JSS: Christmas Lights, "I Love Lucy"-- Pigskins and Pucks

JSS-- Just Some Stuff. //// 1. CHRISTMAS LIGHTS-- With this crummy winter going on, I haven't been able to do anything as far as getting the Christmas lights down on the outside of the house. Way too cold, way too much snow to go through and quite a few strands completely buried. //// However, yesterday I was able to get most of the front stuff down and inside because of the "heat wave" with temps up to 35 degrees. Hope to get the deck and gazebo today as it is supposed to snow again tonight. Just something you have to deal with when living here. //// 2. "I LOVE LUCY"-- Up at 4 AM this morning and watched several great episodes on Hallmark Channel for this show from 1954-1955. This is when Ricky got his contract out in Los Angeles and they decided to drive out there with Ethel and Fred. //// The names of the episodes: Ricky's Contract, Getting Ready, Lucy Learns to Drive, California Here We Come, First Stop and Tennessee Bound. Great Road trippin' for you Roadies. Tomorrow, they make it to L.A. where Lucy found lots of trouble. 3. PIGSKINS AND PUCKS-- We spent this weekend watching the NFL playoffs and Blackhawks (and a fair amount of college b-ball and some Bulls). Saturday it was the college basketball games in Margaritaville, then to Twisted Moose in McHenry for the Blackhawks game and parts of the two NFL games. The Twisted Moose is where you want to go if you're a Hawks fan as almost everyone wears jerseys or team stuff and when the Hawks score or win, we get the flashing red lights, air horn and "Chelsea Dagger." //// Sunday, it was the last two playoff games at Main Street and Donovan's in Twin Lakes and Antonio's in Spring Grove. //// Pulling for the SeaHawks and Broncos Now. --RoadDog
