Hotel Illness

The illing of our household continues. Just when we were all back to work and/or school, poor Lily came down with a fever today at preschool and came home early with Deb. Doesn't appear to be anything serious, just a cold that hasn't quite gone away.

We got a surprise snowstorm last night that none of the weather forecasters predicted. It started around 9:30 and kept going for about three hours or so. Made for some slippery driving conditions as I was coming home from hockey last night, but ultimately we only got about two inches. Of course, we're supposed to get some more tomorrow night.

Hit me:

• When I was a young'un, the Garfield comic strip was a merchandizing bonanza and seemingly everywhere, which I found annoying because I thought it sucked ass. Which is why I found this version of the strip sans the fat cat hilarious.


• The fine music site Popdose presented a nice take on one of my favorite bands, The Pursuit of Happiness, who I thoroughly enjoyed during their 1988-1997 recording career.


• This footage of the mountain wingsuit is absolutely amazing.


• Jon Stewart is already exceedingly cool, but the fact that he played college soccer at William and Mary makes him even cooler in my book.
