2. Watching football last Sunday made me think:

a. I hate the loud, talking head boobs that say the same things each week for different teams. They act more like frat boys. Ha ha, Jimmy. Yuk yuk, Coach. Tee hee Terry. The best: Al Michaels and Tony Dungy. The rest are worthless, and don't get me going on our cuties on the sidelines. The worst: Jon Gruden.

b. And the name dropping is shameless: "I had supper with Tom Brady yesterday..., I talked to Manning just before the game..., I tucked Lovie into bed last night..."

c. Ever notice the hyperbole? Every one playing in the game they are announcing is great, outstanding and an example of perfect football specimen. Lord! Add on 5 new wings into the Hall of Fame.

d. Maybe I'm getting grumpy.

3. Up till two weeks ago I had never heard of Lady Gaga.

4. Gee, Tiger's human after all.

5. Notice how pundits always start by saying "listen" or "look" on the Sunday morning talk shows?

6. I am 1st in my newer football fantasy league and 6th in the old one.

7. Passed a census taker test.

8. Dorothy Parker - "I never like to repeat gossip, so listen closely."

9. Why is it we can determine black holes, planetary climates, quasars, meteors, comets, white holes, gamma ray bursters a gillion miles away but can't determine global warming right here on Earth?

10. It is a telling comment on our present news world when Jon Stewart was recently polled as America's most "trusted" anchor.

11.The most interesting thing I learned today is that in nineteenth century England, mail was delivered six times a day to most of London, four times a day in most other large cities, and even twice a day in rural areas. It wasn't uncommon for a letter to be written in the morning in Bath and be delivered in the evening in the outskirts of London.


12. I love Hulu.

13. Brendan is heading to England for a visit on January 8th.

14. Pinks may be the most idiotic TV show I have ever briefly seen. These dumb asses who pour thousands of dollars into old classic machines and get them race worthy, then go up against each other. The winner gets....the other guys car. Dumb dumb dumb. Have respect for your work, for your car, and lastly, for yourself.

15. On good days out here, I swear, there's a beggar on every corner. Yesterday we saw a lady who had scribbled on her cardboard "Pregnant, Homeless, and hungry." Well, lady, don't blame me for that. Another earlier in the day was smoking a cigarette and swigging beer.


16. Covered this town and Clearwater like a cold sweat this week. Still here and kicking. But you oughta feel my pits when I'm driving it. Thank the Lord for Garmin.

17. Yeah, I'm gettin' grumpy.
