Recently, I picked up “Deadwood: The Complete Series” on Blu-ray. It’s a fantastic show that died way too soon. Anyone that has seen “Deadwood” knows it’s pretty famous (or infamous) for it’s usage and style of language, both regular and profane. Personally, that’s one of the things I love about the show … that very profane and emotive dialogue. So weighty and fun.

This past week I have been dealing with being ill. I started felling bad Monday night and was in full on fever mode by the end of the day on Tuesday. Fortunately, the fever passed in about 24 hours and now I just have a pesky cough and nuclear green snot running out of my nose.

So, how do “Deadwood: The Complete Series” and “Sick with Fever” go together? I’ll tell you how.

Tuesday night, I was laying in bed trying the get some rest but that damn fever wouldn’t quite let me drift off. I was in that state of being on the verge of sleep and a crazy thought came to me. How cool would it be to spend a week (at the very least) talking and emoting in everyday interactions like the characters on “Deadwood?” Complete with language, of course. It could make for fun and interesting situations. Like when the cashier at McDonald’s pisses you off or your annoyed by the long line at the Post Office. Also fun would be business related discussions with the boss or talks with friends on just about any subject.

At the very least, I think “hooplehead” is going to make it into my everyday conversation … followed quickly by “cocksucker.” Yeah!

I made eggnog again this year! In a couple of weeks (after it ages just right), I will be able to taste that fattening, alcoholic, topped-with-fresh-grated nutmeg goodness.

But, I gotta say, people who just buy pre-made eggnog (and add rum or whiskey) annoy me. Mom’s Holiday Eggnog recipe is easy to make and tastes so much better than that store bought crap.

Viva La Fresh Holiday Eggnog!

This blog is officially NINE years old!!!

Well … it’s actually it’s over nine years old, having turned nine on November 21st.

I do realize I have been abusing this blog over the last year. But there has been a lot of being busy and a lot of being stressed out to the point of anxiety attacks. Fun times!

So, we’ll see if I can bang out another nine years here.

Thanks to those of you who are still reading!
