Taking a break from smoking the beef shoulder roasts and checking the Dope ------- and waiting for some football. At least some American Football. Can’t find any rugby on anywhere on FIOS today. They have a golf channel and a hunting channel ---- why not a 24 hour channel for broken teeth and bloodshed? OK -------- CNN maybe. But its not the same. (Although I have to admit that even rugby is getting wimpy since I was younger. You hardly ever see someone trying to continue a match with their eye gouged out these days.) ---

Decided against deheathenation today, since I’m not sure I’m not working on whatever plague is going around at irk. :mad: Virtual (thus contagion-free) hugs to all who need or want them. ---

Have you heard the old joke about a street musician who was so bad, people paid him so that he wouldn’t play? Well, it looks like I’ll be getting paid for not playing my bass clarinet! (But it’s because someone is renting it from me, therefore I won’t be playing it, not because I suck. 😛 ) ---

At one point this morn, every interstate was shut down at some point, including one 56-car pileup. :eek: :eek: Also, all the major toll bridges were closed. Breakfast was eggs, (turkey) snausages, hash-tans, & garlic bagels. Sorry, **red** but the roads were too icy to invite you over. It has warmed up to above freezonious but rain was falling at rate of \>1"/hr so mebbe frozen pizza for dinner instead of going to supermarket as was originally planned. > [@FairyChatMom](#): > > I’m watching an old NCIS - the one where Kate’s dead, \*\*Ziva \*\*and Jenny are introduced and Ari gets killed. What about Taz? ---

> [@carnivorousplant](#): > > They got Siegmund un Die Walkure last night, damn their eyes. > :mad: They killed the wabbit? :eek: N.O.L, was nummy plus enough left for OYKW to take for N.O.L. tomorrow and for me to take to N.O.L. Tuesday. Tomorrow bein’ a holiday for me I don’t need N.O.L. for tomorrow. Also, tomorrow night is men’s night over to the church house, so steaks are marinatin’ and beer is chillin’. I’ve also had a nappy poo. OYKW is doin’ laundry. We may or may not meet up to go grab some dindin later. He took the rest of his ice cream cake (minus a hunk for moi) with him so he may not want dindin. 😃 ---

**Taz** is in the commercial breaking up all the bird collector plates. Boring irk day, I hate when the phones are slow. It looks like the sun is trying to come out. Sah-son wants pancakes for dinner so I said I’d make them. I think he is old enough to make his own but he likes to be a little spoiled sometimes. He’s not looking forward to heading to my mothers tomorrow, neither am I. I hope the doctor goes through the wrist and not the groin. Thinking about going in the hospital makes my stomach churn. ---

Just a quick driveby to say that I’m about to head for the plane to Phoenix. I’ll be there all next week, cuddling the baby, and probably won’t log on anywhere. Just stacking a few things on my desk and heading out. **waves** ---
