Friday January 8th

2010 is here and so is the winter! We got over 3" yesterday in this winter and year's first significant snow fall. Shoveling was quite a task last night, knew I should have bought that snow blower! This week's pictures are from Brooke and Rowan's visit to the mall. She's on the Bob the Builder ride, tweaking his nose!

Redskins got a new coach this week, at least for them. Even Brooke had heard of Mike Shanahan before. He's got two rings, and I know for a fact that he's better than Jim Zorn. So I'm all for it. It's just like the Redskins to make news in the off-season rather than the playoffs that kick off Saturday. Maybe next year. [Washington Post & NFL.com]

One of my most favorite Cubs off all time was voted into the Hall of Fame on Wednesday. Andre Dawson gets in on his ninth attempt, and that's a very good thing. Still not sure what cap he'll wear: Cubs or Expos. [Chicago Tribune & Baseball Reference]

This week's News Quiz. Got my usual 70%, with a few guesses that came through for me. [Chicago Tribune]

Got my Avatar review up on the main page last weekend. We really enjoyed it. Got an average of 9/10 from the five reviewers that went with us. The way Cameron filmed this was truly ground breaking. [SpydeysWebb & LA Times]

Lots of big movies coming out this summer during blockbuster season, beginning with Iron Man 2 on May 7th. Who's in? Many of these movies will be competing against each other on the same opening weekend. Which ones and how will each do? [IMDb.com & LA Times]

I'd love to have a mistake like this happen to me...you know, buy something you didn't mean to and boom, millions of dollars. [Atlanta Journal Constitution]

The Lipizzaner Stallions are putting on a show in Miami. I thought Brooke would like this article and picture. [Official Lipizzaner Site & Miami Herald]

Who's more popular, dogs or cats? [Chicago Tribune]

Try to stay warm this weekend, wherever you are. Minus zero wind chills up here in The Fort! [Journal Gazette]
