It's the Nativity. I'm wearing my black Metallica sweatshirt and black pants.

Given all of that, this song sort of suggested itself.

I watched a few episodes of "Too Cute!" on Animal Planet this morning.

For anyone who's never seen it, it's a show that chronicles the first few weeks of the lives of litters of puppies and kittens. Anyway, one of the litters they had today was Chinook puppies, one of which was named Nanook...which reminded me of Nanook of the North...which reminded me of this little ditty. Take it away, Frank!

Just in case I'm not able to get on here tomorrow due to the weather...

I just want to take this opportunity to wish a grand and glorious Festivus tomorrow to one and all!

Buster Poindexter --Zat You, Santa Claus?

My favorite version of this song.

I was really hoping for good local weather for Festivus.

Alas, not to be. Perhaps that will be my first grievance.
