Not too far. They just got beat by the Texans 19-13. I feel bad for you. Well, not too bad. They made it further than my Steelers.

My wife has a General Hospital obsession so we have an agreement to put up with each others obsesssions. Although I have to admit I catch myself watching GH whenever Diane Benson is on it. (Bo's girlfriend from Carnival of Thrills) Anytime I see anything that has anything to do with the Dukes I get excited. Yep, that's the definition of obsession.

I'm already starting to make progress in curing my post Christmas blues. I deleted the Christmas shows off the DVR (I have the best ones on VHS in case of emergencies) Also, my wife's starting to put stuff away and so far it hasn't bummed me out. I'm still celebrating though. Last night we were out and I was sure loving all the lights still out. Also, I'm listening to Christmas music (Elvis) as I type this. A friend of mine celebrates Russian Crhristmas so I asked to be invited over this weekend. He accepted but we were both joking since I wouldn't intrude on his family celebration. He knows how much I get the blues this time of year because he's a lot like me. Go ahead and say it......I'm so pathetic!!!

If folks laugh at that they'll have to laugh at me too. I'm a Pittsburgh fan in all sports but the NBA where I like the Timberwolves. I do try to follow other teams though, although not very closely. In fact, I have a favorite team in each division. I like all the teams from Atlanta because of Hazzard County being near there. I'm the type of person who can't watch any type of sporting event without rooting fo someone. Sometimes I have to find the silliest, most meaningless reason to pick a team but the game is just too boring without rooting. You and MM will be happy to hear that the Seahawks and Bulls are my favorite teams in their divisions!

Rosco listened to Jeff Gordon then turned to Boss "Ya know Boss I'll let you deal with this dipstick. I'm gonna do as you say and git on over to that ambulance and let that fake doctor and his cute little nurse make it look like my neck and back's really hurt." Rosco caught some movement out of the corner of his eye then pointed to the oncoming vehicle "Hey, Boss, that's Jeff McCabe and that hot GTO of his with that supercharged customized V-8. Is he one of the fellers you done deputized?" Boss smiled "You bet. And if you'd open your eyes a little wider you'd see a few more of them hidden between the trees because my original plan was to meet Mr Aussler out here and I thought we'd need some protection." Rosco chuckled "Khee Khee. And I gotta hand it to you Boss. You had those boys on the CB believing you have deputies in town. That sure fooled them. I bet they're running like crazy right about now. Come to find out, all yer deputies are out here." With that Rosco walked over to the ambulance. Boss turned around to Jeff Gordon. "Ya see here Mr Gordon. The thing you ain't getting is that everybody in Hazzard County lives in a house or on a farm where I hold their mortgage....and they's the ones that sits on juries. Now they might be big fans of yours but they're even bigger fans of having a roof over their heads....." Boss was interrupted by Hughie wanting him to come over. As Boss walked over to the ambulance Jeff noticed that the keys were left in the sheriff car. He had been working behind his back to try and untie the ropes and now, with nobody looking he was able to wiggle his shoulders and upper arms more to make better progress at gaining his freedom.

It must have something to do with identical twins. Hopefully someone else can take my thought a little further.

TWO MINUTES GO BY BEFORE BOSS RESPONDS. "I figured you big city lawyers would hire some of these no account local boys to help you with this scam of yours Mr Aussler. I also figured you big city lawyers are a pretty arrogant bunch of fellers and you think us country folks are stupid so I'm here to prove you wrong. Last night I made some phone calls and have officially deputized a few good men. Some of my deputies are with me and some are in town there. At this very moment my sheriff is on his police walkie talkie activating the deputies who are in town and they should be there any moment. Now just in case I'm wrong....which I know I'm not....those deputies in town will take care of it and expose your scam and probably end us arresting Bo Duke and some of your henchmen for fraud and the services of me and my sheriff will not be required. In the meantime I suggest we continue on with the business at hand. And if I was you I'd keep your nose out of the county's business. It's not your job to enforce the law in a county you've never even been to before yesterday. IT IS your job to suck every penny you can out of your clients and stick it in your own pocket. That's what lawyers do best. My job is to find justice in Hazzard County and I have a sheriff laying here in an ambulance who is suffering greatly from the afteraffects of his accident. His doctor, who is also here will testify that sometimes back and neck issues can show up days after the impact. I really think it would be in Mr Gordon's best interest if you would bring a blank check out here and settle this whole thing. Then, you can be merrily on your way out of my county." Rosco quickly responded "Uh, Boss I ain't in no ambulance." Boss fired back "You will be in a minute Rosco. Now git on over there and have Hughie and his fake doctor and nurse fix you up."

I always end up singing Christmas songs in my head, even late into January because I just can't accept that it's over.

You should set a goal of beating me in fantasy NASCAR this year. (I'm just kidding. Goals should be realistic or you'll just be disappointed. If it's NOT really achievable it's defined as an elusive dream not a realistic goal)

That makes me think of the Rambo knife made by Jimmie Lile the Arkansas knifemaker. It cost about 700 bucks after the movie came out but is now worth ten times that.

Boss's jaw drops. His cigar falls out of his mouth onto his lap causing him to panic and throw it out the window before it damages his white pants. He turns to look at Rosco who is already looking at Boss. Boss "Did I just hear what I thought I just heard?" Rosco "Um, I think so. I'm not exactly sure what it was though." Boss thought for a moment. "I have to admit Rosco. I can't tell if Bo was serious or not. It could be a scam. He's a fairly decent actor you know. It was just last year that he pulled that Ebeneezer Scrooge scam on me with the ghost of Christmas. Woulda probably pulled it off if it weren't for Cooter interrupting." Rosco "I don't know nothing about no acting Boss but I gotta tell you, that sounded like the real thing. I think something's done went and gone haywire with Bo. He's done blown a gasket upstairs or something." Boss "Well, I just ain't believing it! I just ain't believing it! Bo Duke might be a lot of things but he ain't no killer! Just keep your mouth shut and let me run this show!" Boss took two deep breaths and keyed the microphone up "This is police commissioner Jefferson Davis Hogg calling Mr Aussler. Do you copy?" Rosco was irrited at his boss. "You just can't ignore something like that. You can't just pretend it didn't happen!" Boss snapped back "I'll do whatever I want Rosco. Now keep your mouth shut or I'll ignore signing your next paycheck....and the one after that."

Today is your 8 month anniversary. Tell those people teasing you they'll have to wait a month.

Does anybody else here get the post Christmas blues? I know I do. I just have a hard time accepting it when it's all over. I pretty much go the whole month of January missing Christmas.

And this problem ain't gonna repeat itself this year.

Happy birthday Boss (Jan 4) We'll all meet at the Boar's Nest to celebrate on Friday.....as long as you're providing free buttermilks.

Well Garrett, it looks like we're the only two brave enough to enter this contest. Come on folks, the starting gun's already gone off. You're behind but there's still time to enter.

That's not just your opinion Garrett. It's a fact. You're right this Johnny Cash song is awesome. When I met Rosco awhile ago I told him how much my grandson loved his song about Flash. That put a smile on the old sheriff's face. Khee Khee

I'm positive BL has Sonny's right. I'm pretty sure BL has Denver's right. The other three look good too so I'll agree with BL once more.

Hey!!!!! dukefan is home! It's awesome to have you back. I was wondering how you were doing. I've been a little worried about you and now I can stop worrying! Congratulations on your marriage! I look forward to hearing more from you. YEEEHHHAWWWW!!!

Boss is ready to push in the microphone just after Rosco turned the CB on when he heard Enos's request. He was furious. "Listen here Enos, you get off this channel right now! I have an important call to make and the last thing I need is a dipstick like you throwing a monkey wrench into my plans. Now get on out there and write out some parking tickets or something and leave me alone. If you don't do as you're told you're going to be the pooper scooper down at the Hazzard County Humane Society. Now git on out of there and away from the CB. Do you copy that?" Boss put down the CB and pounded the dashboard. He went to pound it again and knocked his hat off when he lifted his fist up. A nervous Rosco, sitting in the drivers seat put it back on for him.

What a talented actor! That's one of the many reasons Dukes was so successful. Veterans like Boss, Jesse and Rosco were mentors for the newcomers. You couldn't ask for better mentors than those three!

Yep, that's fine. The list isn't final until Saturday morning. 49ers over Broncos it is.
