Less than a week away...

--Christmas that is. And my vacation. Hurry up.

--NYC transit strike. Bites. Coldest time of year, tourists from all over the world, Christmas shopping. Strike. Lovely.

--No one else can comment about Randall on the Apprentice? Missed a chance to show some class.

--Rangers still clinging to first place. Barely.

--Kids got a fish Sunday. Fof3 took Caitlin to the pet store to get a fish for her Secret Santa kid and, yes, they coaxed me into getting them one, too. A Betta fish. Blinky.

--Congrats to Fo3's sister, Anita who had a baby last night. (Her 4th child) Tara Patricia. <--Welcome to the world, Love Uncle John.

--Caitlin had a great basketball game on Sunday. The girls lost by 2, but played brilliantly. Another game tomorrow night.

--Liam, my man... I love you.

--Noelle, my little morning angel buddy sweetheart princess. <--You rock.

--Mof3 ... you're the greatest. What did you get me for Christmas?

--Our date turned out to be a trip to Toys R Us and Starbucks. <---We actually had a lot of fun...no kids.

--Getting ready for our big Christmas party. It's gonna be the biggest ever.

--That's it. Leave some word here for me. I appreciate your posts and comments and I thank you for reading.
