I think all the Christmas commercials are finally finished. I've never understood why car companies play them into the ground through the beginning of January... we're already sick of them by November 1.  No it won't make me buy someone a car for Christmas. Geeze.

Heard that some girl bungee jumped and the chord broke. Someone explain to me why one jumps off a perfectly good bridge.

The sports world is in meltdown because Tim Tebow played a competent game and has moved his team along in the finals. Here's a tip for everyone who is having issues with this... stop listening to sports talk while this is going on. If you don't listen you don't have to hear Tim talk about his religion. I'm pretty sure the Patriots will take out Denver this coming weekend. We'll see.

Headline of the day:

Extinct Giant Tortoise May Still Be Alive in Galapagos

Ummm... so is it extinct or alive... it can't be both.  They need a new headline writer. Let me do the job an editor should have done:

Galapagos Giant Tortoise May Not Be Extinct

How's that?

Last of all, if you exercise, please pay attention to what your body is telling you.  Although they specifically pick on yoga this time, this could be any type of exercise.  Unless you are an Olympic athlete, it's not a contest... really it's not.  So stop trying to outdo everyone around you and pay attention.

****

Okay that's it for now.

1 I've bungee jumped several times before. What a rush. I definitely spoke at length with the riggers prior to each jump. I declined a jump once because I felt the one of the riggers wasn't the sharpest knife in the drawer.

Anyway, she got banged up pretty good, and it's a good thing she  was over water, and not dry land. She's lucky she didn't die, even over water. It was a high jump. Her legs were tied together around her ankles, which is normal, but she said the remaining cord was swept downstream and got tangled in some rocks. She had to swim to free it so she could untie herself. Amazing. Ever tried to swim, in a current, with your legs tied together? She's my kind of girl...able to think without feet. I'm just glad she didn't encounter any crocs.

2 Tortoise: Rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated.

3 Will not, would not, could not, bungee jump.  Sorry, the Seuss in me is showing...

Which means, in answer to your question: Yes.  The holidays are over, but the silliness has just begun.

4 Yabu - no matter what kind of rush, I could not bungee jump LOL.

Mr. Bingley - that is perfect!

Pam - I'm so with you.  Now all I need is some time to get all the silliness going.

5 I saw that yoga article, too.  It cracked me up how these people didn't think it was dangerous because it'a "healing".  Yeah, and so is aspirin, but overdosing on it will kill you just as quickly.

6 CTG when it comes to the crunchie granola types, critical thinking is not an option.  LOL.
