Pretty ho hum so far. We stayed home and watched the NFL and were in bed at 11:30pm watching “Blazing Saddles” and then flipped it over to ABC and watched the ball drop, wow Dick Clark looks/sounds rough, but then after a massive stroke and being old as dirt, that should not be a surprise. Anyway, after the ball dropped we kissed each other and watched more of “Blazing Saddles” and started to fall asleep so lights out at 12:30am, we are so exciting.

Today was perfect, the kind of weather I wanted to live in Florida for, January 1 and 79F, almost jumped in the pool. The only regret I have with this house is no heated pool, I would think it would be great to swim in 80F water and not the 68F to 70F that is the normal temperature of the water this time of year, in the summer the water gets to a 95F with all the sun, it sounds hot, but it actually feels great.

Today is not only the last day of the regular season in the NFL, but it is also the Finals of our Fantasy Football Leagues. I ran 3 this year made the playoffs in all 3 and the finals in one, where I am currently down 20 and it’s looking unlikely I will make a comeback. Pauline is also in the Finals in another league and she is also down 20, but has a great chance to getting 20+ as she has a RB, TE and D still yet to play, so I am rooting for her to pull it out. I like FFL, but at the same time I am getting burned out and hate the trash talk, it’s one thing to talk smack, it’s another to talk crap, and I have never been much of a crap talker, I just don’t think it’s needed. Anyway, I am not sure at this point I will do FFL next, but then you never know.

*sigh…. My comeback in FFL is looking more and more unlikely, no championship for me this year, but there is always next year…. Maybe.

I’m not a total scrooge, but I despise this time of year, you cant go to any store even if you need something important, traffic is always bad and down here that’s saying a lot, christians are all over crying they are “being persecuted” (hey christians, here’s a hint, look at the calendar, you see all the “holidays” listed? More then one right? So happy HOLIDAYS)

The only real enjoyment I get is getting gifts for Pauline and of course my nieces and nephew. Everything else is just annoying…. Ok fine, I will say it…. BUH HUMBUG!

We have been working hard the last month, Pauline at her job dealing with the mass’s and me at home stuff.

Well Colts lost last week which doesn’t upset me as some would think, the Super Bowl is the only thing that matters, the undefeated record would be nice, but I think too stressful to concentrate on what the goal is which is the Super Bowl. And with the way the Pats are playing they more then likely will be at Indy for our first game, and honestly, that is what I want, to be the man, you have to beat the man, and right now the Pats are the man and will be the man until they lose in the playoffs which is something that Tom Brady doesn’t do.

As for the Colts and Seattle, this game means nothing now to be honest since Indy has lost there is no reason for either team to play the starters all game since both have home field and a bye week. And now with what has happen with Tony Dungy’s son the Colts will not be 100% either way. My heart goes out to Dungy and his family, what a terrible thing that can net be described by mere words.

Anyway, I can not think of much else for this entry, so to all my friends I hope you are well and look forward to seeing you all soon.
