The Last Twinkie

Today Molly and I spent a few hours hanging out at my Grandpa's house putting up his Christmas decorations.  He usually has a stash of Hostess products in the kitchen, but given the current state of Hostess, I made particular note today that he had exactly 1 Twinkie and 1 Cupcake.  I told him he could probably sell each of them for a good chunk of change and he just laughed.  Molly found the Twinkie a while later and decided she wanted to eat it.  I decided we had better document it.

Here it is . . . the very last Twinkie


By the way, my grandpa thinks that the whole "going out of business" is just a scam to break the union and that Hostess is going to come back probably sooner than later.

By the way again, I just looked on Ebay and a box of Twinkies is going for $20-$30.

These are the pictures that will likely NOT be going in anyone's Christmas cards this year.





Hunter Basketball

The Hunter basketball season is now underway.  The Wolverines are 1-1 after two good games this week.  On Thursday they played a hard-fought game against East.  The kids started out a little rusty and East took advantage of that.  Plus, East has one high scorer who rarely misses and Hunter had a hard time shutting him down.  It was a good first game, though.

On Friday night we ventured out to Grantsville to watch another battle.  Hunter came out on top of this one and Willie played awesome.  Though he bricked a lot of shots in the first half, he finally had a few fall in the second, but he played excellent defense and had lots of rebounds.  They looked a lot more relaxed and put together this time.

Here is the schedule if anyone in blog land would like to mark the games on their calenders.
