The puppies are cuter in person:
Also, a reader sent this in, which seemed to fit the Holiday moment:
Maybe I will have something to say later on, but for now, this is it. Surprisingly enough, Tunch seems to have behaved while I was gone.

I think I need one of these for my house. Not sure how Tunch would feel about that, though.

Been a pretty acrimonious day in the comments, so time for a breather:
Let’s all act like the cool cat and calm down, including myself, as I am prone to saying obnoxious things when I think people are over-reacting to things.

Another quick puppy video:
Also, watched a couple more episodes of Heroes (episodes 3-5), and I have to say I am enjoying it. A couple things are pretty predictable- it is clear to me that the short-haired brunette is clearly working for the “bad guys,” whoever they might be, and it is also clear that Peter is not able to fly, but is an empath (I think that is the right term), and able to use the talents of other people around him.
And, it goes without saying that it is always a solid business decision for a network show to have lots of scenes with Ali Larter prancing around like a tart in various stages of undress.

I am pleased to report the puppies are doing well, and they are being fed a steady diet of stuffed animals. I also note that their new Steeler dog collars (all Cole dogs wear them) were in place for yesterday’s game against the Ravens:
That is all.

BTW, I started watching Heroes last night. I watched the first two episodes and it was pretty solid. I think I am going to give the whole first season a shot over the next couple of weeks, but I had a couple questions. What season is currently airing on NBC? Does it go down hill, and am I setting myself up for another Lost fiasco, in which I get totally into a show and then it becomes an impenetrable and unwatchable series of disjointed nonsense and I give up in disgust?
I suppose all shows are like that to some extent- I got tired of BSG after 2.5 and quit watching, and even though I loved Buffy, after she started sleeping with every vampire in sight and morphed into Buffy the Vampire Layer, it became harder to watch. Nothing was as bad, however, as Lost, which always had a premise that was hard to swallow, but rather quickly became too absurd for even tv fiction. At any rate, I suppose I will watch Heroes simply because Tawny Cypress is absurdly good looking. That will keep my attention for at least the first season.
Let the nerd fury begin.

Kind of tired and still trying to get a bunch of stuff done before the holidays, so no more from me tonight. The heating pad and ice rotation and alleve seem to be working, btw, so thanks for the advice.
Also, it appears that the Obama children were not the only ones who were promised a post-election puppy, as Joe Biden is now the owner of a new dog.
Finally, this picture just came in, and even though I have about 75 pet photos to still get out there from you all, this gets moved to the top:
I will spare you all the obligatory Ghostbusters reference.

Via LGM, the best scientific work ever:
“Research shows that the bigger allowance you get from mom and dad,” explained Andrew M. Sum, director of Northeastern’s center, “the less likely you are to work.”
No kidding…
