Mom would try to let Dad get a couple of hours of sleep before the long drive from Ohio to the Cape. We would normally leave late and drive through the night and get to the Cape around noonish. We tried to stop once and that was a disaster as no one sleep and it was a waste of money. Even into my years of driving, we have done the same. Only now that it is just my wife and I we do try to find a place to stop over night to and from. Personally I would rather get there and have more time for the Cape. But I am learning to take things a little easier now that the kids are not along for the ride. The only night with more anticipation was Christmas Eve, we couldn’t sleep, we didn’t want to sleep, we just wanted to go. We wanted to get to the beach. This year is a little different, with us changing to a September visit, I almost feel a little anxiety.

Emily Jade O'Keeffe hurt in skiing accident
WHAT was to be a romantic skiing trip to Canada over the festive season for radio gal Emily Jade O'Keeffe and her hubby-to-be Gerard Murtagh turned into a medical emergency for the Nova personality. The pair was two days into a 10-day skiing "vacation" when Emily tore the anterior cruciate ligament in her left leg and her cries for help bellowed around the slopes of Whistler. "I was on a blue run and the ski lodged itself in a mogul and my body kept moving and twisting," Emily told Qconfidential yesterday. Stuck in the snow, Emily was ferried down the mountain on a sled, transferred to an ambulance and taken to hospital where she was told she would require a knee reconstruction and nine months of rehabilitation before she would fully overcome the injury.

The bronze sorcerer
In Jean-Paul Sartre's novel Nausea (1938), the hero Roquentin is working in a small French provincial town when he comes across the pollution-stained bronze statue of a local school inspector, who had died in 1902. Roquentin, a historical researcher, is both mesmerised and appalled by this effigy, which has become "guardian" of the local people: "This square may have been a cheerful place about 1800, with its pink bricks and its houses. Now there is something dry and evil about it, a delicate touch of horror. This is due to that fellow up there on his pedestal. When they cast that scholar in bronze, they turned him into a sorcerer . . . He has no eyes, scarcely any nose, a beard eaten away by that strange leprosy which sometimes descends, like an epidemic, on all the statues of a particular district." .
Ponderings from PapaBear
I see that there are already many great blogs posted on last nights BCS Title Game and another recap is not needed. However, I have a few final thoughts on this game and the Buckeye season. First, congratulations to Les Miles and his LSU Tigers. They were the dominate team on both sides of the ball for the final three quarters of this game and are deserving Champions. For the past month I was slowly able to convince myself that the Buckeyes had a shot at a victory in this game. In order for them to pull off the upset they would of had to play the perfect game. Their overall team effort was certainly better than the one the they put forth in last years game against Flordia, but perfect they were not. Turnovers and really stupid penalties kept this game from being close and the final result was much the same as last year...A sizeable loss.

He used to work with Stein through Prudential Douglas Elliman, but they fell out over a sale. Meanwhile, Newsday says police took DNA and clothing fibers from the nine workers who had painted the 16th-floor terrace red. Despite all that, the NYPD has named no suspects, and hasn't yet made any arrests. .
