DREAM SEASON

Check out this video immediately below this post from the 1990 UCONN Men's Basketball season "Dream Season" during the NCAA tournament where UCONN played Clemson in the Meadowlands Stadium in New Jersey. UCONN was ahead by 19 points and Clemson came back to lead by 1 point with one second to go.

I remember watching this game at home on my couch with my Dad and brother Scott. I couldn't believe that UCONN looked like they would lose after being up so much all game.

SNOWY START TO NEW YEAR


Snowy start to '09.
View from my enclosed porch of my white car covered in snow, snow on the white fence across the street and the pond beyond.

GOLLY,GOSH, GEE WHIZ

I have a nephew named Matt who was visiting me up on Cape Cod with his Mom and two sisters about 8 or 9 years ago. He was about 8 or 9 at that time.

I told Matt never to say golly, gosh, or gee whiz as these are very bad words to say especially if you say them together. Of course that made him speak those terrible words.

It was fun to listen to him say "Golly, Gosh, Gee Whiz" over and over again.

RABBIT, RABBIT

I was told once back in the early 1980's by a waitress who worked at a restaurant (The Captain's
Clambake Emporium) where I also worked that you should say "rabbit rabbit" as the first words you speak when waking up at the start of each new month for good luck.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

HAPPY NEW YEAR.

It has been said that the past is history,tomorrow a mystery, and today is a gift that's why it is called the present.

2008 was a memorable year with the summer Olympics, elections etc. But 2008 wasn't great. Let us hope 2009 will be fine.

There is an ancient Chinese curse which says " may you live in interesting times". 2008 was interesting.
