NEW YEARS EVE

As 2007 is about to begin, I know most people are thinking of their resolutions...I have not started them yet. I hope to have them out by week end, or maybe not.

The only thing I'm thinking about today is if the champagne is chilled. It is!

I am taking out a nice bottle of Dom; since it's just Muffy and I at home tonight. Totally amateur night out there!! That made me think back to the days of Cold Duck and other cheap sparkling wines of my youth. What are you going to on this night; AND what will you drink???

Great Christmas

Wow, do the little ones love Christmas! The kids are still playing with their toys under the tree...It brings back happy memories of my own childhood, sitting around in my pj's with the siblings all Christmas day...then the suit up and off to visit aunts, uncles and cousins (it was ok because we could use their new toys too).
With this warm and rain spell the typical Christmas break ski trip is off. (I know a few people "rock skiing" in VT &NH, fun in March; not fun in December).

Off to make a plan B to keep kids occupied...

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Wow is it really this warm out? I, like most people, love the idea of a white Christmas. However, it looks like this year in the NorthEast we will be having a spring Christmas!!


I am done with my shopping, actually Muffy does most of it, and off to enjoy the almost 60 degree weather. Unlike a lot of people I've bumped into this season I am still enjoying the 24/7 Christmas songs...

MERRY CHRISTMAS and I hope everyone enjoys their time with the family!!!

Bruin up a BCS storm :

So what are the geniuses at the BCS computer room going to do now? With Pete Carroll's USC losing last night it is going to make the bowl selections loads of fun; and I'm sure a lot of people are ggoing to be pissed and will never be happy with the controversy. Is a play-off the answer for the NCAA Football? I'm not sure; but is a computer the picking the top teams the answer?
