hello winter

we haven't got nearly as much ice and snow that the doomsday weather assholes on the television were saying we were going to get... of course, it's still snowing like there is no end in sight. i didn't have a hard time getting out to feed the cats this morning, but i didn't press my luck and try the streets. i figure they will be better tomorrow. at least for one day before the next storm hits.

my alma mater stunk last night in high school football, losing 24-0. i feel bad for the senior class. 4 straight trips to the final game and only 1 title.

the New York Rangers played a pretty good game last night. but, when you're playing one of the worst teams in the league, you're supposed to win. highlights below:

i got off to a really good start in fantasy football for the week. i've got a feeling i'm going to need it. thank you Andre Johnson.

kind of got bombarded with Yankees news this morning. i'm a little bummed that Cano has gone to Seattle but if someone is dumb enough to offer him that much money, i understand. he can be their non hustling superstar. i get the feeling in 3 years they will be looking to trade him. probably back to us. i wasn't surprised that the Grandy man went to the Mets. i figured once the Yankees signed Jacoby the writing was on the wall. i am pretty happy that Kuroda is coming back for another season. hopefully they sign a few more pitchers with the money they didn't spend on Cano.

i did watch the draw for the World Cup this morning, team USA is in the group of death with Germany, Ghana, and Portugal. if they make it out of that group, go ahead and make the coach a saint.

this afternoon i decided to escape the tv and computer for a bit and write. i put on some music and just stared at the blank page in front of me. about 40 minutes later, i had 10 poems. not bad. i imagine i will type them up sometime this weekend.

i enjoyed The Big Bang Theory last night. i've watched the show so damn much over the years now that i am saying dialogue to new episodes that i think the character will say. spooky how many times i am correct.

not sure what i'm going to be watching this evening. i know i have a big sports weekend on tap. tomorrow alone will be a Manchester United, New York Rangers, Ohio State, and Dayton Flyers day. i will probably be on here after the United game. i think they play in the morning. yikes, just checked, 7:45 in the morning. yeah, so i guess i will be getting to bed early tonight.

hope the weather is better wherever you happen to be. or, you have plenty of alcohol to get you through it. until tomorrow.
