I'd forgotten about the All Star game. That was when the mosque came under scrutiny and yes scuba divers were used along the river. Of course the moozies got their panties all bunched up about it.
FWIW Wife and I took down ALL of the Christmas decorations yesterday. We want to get back to remodeling.
Then again tomorrow kicks of Carnival leading up to Mardi Gras. That's always a big deal in our house because I like Cajun food so much. We'll have to do a "bit" of decorating.
There's so much to do this time of year...most just to help get through the Bad of the Year. Burns night (weekend this year because it's the 250th aniversary) on January 25th. I wear a kilt, oldest son plays the bagpipes and we have a Haggis - sorta - dinner.
And let's not forget Up Helly Aa... the fire festival in Lerwick Scotland - Shetland the last Tuesday of the month. Dress up like Vikings, burn stuff (in Lerwick they drag a Viking boat through the town then burn it in the harbor)and of course there's lots of drinking, carousing and charity work.
Soon afterward we get into Lent and all the local church fish frys.
As bad as the weather is this time of year, I'm beginning to really look forward to it.

Wow...you have a great winter mood...no seasonal depression for you!!! All sounds fun and good...right up to the haggis part ( :p ). I don’t have such a rosy outlet on SW Pa winters (I just play the lottery to see if I can move to a warm spot).
Have a good day...
