Chilly here in Delray Beach this morning. It was 44 degrees when I went for a walk. However, it is a crystal clear blue sky and warming up nicely.
vimeo problem
I’m in Florida, using DSL and I can not load more than 60 seconds from vimeo. Anyone know what’s up?

So the superbowl is this Sunday? This has zero impact on my life at all.
I believe you are looking at this incorrectly. It presents many opportunites from theater tickets to restaurant reservations, cabs available, diminished internet traffic, classic old movies on TV, excuse to drink too much beer and eat nachos, etc., etc.
My dad and I just saved my bacon.

I’m too ADD right now to type the details, but I will say that it involved a Mac OS X Install Disc, NTFS, and the diskutil command.
Jimmy saved his own bacon with some very good analytical thinking and execution. Very impressive.
WatchTomorrow is Kate’s birthday. This is from many birthdays ago. Happy Birthday Kate!
Speech
Here is an example of what I love about the President. He is not an ideologue; he is a pragmatist:
“The question we ask today is not whether our government is too big or too small, but whether it works - whether it helps families find jobs at a decent wage, care they can afford, a retirement that is dignified. Where the answer is yes, we intend to move forward. Where the answer is no,...
I’m having a very good day. My spirit is renewed. Our President is a unique man. He is not a creature of the decades long partisan poison of Washington. As national politicians go, he is a relative newcomer. He is not a captive of the traditional interest groups. They mostly backed his primary Democratic adversary. He has the fervent support of the youth, the disenfranchised, the educated...
WatchSomething you may not know about Kate.
WatchThis is for Jimmy and Chris. I particularly like the play 1 minute into the video where Mack takes out 3 guys.
Sheriff
Sheriff was just here asking for a copy of my video. He was the same guy who chased me away. If he had not done so I could have made a good video and he would have better infornation.

Did tumblr change it’s look or is it something Julia did to my settings? Maybe I’ll ask her.
Julia's Fool Proof Sunburn Curing Technique
juliaheffernan:
1) Get sunburned
2) Take a warm shower to get the blood flowing in affected area. This speeds up the healing process. (Shower should be neither too hot nor too cold for discomfort)
3) Make a pot of tea. Put ice in the tea to cool it down. Soak tea in a paper towel and apply to sunburn. Repeat. The tannins in the tea will help draw out the heat of the burn and instantly...
10 degrees, gray, snow in the forecast. I need to focus on the positive; any ideas?
Packing
We are leaving south Florida this afternoon and returning to the frozen northeast. No one in their right mind would be happy about that on January14th.

The wedding was a HUGE success.
juliaheffernan:
What fun it was.
Party Thursday night at our house, maybe 30 people - hardcore party types. I pretty much forgot to eat. Golf Friday followed by rehersal dinner right on the intercoastal - all hardcores in attendance plus reinforcements. Double digit night somehow ending at Chris and Linda’s where I think I ate something late. Early golf, much needed nap, fabulous...

WatchFor all of you sick of winter.
So your team is down 31 to 7 at halftime in a major Bowl Game. You are the head coach and you have chosen to be in the pressbox instead of on the sideline. Wouldn’t you think it appropriate that you join your team and assistant coaches in the locker room at halftime to try to make adjustments in order to get back into the game? Joe Paterno didn’t. He stayed in the pressbox.

We just rang in the New Year with Dick Clark and the Jonas Brothers. Shocking.
