Double-yoo. Tee. Eff. It is colder than a polar bear’s ears (this is a family blog) outside. I left my house this morning sans chapeau so that my hair didn’t get messed up, but unfortunately my ears immediately froze and part of my right one broke off when I accidentally brushed it with my seat belt. So the hat went on right quick. (As a result, my hair now looks like I coated it with Crisco and combed it with a whisk.)
It goes without saying that I’m stoked beyond comprehension, even though my wife is less than thrilled about the whole thing. My truck has a thermometer, and the temperature it reported as 9 degrees fahrenheit. Last night, it even snowed! I’m glad we took the truck up to Lancaster yesterday, because the roads were pretty frozen on the way home, and the four wheel drive came in handy ’cause I kept almost spinning out in third gear. Well, technically, we were in no danger of spinning out because of my superior automotive skeeeelz, but every time the rear of the truck shifted an inch to one side under acceleration, HW moaned a little and put her head between her knees. So I went with the 4WD to limit the chances she might blow chunks and ruin my upholstery.
Saturday we hosted dinner at our house for Sarah’s parents and brother, featuring large amounts of Pork Chops a la Hearnwife, along with a mediocre effort at mashed potatoes from yours truly, and some green beans and macaroni and cheese. SuZann and Charles brought bread, and we made a skillet cake for SuZann’s birthday, which we duly coated with butter and inhaled like a bong hit.
Tonight I’m heading to a Sixers game and hope to have my picture taken with Kyle Korver, as he is apparently hot. But FIRST:
Ychrome Alumni – Better Man.mp3 – This is the only one I really made significant changes to, because the left channel featured some horribly out of tune Tenor 1 that totally screwed the recording. I basically dumped the entire left channel to get rid of it because it was that painful. Solo – J. Rod Smith
Ychrome Alumni – Prayin’ For Daylight.mp3 – Solo by DA HEEEEARN
“Doin the only thing that gets me through the night since you’ve been gone.”
