Monday we got the first real snow of the season. It’s been in the upper 40s to lower 60s all season and it’s been real irritating for someone that actually wants snow. I’m ready to move further north where winter means something. Here in St. Louis winter is mostly just cold and wet. Some times there’s snow, but rarely of any significant quantity.

This season was predicted to be one-half mild and the other half severe. I’m not sure we’ll get the “severe” part. Monday was nice start, but today there was rain and warmer temperatures and it was all gone by the time I got home from work.

I love white winters. The landscape becomes so peaceful, quiet, and still when it’s covered with snow. This time, though… brown. Brown, brown, brown.

Someone call up Bing Crosby and ask him to write a parody of his own song. Ask him to title it: “All I’m Getting is a brown Christmas”

Regular readers would be able to tell I didn’t make Tuesday’s publish date. You new readers won’t, though, and that’s the best part – everything’s still on time to you.

Since this is a backfill post, I don’t have anything in mind as a topic. Let’s see, let’s see…

Oh, I know! This just popped in: they don’t make movies like they used to.

Remember when a good movie took you on an adventure; movies like Ghostbusters, Harry and the Hendersons, Howard the Duck, Star Wars, The Muppets Take Manhattan, and Back to the Future? Before everything became shoot-’em-ups with amazing special effects and ‘splosions every 10 minutes and racy kissing scenes. Don’t get me wrong, I still love a good action movie, but where’s the adventure? Where’s the thinking man’s movie nowdays?

P.S.: I’ve not been keeping up with Hollywood so I probably don’t know what I’m talkin’ about, but “srsly”.
