raining in the afternoon

and too cold to even stand out on the front porch very long....oh well, don't really need to go outside for anything.....some football on TV today I guess...might watch some later to take me on into the evening....will try to stay up and watch the ball drop I guess, but don't know if I will make it.....I did last year because I found some rock and roll show on one of the oddball channels, like VH1C or something.....might as well stay awake, since around here they let anybody shoot off skyrockets in their back yard or whatever, so there's lots of noise at midnight.....
