No time to talk now, the playoffs are on!

"Boonville Switch (Alternate Version)"

Three's a charm they say and I've always liked this version of "Boonville Switch". I was torn between this and the other treatment that was posted only this past Tuesday. Well, the NFL Championship Playoffs are upon us and I'm already glued to the set to see if the NY Giants can manhandle the Philadelphia Eagles. It's likely to be an interesting game.

Here comes the Nor'Easter! -

"We Value Your Opinion"

Well, the BIG storm that's been blowing our way for about 16 hours now has only dumped about 7" of new snow. That's not really much for us except that there's ice in between some of the layers when the conditions around midnight added sleet and freezing rain into the mix. It's been snowing steadily, again, since mid-morning and already a few more inches have piled up. The rest of this Nor'Easter is due overnight and into the morning with another 12" to 18" possible. We'll see. So, what's a man to do but sit inside, surf the net, create artwork, read, eat, nap and watch a football game? I'll be darned if I know of anything else that could better than that! :)

Look both ways before crossing the street -

"Walk, Don't Walk"

Not a lot to say since I'm half way to the couch for the New York Football Giants game and a nap. As it happens, I'm still working with one foot in the past and the other foot in the future. It's also a short week at the office since our Thanksgiving Holiday is this coming Thursday. Since no good deed goes unpunished, I'm likely going to have get most of the end of the week's posting accomplished before Wednesday as well as attempt to get some prep work done for those paintings I keep threatening to do. Ta!
