Browns up 12-0 over Pats at Gillette can only mean Cleveland will lose by 14 points instead of the usual 21. But what a great first half! *barking noises*

When we were up in Central California, we had dinner at the Firestone Brewery restaurant in Buellton (not the one in Paso Robles) and brought home a bottle of Wookey Jack. I’m going to try to make beef stew with it tonight even though most recipes say, Dear god, don’t use an IPA, it’ll be too bitter! I found this homebrewer’s beef stew recipe that seems to account for the possible bitterness and adjust the flavorings accordingly, so we’ll see how it turns out.

@BruceFromOhio: I could have gone today, my shingles is running its course, but didn’t really feel like dealing with cold and crowds. Almost every time I go it’s an ugly game; field goals, penalties. Saw the Browns here in I think Couch’s 1st year. 9-3, 9-6, something like that. Was there for the Miami game where the Pats were helpless against the Wildcat. Only Pats blowout I’ve seen was when they took apart the Broncos. Plummer was their qb I think.

And for all you (a-herm) late-adopters, the argument back when they held the name-that-team contest was, “there’s no such bird.” At this late date I don’t recall what the other finalists might have been (hopefully not Buccaneers). No doubt there were a few votes for 7-Football-7s. I’d have gone for Pilots II.
We were pretty sports-starved.

@Amir Khalid: Audra McDonaldl would have made a great Maria imo, but I also thought the Captain could have been played by Mandy Patikin so there is that. It would have made for a more interesting production.

Wish I had some alcohol. Not that we don’t have any. Hell, we have a fully stocked bar. But no alcohol that I like. The only thing we’re missing is wine. All I have is cheap cooking Chardonnay, a sweet red dessert wine and a bottle of champagne, which does not suit my mood at all. Come to think of it, we have a couple of small bottles that we got as favors at a wedding last fall. Don’t have a clue what is is but it’s white and the bottle can’t be more than 8 oz. a couple of those may be what the football gods have ordered. Fucking Stillers.

So I turned 37 this year and it got me to thinking that in 3 years I’ll be 40 years old. So I began to reflect on my life so far and I’ve come to realize that I’m not quite close to where I want be in my life once I reach 40 years. So if I want to meet my expectations I’ve got to come up with a 3 year plan to start after New Year’s. Is it too early for resolutions…lol?

@p.a.: And once again, Brady and Pats pull yet another rabbit out of the hat.
NE gets some major credit for cardiac fortitude. Three times this season they have played to win after looking completely out of it. The fans must be aging in dog years at this point.
Though its a loss, hats off to the Browns, I expected a blowout and they played competent hand egg. Way to go Cameron, Gordon, Campbell, and the ferocious D.

Almost impossible to believe consider the score was 7-3 at half (and had little scoring even in the third quarter.)

@Amir Khalid: I’m sure The Christmas Candle was produced as a ‘holiday perennial’ for TV, but there’s a weird “local” American custom of going to see a movie on Xmas Day with the extended family. Mostly, from my experience, in families where everybody feels the social need to Be Together for the Sacred Day, but nobody actually wants to spend that much time talking to each other for fear of arguments. Imagine the whole Ailes-subsidized Palin family going to see Christmas Candle together… just after Bristol’s little boy asks ‘What does it mean when Granma calls Mommy a star-chasing whore?’, and/or or Willow refers to Trigg as ‘the Tard’ on-camera, and/or Todd gets into his hidden stash (midwestern custom is to hide a bottle of alcohol in the garage/workshop in families where public drunkenness is officially frowned upon) and stumbles in cursing his fate & all his relatives… Two hours of nobody talking, the tipsy/angry get to regulate their hormone levels, and by then whoops-look-at-the-time-better-get-the-little-ones-home-love-you-all!
Besides, theatrical release still has more cachet than made-for-TV, when it comes to selling Christmas Candle rights to the networks in future years.

@lamh36:
Couldn’t agree more and a lesson I try to impart to my students as often as possible. Sometimes they look at me like I have three heads and sometimes they get it and thank me for it. I had one call me a couple of weeks ago. She graduated about five years ago and I had encouraged her to pay the interest on her unsubsidized loans while she was in school. You can do that without penalty and save thousands of $$ and years of payments by keeping up with the interest and the payments are not in any way crippling if you have a part-time job. She wanted to let me know that she has paid down more than half the principal of the loan because when she entered into repayment, there was no interest that had capitalized with the principal and she will be student loan debt free in another three to four years, a year earlier than the original loan term. She wanted to thank me. It made my week.

@lamh36: Lots of cultures use the winter solstice (Dec 21) for a “fresh start day” — that gives you enough time to make some plans, and then you can test out those Life Improvements during the season where your family & co-workers are too distracted and/or full of holiday spirits to ask the wrong questions or get on your case about stuff. By Jan 1, you’ll have a better idea which changes you need or want to make, without all the public pressure… and you’ll have a headstart on all those ‘lose x pounds by Valentines Day’ or ‘go to the gym five days a week’ or ‘read a good book instead of watching TV’ plans your friends will be talking about.

Hahahahahahahaha! Good one. I’m no fan of musicals in general or the Sound of Music in particular, but the idea that Carrie Underwood could begin to even think about filling Julie Andrews shoes is ridiculous.
