This makes me look forward to my Johnny Walker Red nightcap even more.

That popular uprising in Tunisia isn’t getting a lot of headlines, but for the Middle East it could be significant. Calls to mind what happened in Eastern Europe back in those heady days of 1989 and you get the picture. Be interesting to see what happens in the coming days.

This reminds me just how great it is to live in Arizona in the month of January.

That was a smart decision by the LPGA to limit the number of exemptions 15-year old phenom Lexi Thompson is getting this season. Look, if she’s as good as everyone says she is, she’ll have plenty of time to grow up and be a teenager and work on her game until she’s old enough to compete on the same level as her peers when she reaches their age. Another Michelle Wie-esque burnout we do not need.

This can’t happen soon enough, as far as I’m concerned.

That trip to the gas station has been getting more expensive with every week. If a Republican was in the White House, the airwaves would be filled with sob stories about how the “little people” are being hurt by those mean and nasty Republicans. But in the Obama era, you have look hard for bad economic news from from the mainstream dino-media.

This tells me why I was smart to never pay a whole lot of attention to astrology.

If you’re living in New England that’s a very cold and harsh moon casting its ghostly light upon the newfallen snow. But here in Glibert, it’s a happy moon glistening the palm trees as they stir in our first warm breeze of the new year. What a lovely night.
