TGIF!!

--Finally, a not-very-busy workday. First one like this in a while. This is our busy season.

--Fof3 played hoops with the 40+ gang last night. I did better than the week before. After each game, I assess what it is that I need to work on... this week revealed to me that I need to use my hands in a stronger way, drive to the net more and limit the amount of bad passes I make. <--These come from fatigue, something that is improving each week.

--Because of basketball I missed the Apprentice. Mof3 says it was very good and next week's finale ought to be great. We, of course will not see it (or play basketball) as it's the Christmas Show at the kids' school. <--Yes, Christmas show, not Holiday show. (By the way, I'm not sure of the etomology of the word Holiday, but wouldn't it appear to be derived from Holy Day?!!?)

--Snowing in NYC right now. Not as much as they had predicted, but it is coming down.

--Congratulations to my man, Liam who makes his first Reconciliation Sacrament tomorrow. <---Better bring a Snickers bar with me, it's gonna be a lomg confession. <---Haha, Liam, just kidding...you're a good boy. (And I know I can't eat Snickers in Church!!)

--Fof3 listening to Bob Seger now. <---Underrated singer.

--Spooky thing happpened to Caitlin. At yesterday's drama class, the kids were asked to improvise a scenario with an"emergency". They came up with a plane crashing on a runway. She and her friend told us all about it last night, then we saw the tragic runway accident in Chicago. <---Caitlin is freaked out about it.

--Pray for the family of that little boy. Tragic.

--My New York Rangers are .... ready for this?..... In FIRST PLACE overall in the NHL. #1. <---Shife, Blues vs. Rangers tomorrow.

--Hello Big Mama... thanks for visiting yesterday. Nice to meet you and your family via YOUR blog.

--Ok, enough about you already, how about me? Me? I gotta get SOME work done today. Stay cool, .... and warm. OUT!!
