So once again I stayed up too late last night watching sports. I watched the snow cross and didn't go to bed until well after my bedtime. Then I woke up several times during the night because, well, I'm old.
I'll be doing the channel-flipping thing again tonight because there is Bruins hockey, downhill skiing, skeleton and curling.

- Seems that the mayor of Hudson, Ohio is a complete whack-job.
- Presenting this episodes Brilliant Criminal of the Month.
- Some people have too much free time.
