In honor of the 25th anniversary of The Sopranos premiere I’m making it my mission to rewatch every single episode.
First off, why not?
And you gotta do something when it’s cold out, right?
And if someday I’m trying to remember when this occurred and all my journals have burned and that section of my autobiography has not yet been completed, I wanted it noted for the record.
Someday I’ll be asked to pinpoint the exact moment of man’s downfall and I will think of the day I purchased a Twinkie latte.
That is all.
For some ungodly reason today in Northern Virginia the high temperature will be about 70 degrees.
That’s quite a difference from last week.
If you want to hear what winter actually sounds like, check out today’s episode of Math and Musings.
With a quick look at this weekend’s “final four” of pro football, one thing stands out: the potential of a Ravens-49ers Super Bowl rematch, albeit without the brothers Harbaugh.
Was that three years ago or four years ago?
Oh wait, that was eleven years ago.
No wonder my son didn’t remember it.
Days off from school really haven’t changed much for me in 35 years… wake up, drink hot chocolate, play Nintendo.
Yeah, the actual 8-bit NES. I’ve had mine since 1989.
I was a different character in the story back then but it’s basically the same show.
I didn’t really need a third snow day this week, but I’ll take it. I’ll take it.
And if you’re home and looking for something to do, check out today’s episode of Math and Musings. My son and I open a pack of 1988 Topps baseball cards and talk about 36-year-old pieces of cardboard.
Classic.
Strictly speaking, a two-hour delay should have one-fourth the value of a full-on snow day.
But no child (or teacher) in America thinks a two-hour delay is anywhere near 25% as good as a snow day. Ten to 15 percent tops.
Yet if you offered me the choice of four two-hour delays in a row or one snow day…
I’d take the four delays.
Figure that one out.
For every day of my life I have an index card with a list of items I plan to do that day.
Today’s card says: whatever the (expletive) I want.
Yup. That’s a good day.
On today’s episode of Math and Musings my son refers to the holiday season as “Tripmas.”
My boy.
Five best places to spend Christmas:
5. Paris
4. Hawaii
3. New York City
2. London
(big pause)
I’ve done only one of these (so far)…
42 Christmases in a row.
A recent press release from McDonald’s trumpets changes in its burgers and buns… beefier, juicier, “better” or some such thing.
Among other changes is a promise of sesame seeds that are “more spread out” on the bun.
Sesame seeds that are more spread out.
Fewer sesame seeds per bun inch.
Well it’s about damn time, isn’t it?
