CarolinaM 235 - A half-life of 700 Million Years

Bullez up one on the Heat at the half.

Most of English football off this week due to snow storms and lack of snow removal equipment

i saw that, sucks but shit happens. looking forward to the xmas/boxing day matches, i'm not sure my parents have fox soccer channel but i'm going to see. if not i know there are a couple of soccer bars in pdx that show them

Safely arrived in Tarrytown about an hour ago. Lesson learned - don't ever ever ever take the Turnpike all the way to the GWB on a Saturday night. Use the Garden State and the Tappen Zee instead.

You can probably guess that I really don't stress too much about gray hair, either on my head or in my beard.

Your hair? You don't have to worry about it, ...











unless you're near a mirror.

Wish we wouldn't have played. Lost 0-2 at Leeds.

just found out the parents have fsc, so my week will be made, non stop soccer. might hit a bar or two for some matches as well. apparently a couple of soccer bars open early for european matches in pdx.

Unless I was going into the city, that's the only way I ever went -- Garden State/Tappan Zee/Cross-Westchester. The one exception was when I moved here from Cambridge -- I was towing my car behind a truck, and the truck restrictions on the bridge meant I had to cross at the GWB.

One hell of a 49th birthday weekend to remember for my favorite teams.

D. McNabb (Redskins) shoved to the curb by Shanahan
Perkins (DCU): Gone
Fridge (Terps): Gone
Gilbert (Wizards): Gone
Caps: Lost their 8th straight
Wizards: Lose a heart breaker to the Heat

Hello from Tarrytown, everyone!

fixin to hit the pancake house then get the boy's haircut then buy some groceries

Or drive a bit longer and take the toll free 287 from Exit 10 on the Turnpike. Then the KY Thruway to the Tappan Zee. We had no traffic coming home yesterday even the toll plaza in Delaware.

Yesterday and today we have the whole mishpucka here. All three kinder and me and my bride. LBdottir has to run up to NYC on Monday through Wednesday. But my eldest and LB2 are here all week. She's telecommuting from here this week and he's off for semester break. I can't believe it but he's only got three semesters of college left!

We put up the tree last night.

Went to a Wolves/Leeds game there once. Tough place to play. There is one huge stand that gets really loud.

I always think of this:

Have fun. Pop in and chat.

Hi Mike

wilco

wow return of the full house! you and Mrs. LB might have to sneak off somewhere for a couple of days and get your privacy back lol.

my parents are having their first full house in at 10-12 years and first ever xmas with a grandchild.

No prospects of grandkids yet.

Some really good NFL games today with playoff implications on the line

Saints @ Ravens, Jaguars @ Colts, Eagles @ Giants, Falcons @ Seahawks, and Jets @ Steelers.

well in our experience it came as a surprise to us all, though one might say the joke was on me

big action on my street today. water is bubbling up from the seam between the gutter and asphalt on the road. wssc sent a truck out and dude looked at it and drove off. its still flowing pretty fast into the storm drain. its also disturbingly brown

I have vague childhood memories of Tarrytown. My sister Pat went to college in Tarrytown, at a school that doesn't exist anymore; I went there for her graduation.

Probably brown just because it's coming up through dirt. If it's flowing pretty fast, it's coming from a pipe under significant pressure, so it's probably not sewer.

Hope they fix it soon, or it's gonna freeze on the pavement.

I guess this means I won't be coming back from MA to 60 degree temps like I did back in 2008. I fly back on the 27th, so storms on the 25th and 26th here likely mean travel disruptions / storms in New England on the 27th. Damn. Guess I better bring the laptop after all. For now it will be 30 and sunny where I'll be but it's worth monitoring nonetheless.
