Look at my kids again...right here!

--Almost here.

--Christmas is coming and the geese are getting fat. Please put a penny in the old man's hat. <---Does anyone else know this one?

--Despite the illegal NY transit strike, I am filled these days with true, genuine Christmas Spirit. Ralph Kramden said it best during on the episodes of the Honeymooners. "Christmas is a special time... people are filled with the spirit. You bump into someone in the street and say 'excuse me, Merry Christmas."

--We New Yorkers are a lot tougher than a transit strike.

--Since I am the only one here that watches either of the Apprentices, I really shouldn't get into this. But I will. Martha's finale was last night and talk about anti-climactic!! She announced the winner in the most hum-drum, low-key sort of way possible. She made her dead-from-the-neck-up daughter look like Rip Taylor last night. <--you let me down, Martha.

--Knicks almost the worst team in basketball.

--Fof3 plays basketball tonight. <---plan on scoring 30 points tonight.

--Baby Tara is doing great. Her slightly older sister is not adjustong well, though. <---Uncle John will show her the most attention when I get over there and then let her take me to the new baby....like a big sister should.

--Caitlin, Liam and Noelle almost done with school til next year. (06!)

--Starting in January, I plan on changing up the blog a bit. I'll start responding to your posts with a follow up post the way you all do to me. I'll also try to find a new look for the page.

--Anyhooo... gotta run...talk to you all tomorrow.
