I wasted a lot of time tonight. My excuse is, I got lost on the Internets, so it's not my fault.
And I've been thinking that President-elect Obama should always wear sunglasses because -- day-um! -- that man is hot in shades. Just lookin' at him, I never think he's anything to write home about in the looks department (give me Joe Biden for that any day -- mmmmm, silvery hair) but when Obama has the shades on, he looks both cool and hot.
Check out this one and this one from the cover of Ebony and this one from a stop in Bozeman.
Now that's what I'm talkin' about. 
Just another day in paradise.
Anyone watching "The Deadliest Catch" marathon? I'm getting all psyched up for the new season. I wish I were strong enough to do that because I'd love to make $50,000 for a couple of weeks' work. It says something about how few people can cope with that kind of work because they are always breaking in a new greenhorn on every boat. I don't have to feel guilty because the only crab I eat is Dungeness and they don't catch that in Alaska. (It's mainly caught commercially in Oregon, though we always caught it in Washington.)
I've seen some nice Dungeness in the stores in these parts for $3.99 a pound, so I think that might be our New Year's Eve supper. We have an invitation for dinner that night, but we're leaning toward staying home, at least to eat. We'll see.
I talked to my sister on the phone tonight for an hour and 20 minutes. Good thing I just got that new-to-me cell battery because I didn't have any problem with the phone going dead.
Speaking of phones, our landline rang this morning. When we don't recognize who's calling, we screen it. This time it was some guy who had dialed wrong (we get a lot of those) and thought he was leaving a message with his dentist's office, going on about his insurance and so on. I picked up as quickly as I could to tell him he'd gotten the wrong number because I wanted to make sure he really did end up talking to his dentist.
I'm always a little weirded out when we come home from work and find a doctor's office has mistakenly called our number and left messages for someone who doesn't live here. It's happened several times and I wonder just how many wrong numbers they call in a day.
