1. It is so damn cold out. I hate cold > summer sweltering.
2. No idea who the next Lions coach would be, but man, would it be awesome if it could be Tony Dungy.
3. Rooting for Denver, then Cincinnati in the Super Bowl. Then New Orleans.
4. I've seen two decent movies this holiday season, American Hustle and The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. I think that is two more than I've saw last holiday.
5. The Unwinding by George Packer is sort of a continuation of the Charles Murray superzip theme, where elites and wealthy are stratified away from those of the main. There was a comment on a cnn.com article about what to do with winter air travel delays, and the comment questioned why CNN was devoting so much time to this. Very few travel by air, very few fly, and the media elites just don't get that. I guess I fly frequently, though not as frequently as that 1% elite do. But air travel is second nature. And for most, it is not. Packer's great flaw is not paying attention to the family dysfunction, what happens when the nuclear family unwinds and nothing is left. But a fascinating read thus far.
6. I wish the Red Wings could have won the Winter Classic. Though at least the Spartans won the Rose Bowl.
7. I'm not sure if Kim Jong Un really let his uncle be eaten alive by starving dogs, but the fact that we think it could be true says it all about that regime, no?
8. Best wishes for Detroit's new mayor. At least he isn't already serve to divide his constituents.
9. "White Winter Hymnal" is appropriate for today. Has it been a week since South Padre and Dirty Al's?
10. This day has been unceasingly slow.
