The latest weather here is warm. 40-odd degrees here today, and maybe early tomorrow before the next blast of Winter checks in. The difference on my car outside-temp gauge from Thursday morning to Saturday morning was over 35 degrees. That's Iowa weather for you.
I know that his last name is Kennedy, but does Teddy's endorsement really matter?
I'm thinking now that we need to have an extended-family, extended celebration of Mother's 100th birthday this year. Any ideas?
Mom has moved up the technology curve with the acquisition of a cell phone number. She inherited the equipment from 3, and is now sharing minutes with 4. With 3 on her own plan, finally, it made economic sense for Mom to basically step into 3's spot on the two-line platform that had been the program for 3 and 4 the last few years. My goal of exiting the economic supplementing of dependents' cell phone liabilities is complete. I hope.
Does the Super Bowl have any comparison for excess? TV, radio, print, Internet. All portals have dispatched their PTPs (Prime Time Players) down to Arizona for on-sight coverage. Lots of on-sight coverage. ESPN's Mike and Mike in the Morning are doing their morning radio show from somewhere in Phoenix/Scottsdale all week. Why? Do I care what Snoop Dog has to say about the Super Bowl? I guess it sells airtime.
Speaking of selling airtime, the paper today said that a spot on the Super Bowl was going for a cool $2.7 million. That's serious dough. At least we'll have some Victoria's Secret models displaying their wares to keep it interesting.
The game actually takes a back seat to the side shows. People watching. People doing stupid things. Talk show hosts creating opportunities for uneducated jocks to embarrass themselves on air.
Hope everyone has a nice evening.

we found out at twins fest yesterday that there will be a super bowl commercial featuring 3 of the popular twins players. it will only be broacast locally, so all you outsiders can only imagine how hot morneau will be. even hotter now that $80 million richer.
second semester starts tomorrow. enjoying a little tuscan red before the big week.
love to all.
When I was in the third grade, we celebrated the 100th day of school by drawing dalmatians, you know, the dogs, and colored 100 spots on them.
So, my suggestion is that everyone in the extended clan make a dalmatian. I bet Grandma Horan would love 64 or 65 dalmatians.
She probably loved dogs. Especially dalmatians (even if she never said so). I mean, who doesn't?
