Top hats and Teddy bears...

Winter landed smack dab in the middle of O-Town on December first!

Whoever (whomever?) figured out our whole calendar system,(I'm pretty sure it was the Catholics,..or the Mayans),had it nailed right to the minute!..The average temperature has dropped 20 freakin' degrees,and I've noted some fairly grisly storm clouds outside,even as we speak.

Okay,..I realize that Winter doesn't "officially" start until the solstice,but it's hard enough to make a point without having to adhere to actual facts..The Republican debates will bear me out on this.

It seems that those party animals in Sudan have pardoned Ms. Gillian Gibbons for her unfortunate faux pas, allowing the students in her class to name their little Teddy bear mascot "Muhammad"....This pleases me,..and probably Teddy Roosevelt as well.

Still,..she needs to get the hell outta Dodge post haste in order to avoid any further unpleasantness...Fair enough.

Last night,I dreamed that my best friend,GB,who (whom?) I haven't seen for 20 years stopped by my 56 room mansion to tell me that he was going to New York.

He was only 3 feet tall,including the beaver skin Top hat he was wearing.

This struck me as extremely odd,seeing as how,up to that point,I thought I only had 27 rooms.

My good friend baybay got himself a brand new laptop this weekend!

He's kind of a rookie at this whole computing deal,so I helped him set up his e-mail,and guided him through some of the perils and pitfalls of navigating the interwebs..He was all grins!

..It's Monday,..and life is cold as a witches' tit in Sling's Domain.
