So Far

Busy checking year end lists/charts from: Dusted, Boomkat, Root Blog, Wire, OM, AQ, VT, and other blogs. Didn't think I'd fall for it this year, but did.

***remember to check out the two latest Oh Sees records on In The Red.

Brief interest in grabbing all the SYR records - the 9th installment is due out in February.

Just learned about new NFL overtime rules for the playoffs. Sounds like a good adjustment.

The sun seems to be - I should say 'light' - seems to be lasting longer in the evening - about 5:30pm. "Sunrise", however, is stuck at 8:20am. Been cloudy as hell for nearly 2 months straight ~ no joke.

Saw the piliated woodpecker twice this week, once being on new year's day. gotta mean good things, right?

Gotta get with Rick about *the big idea*
