I was really looking forward to getting into the Christmas spirit this year, but it's darn near impossible when it's 84 degrees a week into Christmas.

Orlando. It was 84 according to the thermometer on my car, which, admittedly, is probably not 100% accurate. But it's been hot.

We've just been all over the place with temps the last couple of weeks--highs in the 40s and 50s for a couple of days, then a couple of days near 80. Next week, the forecast highs are S-75, M-54, T-73, W-57, T-53.

Where's that meteorology guy anyway?

I don't know why, but my old Philly phone number (I had this number in the late 80s/early 90s just popped into my head. I decided to google it to see if my girlfriend who shared the number with me still ahd it. The address associated with my number is 1613 W. Moyamensing Ave. When I had the number I was at 121 Catharine St. and then 810 S. 4th. I wonder if that guy still gets any of my calls?

In the early 1980's, I got my first individual phone number. Turns out it used to belong to Sam Lowry , who had a cup of coffee with the A's in 1942/43 and still owned a bar in Manayunk, appropriately named "Sam's dugout". I used to get calls for him fairly regularly.

I get calls for some guy named Lance Lewis who still gives out this number to creditors and people he's trying to buy stuff from. I think he's some kind of scam artist. I tried finding him on the internet and someone by his name used to run a law office across the street, so I assume it's him. He must be stopped, or at least forced to pick another number.

I have these stamps that I bought probably close to 2 years ago. They don't have an amount on them telling me the value of the stamp. How am I supposed to know if one of these stamps will be sufficient to send a letter?

Can someone please announce to the world, that grown women look like white trash, when they wear their pajama paints out in public. Especially at the mall or grocery store.

if you bought them 2 years ago, you're going to need to use two of them to send a letter

you could probably take them to the post office and ask...

So Neil Young was in town today and a friend of a friend was supposed to be helping film something about him but Jonathan Demme's camera got delayed in FedEx transit so my whole circle of friends was calling everyone they knew trying to find a Super 8. Not sure if they ever found one.

I was just watching the Miss New York show or something on VH1 for a few minutes with my wife. It's amazing how much she resembles Carl Weathers. I don't know why she watches this bull shit.

Do you even know Phight's wife? If he says Carl Weathers, we'll just have to believe him. :wink:
