New Stuff For The New Year

Today is National Festival of Sleep Day. I was going to tell everybody about it earlier so that you could sleep in today but I overslept. Coming up Friday though is National Old Rock day. Old Rock Day is an opportunity to enjoy and appreciate old rocks and fossils. Perhaps you can start a rock collection. I have a pretty good collection myself that runs from Chuck Berry and Little Richard to Led Zeppelin. And as far as fossils, I have all of the Stones stuff and I figure Keith Richards can definitely qualify as a fossil.

Last week was Governor Bill Richardson of New Mexico last day in office and he decided not to pardon Billy the Kid for the murder of Sheriff William Brady 132 years ago. Billy had no comment.

The Discovery television network has canceled plans to air the autopsy on Michael Jackson's body. So far they haven’t been able to remove his hand from his crotch.

Mila Kunis and Macaulay Culkin have called it quits. I think she left him home alone.

Bret Farve says he is done with football. Let’s see, he said that in 2007, 08 and 09. I think maybe the real deal is that football is done with him….Take your ball and go home Bret.

Speaking of football, Sam Huff was an All-Pro linebacker for the Redskins and Giants in the 1950s and 1960s and one of football’s hardest hitters. Huff believes that helmet-to-helmet contact is an integral part of football and is upset that the league is trying to stop it. “It cccertainly never aaaffect……..what was I saying? Oh yeah, I think the Cowboys should win the Super…uh thing a ma..jig.….especially if Troy Aikman doesn’t get hurt,” He stuttered as he shuffled down the hall of the nursing home.


Airports toy with the idea of tossing the TSA.
This was the headline on MSNBC today. In the article, it stated that passengers would still have to go through the same security standards. I am assuming the passengers would have to pat down each other. This could be interesting.



Today’s good read is Worth Dying For by Lee Child. Jack Reacher is an ex-military cop traveling around the country who seems to always find people in trouble that need his help. This the 15th Jack Reacher novel and it may be his best yet.
