If the barbie fashion plates were the interchangeable plastic squares that had head, torso and legs that you'd put a piece of paper over and take a pencil or crayon rubbing of, then my sisters had them. They held on to them and my daughter and niece both played with them. That's like 40 years worth of enjoyment.

After Sandy we had to bring in Tanker Trucks that supplied gas for all the telephone trucks and vans. I mean that's a freaking hurricane. Seems like a modicum of forethought by management could've addressed this. I can't blame techs, I know my former Linemen get micromanaged, can't gas those monster trucks without company…

That's awful planning. I work for a traditional utility, we got the company wide email to gas up and top off supplies Monday.

Someone is resting after 90 minutes of barking at deer half a mile away. Good job protecting us Daisy. Well deserved 8am nap on the couch

I'm a sucker for Radiolab and This American Life. Both free, which is the most I'll pay. Also like Fresh Air. Just listened to a retrospective of John La Carre that was really good.

That dog and I slept right through today's mini earthquake in NYC. No premonitions, Daisy is no Nostradamus. Did set off car alarms in my neighborhood.

Even the Bracelets of Submission/Victory?

Reminded me of the infamous Jimmy Carter adultery in my heart quote. Never do an interview with Playboy.

I wish your mother well.

Think she enjoyed today. Merry Christmas

That growing up we always watched Christmas Eve Mass from St Peter's. When that was over my Dad would put on the Reverend Ike from his church in Washington Hights. Feel like I'm getting visited by the ghost of Christmas past.

Attempting to decorate tree

Puzzle in kitchen. Fireplace going. Dog behaving. Listening to islanders game. Often wonder if we are the only people who listen to the islanders on line.

Fido and I on a winter solstice road trip. 210 miles NYC to Little Falls NY. My ancestors probably think I'm nuts traveling on the darkest night of the year. Should be home sacrificing someone in the Wickerman to ensure the sun comes back.

It's not feet but The USS Colorado has one of the best ship badges and mottos . If you're looking for the worst Google SSN 761. Feet would've been better for the Springfield.

Think it was called The Rainbow Diner. Still there, different name. Across from Saints and Sinners ( closed ) down block from Donovans. Wish Woodhaven would've gentrified b4 we sold my mother's house. Who'd of thought Bushwick would be the hot neighborhood. I go to Ridgewood a lot, Sophia's best friend lives just off the…

Afraid not. That area has really gentrified over past 20 years. Know it's cold now but is very nice place to walk around in spring and summer. That's when we take the 7 over.

Cannelle in LIC. Forget what street exactly, just follow the hipsters . French bakery. Very good. We go when we see shakespeare in gantry state park.

Obviously an intelligent young man with excellent taste.

I miss Dipper and Mabel. That was prime time father daughter TV viewing.

When someone takes up more than 1 parking spot at Loews. Rude

Chilly out , enjoying the dark skies here and seeing the stars

Leaving Christmas party. Glad I no longer drink on these nights.

I would've bumped his ELO rating 5 points for originality

Class B is an above average player. Should play in in person tournaments to get a reliable rating.. The on line ratings can be suspect, lots of cheating. Wishing him best of luck.

Hope you're feeling better. Make ample use of the bell.
