Snow Day

Right now I like Bama to win tonight (written at noon Thursday). I’ll miss most of the first half.

I’m not excited about the snow. May take off tomorrow…to use up my last 2009 vacation day. The large retention pond outside my window has been frozen over all week…it’s the longest I’ve ever seen a “lake” frozen over.

I’m sure the Braves will be happy to accept donations from any fan who thinks the payroll should be higher…it’s easy to tell other people how to spend their money. It was nice back when we had one of the higher payrolls. As a mid-market team it makes every personnel decision more critical. Why did they sign that Hinske? With those stats, couldn’t they have used a minor leaguer with a bigger upside? Guess they wanted experience to pinch hit, and play good defense…and any decent minor leaguer needs to be playing every day. They have that ex-Dodger first baseman/LF slugger as well. Guess everyone they signed may not make the team…lots of jobs to be decided during spring training.

Will’s friends Abby and Christy (teacher Sandy’s daughter) went to see “The Princess & the Frog”…dressed as princesses! A little girl in line got her dad to take her picture with them.

Saw Amy Adams on Letterman…quite pregnant. Ceil also wants to see her new Leap Year movie. I didn’t realize she was in “Catch Me If You Can”.

Anna got a Snuggie™ for Christmas.

I was thinking about the old high tube socks when the guy in KidStuf wore some Sunday. Looked like he was in the movie Semi-Tough…Burt Reynolds & Kris Kristofferson wore red striped tube socks.
