Hi.

Last night, for some reason, there were train whistles whistling all night long around here. This isn't a "city" kind of thing, mind you. It's like a you're-out-in-the-middle-of-nowhere-and-happen-to-have-train-tracks-located-nearby kind of a thing. It's a country thing, actually. I just LOVE hearing this sound out there on a crisp winter night. It's one of my favorite things. Can't say why.

I also like keeping the x-mas tree up until Valentine's Day, too. Laying down on the floor near the tree with just the dreamy light of a cracklin' fire going in the fireplace is also one of my favorite things. I got to do that for a while last night too. Very relaxing. It's a 7-foot tall, very full and real looking FAKE tree, BTW.

I feel very relaxed right now. Perhaps it's because I spewed all that anti-Bin Laden venom late yesterday? Boy, that felt good. I know, I know, it goes against my new COMPASSION FOR THE VILE edict. Not sure how to map that one in. Compassion for the VILE-est of the VILE is a trick I clearly haven't mastered yet.

I'm actually off from work today so I'm going to curl up next to my SIRIUS satellite radio receiver in a few minutes (the show starts at 5AM central time) and listen to the ENTIRE Howard Stern Show this morning. Being able to hear the show again is another one of my favorite things right now. Oh yes!

Have a great weekend, folks.
