I don't have to attend work until January 4. So, I am going to have nothing but fun the next 11 days. And that includes two Browns games. Gee, 60 years ago today the Browns won their first NFL title.

This version of "Mr. Heatmiser" has become my favorite Christmas song in recent years. It's sort of traditional, it's got a good beat, and allows for singing along. And kids of all ages like it. "I'm Mister Green Christmas. I'm Mister Sun. I'm Mister Heat Blister. I'm Mister Hundred-and-One. They call me Heatmiser. Whatever I touch. Starts to melt in my clutch. I'm too much!"
