It's the MOST Wonderful Time of the Year
For me this is the time of year I love MOST!

...and I don't mean the crowded stores, and the spending of cash on stuff. (Though they do seem to go hand in hand) Here's what I love about the Christmas season:
COLD Weather, it's perfect! Kinda bites the end of your nose.
SNOW, till the week after Christmas then it can go away till next year.
LIGHTS, whether its the downtown store fronts (still my favorite) or homes decorated for the season.
FAMILY and FRIENDS, they both go together for Lisa and I since my family is so far away.(Most live in New England, yea.....Patriots fans)
FOOD, who doesn't love food!
GIFTS, and mostly giving. It's fun to find the perfect gift for the person on your lift. Yea it takes some time, but isn't that the spirit of Christmas? Let it take some time and spend it reflecting on the people who are on your list.
KIDS, wide eyed!!!! (don't you wish it could be that way for a lifetime?)
SANTA CLAUS, I'm still bummed about the day Mom, Dad and I HAD a TALK!! I would have figured out the stork and kids thing....BUT Santa?!!!!

OK, so I took a break........
.....you know when you blab on and on for 5 hours a day 5 days a week, a person might run out of things of consequence to talk about. Think about it.

Quick note to friends of my wife, Lisa......get off my ass about her birthday. I have given you people all the ideas I have, there aren't any more. Plus, you've deminished any birthday impact I might have gotten cause I've given you my best ideas. Her birthday is next Saturday the 22nd, live with it! I will be!!!!

How many people you know who are sick? Seems like everbody in the 'burgh has got a cold these days! Including me, second one this fall already!

Don't look now but here come the Pens! Great WIN in Detroit and beating Philly (shootout or NOT) always makes me smile.

Steelers are making me nervous. Confidence got rocked when they lost to Indy last weekend. They had that one and let it slip away with BAD turnovers....so how they play this weekend is anyone's guess. This I do know, we'll have to beat the Ravens in their yard to win the North, and I HATE the Ravens (Original Browns/Art Modell). Hate the color Purple, starting to hate crab cakes....this is bad!

Happy Halloween!!!
Still got MAD Pumpkin Carving skilz! Basic, TRUE! Functional, TRUE! but, I still can impress the wife (condesending) TRUE! Check out these....

Remember to always build in LOW, LOW, expectations, that way, no one gets dissappointed.
If you read my friend Kate's blog, and, no one does (but me) you'll read about the moving of Halloween in Chip Chip Chippewa! Totally, B.S. and that goes for every other municipality that moves 'trick or treat' for any reason. In case you're wondering Halloween is for kids. To quote Lucy from Peanuts, 'We're DOOMED'!!
Couple of quick notes:
Did you think the Bush Adminstration is playing 'ultimate' politics with the strike inside Syria? It could be a MAJOR distraction, and if the electorate is distracted the incumbant party might just win!
Bud Selig continues to made terrible decisions when it comes to major league baseball. The fact the World Series is still in play is reason alone, baseball needs to totally overhauled!
Go see Zak and Miri make a Porno!!! DON'T take your kids!

These things have been rolling around in my head....
....so I thought I'd spit em out and share.

Santonio Holmes is an idiot. I don't care if he does smoke tree, but, seriously, in your car directly after practice? Idiot!!!

Seen the ad by the Republican Party of the Oval Office saying Obama's first crisis as leader of the free world would be his first crisis, period? It's basically the same ad Jimmy Carter ran before Ronald Reagan waxed him. By the way, McCain's first crisis as president would be his FIRST crisis also.

Halloween is October 31st NOT whenever it's convenient for a municipality. It's for KIDS! NOT commerce!

...and if someone can figure out all the players and what happened in this Jennifer Hudson tragedy, please drop me a comment cause I'm pretty confused!

It's a WIERD Time in my life.....

....cause I never thought I'd reach a time in my life where I could find a Vice President attractive. Now before you go 'he's a perv'...I not talking about Joe Biden, I'm talking about Sarah Palin! So hear me out. Sarah Palin is HOT!!! I'm not the first to notice cause my co-host on the morning show really brought it to my attention. I'm not the kind of person who thinks of people on a scale of whether I would sleep with them or not. That's not what I'm talking about. She's HOT!!! She's good looking, she's attractive. She COULD be the Vice president! Aren't they always OLD people? Here's the real problem, I'm old enough to think she's hot! (and NOT be a perv) Also I never had the same thoughts about Spiro Agnew,or George H.W. Bush, two reasons 1) I'm hetero, and 2) they are MUCH older than me. OK, at least I've come to grips with it. Sarah Palin is HOT!!! Does that make me old?
