“Holy Winter Wonderland, Batman!”

Once again: It is snowing. I said yesterday that we were to get three days of it in the next week. That has changed again: Including today, we are getting six (6) more days of Mother Nature’s silent mocking laughter.

I have been watching the snow fall for the past ten minutes – it’s gone from nearly non-existent to the large, family-sized flakes. One of the local stations showed traffic on the interstate. It was understandably slow. It also seems that there have already been a few snow-related accidents. Not the most auspicious start to the day.

On a positive note:

  • It’s Friday;
  • It’s the end of the work week;
  • It’s a holiday/three-day weekend.

I’m half-watching Between the Lions, a children’s program on PBS. Julia told me about it a few months ago. It’s interesting, in a “cute” kind of way. They have a segment called “Gawain’s Word,” the mutant offspring of Wayne’s World and The Electric Company‘s segment were two people combined phonetic sounds to create words (“ch”…”eese”….”Cheese!”). The twist here: Gawain, appropriately enough, is a knight in full plate mail armor. And instead of two people on a blank screen, the people are knights on a jousting field. Cute.

Quote of the Morning: Since I’ve been getting up early, I have started watching Live with Regis & Kelly. Don’t ask why. Just accept it… I have. Mostly. This morning, The Artist Formerly Known as “Puff Daddy,” Sean “P. Diddy” Combs, was guest-hosting for Regis. Here is part of the opening chat:

Kelly: “First off…. what should I call you? I think I’ll call him ‘Seanie-Poo.’ But Regis said that your mother calls you that.”
Puffy: *stare*
Puffy: “You can call me ‘Puffy.'”
Kelly: “Am I one of your peeps?!”
Puffy: *stare*
Puffy: “You’re one of my peeps.”
Puffy: “I’m gonna call you ‘Booby.'”

This could be verra interesting….

Anyway, time to start facing the day.

Peace.
