SHIVER ME FECKIN' TIMBERS...

I'm writing this post at 3:17 am. Why do you ask? Because it's so friggin' cold that I have to do something to keep warm. It's 21 degrees outside, doesn't feel that much warmer inside, though I hear something akin to the sounds of heat trying to make its way through my radiators. Bottom line: It's cold. There's no other way around it. The whole country is being handicapped by the wicked arctic chill blowing in from our neighbors to the north and it seems that no one has been spared by its wrath. In Cleveland, Ohio (my former home), they are being hit by crazy snow along with the brutally cold temps; so I guess I should count my blessings that I don't have to deal with shoveling snow on top of this crap we're already dealing with. It doesn't make me feel any better though.

I took some time to stop by the bar earlier in the evening to catch the BINGO STUD and his Beer Bingo gig. It was our first night back with the Bingo gig since Monday Night Football ended and it attracted a decent crowd for a frigid night.




The patrons who were there seemed to be into the spirit of Beer Bingo, especially when winning free beer was involved. I eventually left because I wanted to get some more work done, but later found myself regretting it because, quite frankly, it was much more comfortable in the bar than in my apartment. Oh well.

I'm in the process of planning out the rest of the month's worth of activities and we have some cool things planned for the next few months. Stay tuned to see what's on tap. In the meantime, Pub Trivia makes a return this Wednesday with new topics, questions and prizes to spread around to everyone! We also have the NFL playoffs to focus on, especially with the local team, the NY Jets in the running for Super Bowl glory.

With that, I'm going to try and get some sleep and some warmth.

DOLLAR DRAFT MADNESS tonight with $1 Bud/Bud Light mugs, the Orange Bowl (Georgia Tech vs Iowa, 8pm) and the big matchup between USA/CANADA in the gold medal game of the World Junior Hockey Championships (8pm).

That's It. That's All I Got.
