Christmas has come and gone, and my small football miracle has disappeared. Not because The Ravens won (although they did, making everything else moot), but because the Browns beat my Bengals.

BUT

Cincinnati finished with a winning record for the first time in God knows how long. Okay, actually, they finished even. No losing record. Good enough for me!

And in other, far more important news…

I’m engaged now!

Wheee! I am a happy, happy man.

But, I don’t know how much of my personal life I want to put on this site, so let’s just leave it at that.

Today, we are going to an endangered feline preserve north of LA… if the mudslides haven’t gotten there first.

More to come…
