Phelps and Favre

I think I want the entire day yesterday without hearing the words Michael Phelps or Brett Favre!! (Although I was like a little kid hooting and hollerin' for Favre Saturday night in his first game with the J-E-T-S Jets!)

weather or not

I watch the Weather channel a fair amount. Love the predictions, so I can plan some things. Also get a kick out of green blobs moving on the radar. BUT, they got WAY too excited - almost happy - about the oncoming Fay this weekend.

English football returns!

The Premiership is back on the pitch this weekend. wahoo!!!
