I'm doing laundry and baking the NY Times' 18-hour bread (which is more like 24-hour bread to me, but okay). Now my parents are stopping by, and then there will be a hike with Java Cat, I believe. There are worse ways to start the year.
Mal: Well said. Wasn't that well said, Zoe? Zoe: Had a kind poetry to it, sir.

That's odd, they just sang the Canadian anthem and God Bless America rather than the American National Anthem.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I'm watching the Cotton Bowl. Go Mizzou!
Whoever is directing the broadcast fails at halftime. They went to a bunch of talking heads discussing games scheduled later in the day then to the on-field reporter saying "and now enjoy the Mizzou marching band" ... as the band marched off the field.
I should try to get some laundry done and I have to buy cat food sometime today.

"God Bless America" has become the surrogate red state anthem.

Outdoor Hockey Classic
Is this an annual event? I think of professional hockey as exclusively outdoors, but my knowledge of hockey pretty much amounts to: ice, fights, penalty box, goalie, puck, Bobby Orr.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Doesn't God bless America enough already? Aren't we His favorites and stuff?

Yeah but the Star Spangled Banner isn't particularly godly at all. It was mostly after 9/11 and some country guy had a hit version of "God Bless America" and it sort of swept the heartland as this dawning feeling of "Yeah, let's sing the America song with God right in the title."

God forbid we should sing a song that's a little difficult and actually says something.

Professional hockey is exclusively indoors, otherwise no hockey in Florida.
The outdoor classic is an occasional thing.
I think it's finally stopped snowing there, or at least not as hard. They said before the game it was sleeting. Those goalies look so cold.
