Christmas Afternoon

.

Most of the excitement is over. Everybody who is interested in loot has got theirs. It doesn't matter whether you're naughty or nice any more. Santa is exhausted and needs a ride home.

We are visiting my family in Ridgewood, New Jersey, for a few days. The other divisions are driving distance, coming in from suburban Boston and central Pennsylvania. We have to fly. Something got my attention at New York's La Guardia airport while we were waiting for our bags. Those of us who watch Jon Stewart's The Daily Show will recognize it as one of those moments of zen. Stare at it long enough and it could drive you mad.   

If Mitch Can Do It...

Mitch Rossow of Minneapolis DPB often posts a "moment of zen" picture on Saturday. The reference is to Jon Stewart's The Daily Show on our Comedy Central network. It ends with a short video clip of some bizarre statement or behavior of a notable person, which Stewart calls your moment of zen (follow the link to the show's web site for examples). This is my homage to Mitch's blog version. There seems to be circular logic at work here. And, notice the luchador in the left background. Can't stop looking at him, either.

TOMORROW: Chicago
