Have yourself a merry little Christmas.

You knew it was coming. In fact, I know you’ve probably been anxiously awaiting it.

Without further ado, I present to you: “O Holy Night.”

Have a good weekend.

Whenever I’m about to do something, I think, “Would an idiot do that?” And if they would, I do not do that thing.

See it here. The movie arrives in May.

Here’s your chance to post a comment about any topic that’s on your mind. Have a good weekend.

On Sept. 10, I started running. I’ve tried running several times over the years on a sporadic basis, but never was able to stick with it for longer than a few weeks at most.

I had been planning to start exercising more regularly, and then I came across Joe Thorn’s blog on running — Learning to Run. Joe’s experience inspired me, so I decided to give running another shot.

I’m not the student of running Joe that is, and I haven’t run as frequently as I should have. But still, my progress has been pretty steady. My first day I ran 1.35 miles. Today, 80 days later, I topped the five-mile mark for the first time, running 5.3 miles in 49:55.

I’m not sure what my running goals are for the future. I don’t have any aspirations of running a marathon or anything like that. For now, I’d like to run three days a week, and would like to get 12-15 miles per week.

I can’t say that I love running, but I do like what I’ve been able to accomplish, and I love the way that it makes me feel physically. The upcoming winter months may pose a challenge, and I hope I’ll be able to keep running consistently in the cold. At least I don’t have to run in Chicago like Joe does. We’ll see how it goes.

Gordon Cloud writes about the humiliating search to which he was subjected on a recent trip to Washington D.C.

Jrazz and his brother have entered a contest with Aquafresh. The two of them made a commercial, and the total number of views help determine the winner. So give it a look, and don’t watch any of the related videos, because it will be helping his competition.

So much for seeing an Oregon-LSU national championship game. This has been one crazy year in college football.

Have a good weekend.

Have a good weekend.

Huge game between the Patriots and Colts on Sunday. Should be interesting.

Have a good weekend.

Talk about whatever floats your boat. So much for the Rockies’ postseason dominance, huh?

Pet peeve: You’re going into a restaurant or some other place of business. People are also exiting said restaurant or place of business. Only, they’re not coming out the door on their right. They’re coming out the door on your right. And so you stand there waiting to enter, because they refuse to use the second door.

There are two doors for a reason. I don’t know why people are so afraid to use them both.
