It Must Be Cold...

I generally don't concern myself much with weather. I've gone entire winters without using a winter coat, and settled for just a windbreaker, even when windchills were 40 below.

Tonight, I was about to go outside, when I reached to put the gloves from my pockets on my hands and I realized that I had left my coat in the office.

I knew it must be cold out, because I walked back to my office to get it instead of just waiting until the next time I was at the church.

Silly winters in Minnesota, you are not my friend.

Go Big Blue

This post will be entirely about college basketball, read at your own risk...

Cats win again.

I generally haven't been a big fan of players who go to college for just one year before entering the NBA draft, but I'm ecstatic that Mr. Wall decided to play a year for the Wildcats.

I clearly think he looks ready for the NBA, and won't want him to leave, but if Coach Calipari can continue to recruit these kinds of players, he will be well worth the money UK through his way.

Beating UNC and UCONN back to back is a feat that nobody would have expected before the coaching shift and recruitment following of the off-season, but we are being spoiled yet again with how quickly UK has re-established its credentials in the college basketball world.

Fun to watch, even if from a distance.

Snow Driving

It always takes people a month or so to get back in the habit of driving in the snow.

This is one of my pet peeves. It isn't any different than last spring people....

At least, while avoiding the traffic the rest of the evening and staying home, the person I wanted to win the money on Biggest Loser did just that.

Go Danny.

Coffee Shop Roulette

I don't drink coffee, yet found myself at 3 different coffee shops within a 2 hour span today.

Guess that is what you are in for when that seems to be the most comfortable place for many people to set up a meeting with a pastor.

Good thing they offer lots of drinks that don't have any coffee in them. I'm starting to know what all the menus from all the different chains have.

And my work bag consistently smells like coffee shop now.

I like the smell of coffee, but the lingering smell of coffee shop, not so much.

Meaningless Football Games

All of my Fantasy Football games were meaningless today.  

While the Colts haven't mathematically locked up everything, there game today was also essentially meaningless, except for record setting purposes.

Lots of wins from games that were meaningless, lets hope they continue next week as the Fantasy Games become more meaningful....playoffs start next week.
