(I decided to dictate, rather than type, Dad's post today. Watch for the word "era" as you are reading. The software originally picked up this word as "error".... but did I really need to correct it, given the context? LOL! Enjoy Dad's post! -- Tracy)
Derf Here! From the cold Northeast. Temps are down in the teens now and the experts say they will continue this pattern over the next few days. Teens overnight but warming up to 20° - 30° during the day. May even hit 40° sometime during the daytime. Wow! Perhaps some snow next week. That is the prediction. Will it happen? Tune in next week.
Well, we have topped off our kerosene tank for the winter. Fill it in December and in the spring when there is no snow on the ground. Only used 76 gallons since last March. Price per gallon rounds up to $4.00. The monitor heater is quite efficient. Just the way we like it!
The Patriots had a good game Sunday when they gave the Texans their second loss of the year. Now we'll wait to see how they do against the 49ers this weekend. Congratulations to the Colts as they continue to keep our Indiana family happy. Hope the "Luck" continues.
While watching the local sportscast last night, I heard some startling news. It was later confirmed by ESPN and with an article in today's paper. I find it difficult to even admit the news. The face of the Boston Red Sox until traded last year, Kevin Youkilis (Yooouuk), is now a New York Yankee. The same Youk that we saw come through Portland is now a Yankee! Yuck!! They needed a player to take A-Rod's place until midseason. They have a great replacement. Well, he won't have to worry about getting beaned by Joba Chamberlain anymore. They will now be teammates. It will be an interesting opening game at Yankee Stadium when they face the Red Sox. Even more interesting when the New York team comes to Fenway Park. Well, I now have two Yankees to root for. Jeter and Youk! Still hope the Yankees stumble! Good luck, Youk!! Never should have been traded by Boston. The Bobby Valentine era is now over. Thanks!!
Just a reminder to all out there. Christmas is coming and you had better get all your plans taken care of prior to the day. I have all my duties taken care of. Actually, I do nothing, so my chore is easy to complete. Well done again, Derf! Even if I do say so myself.
I still can't believe it. Youk is a Yankee!
Until next time!
Toodle Pip!
Derf!

It's a bit hard to swallow that Youk will be wearing pin stripes!! I guess we have Valentine to thank for that!! UGH!
