it's the end of the world as we know it ...

the chiefs are in the playoffs? the chiefs are in the playoffs! i had given up the team for dead at least three weeks ago. now, they're just an LJ train away from a showdown with the chargers to get to the afc championship!

happy new year! how were your holidays?

ours were busy, as usual. i can't complain though. we've got three families to hit, and three sets of presents to get! that's what i say. thanksgiving and three turkey meals is much worse.

for christmas, i got a vintage popcorn maker, at least 4 new snazzy shirt-tie combos, and a couch. love and marriage, love and marriage.

chompers, on the other hand, made out the best of the mcdoers. at last count, she received 3 pink stuffed animals (to make up for the death of pink bear), 2 rope toys, a squeeky train, a soccer ball, a meaty shoulder blade of a large, unidentified animal, and a red leather coach collar.

as far as new year's resolutions go, 2006 was a good year. i quit smoking for good. we got a new car, a new house and a new dog. we also went to boston, nantucket and new york city. this year, i want to spend less money. i also want to lose weight (at least 10 pounds, and i don't care how it comes off), go to more rock n' roll shows, and be a better husband and friend.

oh, and i'd like it if the chiefs won the super bowl!
