And On This Day----January 3

--The Giants quit.
--The Steelers wondered how they lost to the Chiefs, Raiders, and Browns.
--JaMarcus Russell played his last game as a Raider (I hope!)

More importantly, I had lunch and a great time with one of my bestest friends, which doesn't happen enough.

Now, I hit the hay to start a new chapter in the AM. And it'll be cold outside. Good. I'll need the invigoration. :)

And on this day.......

The medicine used to help me sleep early also helped me sleep too late into the day itself. :(

Therefore I didn't do as much as I wanted to, but did get some important groundwork done on some things this afternoon, then proceeded to Ukrops, followed by a game of Life and Scrabble with the kids while Mom served that expensive coffee.

What's YOUR New Year's Resolution?

Leave a comment on the post and tell us what you hope to accomplish in 2010!

And On This Day.........

We rang in 2010 in the midst of a Scrabble Doubleheader at my brother's house in New Bern, North Carolina. Out of four players, I finished last in the game played mostly in 2009. I won the game played mostly in 2010. Good sign.

My brother had his scanner on through the evening and we listened to the rowdies of New Bern, et al, cause their New Year's Eve heartaches. Who needs cable when you have a scanner?

The usual overnight insomnia commenced and I finally fell asleep around 5:20. Got up at noon, packed, ate, and we left for Virginia at 1:15. 3 1/2 hours later (record time for my driving) we were home.

Mom went to work at Starbucks, Dad ran up to Ashland to do a radio station log for tomorrow, then came home to play a monster game of Scrabble against Robbie and Rachel.

I won that one, too.

A good Day One of 2010. So glad to have the "00's" behind me. :)

Miami should've listened to Dr. Z!

So.....with Chad Pennington on the shelf....

Imagine if the Miami Dolphins, in 2001, had listened to Dr. Z at Sports Illustrated, and took the man he suggested in the draft some eight years ago.

Think things might be different today?

OMG! Albright thinks she's a hottie!

Click the title and see CNN's John Roberts blush at Madeline Albright. Thank you, Marty at Chickaboomer!!!

I'm sorry, but I can't think of anything Albright could do that would make me blush, or react at all, for that matter. I'm sorry, but, well, she's not all that.

I'll be nice and leave it at that.

Ugh!
