture is greater than the sum of the parts. DT

      Dec 01, 2012 01:19 PM

      It is always greater that the sum of the parts, Machine Gun!

    Hi again, I want to be one of the first on this site to wish you and your family happy Holidays, ( irish will be mad I beat him and jerry, marc, james, and the others to the punch) I am listening to traditional Xmas music ie: Kate Smith, and I thought I would pass the message on. DT

      Dec 01, 2012 01:20 PM

      Many thanks Machine Gun. I just took a break from putting up the tree and some additional lights on our deck.

      We wish you all the best also for the upcoming Holiday Season.

      God bless,

          Many thanks Marc!

          What the heck do you mean “no voice”. A more accurate description is a “distinctive voice”!

          Big Al

      Dec 01, 2012 01:12 PM

      Irish…to heck with our looks……its are wit that matters…right!! HAAAHA!

    Dec 01, 2012 01:55 PM

    That was a beautiful example exceptional grace in the face of one of life’s challenges.
    Awesome!

      Dec 01, 2012 01:27 PM

      Thanks Dennis M!

      I stress that it had nothing to do with much of anyone other than my daughter and her family. Oh yeah, and I have to admit that my ex-wife of some 45 years also played a role!

    Dec 01, 2012 01:46 PM

    Hi Al, I know you have a lot of friends in life and that’s all that matters, I consider myself lucky in love but you never know, life is so unpredictable. No matter what if you can reach out to other people they will always revere you. DT

      Dec 01, 2012 01:30 PM

      To me, Machine Gun, it has nothing to do with anyone revering me. It has everything to do with doing what I believe is right and consequently revering myself.

      Best,

      Big Al
