Day 70

My friend Sean and I started this game years ago when we were in LA. If you see someone who looks like a celebrity but clearly he isn't, you say "unconfirmed" so and so. For example, people say my boy Dave looks like Dylan McDermott so he would be un-confirmed Dylan McDermott." If you see an actual celebrity, it is "confirmed" so and so. I have gotten many unconfirmed calls about me in my time. As a kid, I was the spitting image of Fred Savage, the great Kevin Arnold from "The Wonder Years." When he was in "The Princess Bride," I actually had people ask me if that was me. I have heard weaker ones in my time too, such as Jay Leno - who I cannot stand and is so unfunny and unoriginal. I've heard Robert Downey jr a few times lately as well. The best one ever happened the other night. Now I think this is a major stretch, but Leah's aunt told me that I look a lot like Colin Farrell. I will take unconfirmed Colin Farrell any day! If we could trade bodies and faces, that would be ok by me. Something tells me that underneath his clothes he isn't a hairy, out of shape Jew.

As everyone knows, yesterday was Christmas Day. Out here in Arizona, now this is the way to spend Christmas. White Christmas? Who needs its. I'll take sunny and 75 everytime. So what did we do yesterday? Like all good Jewish people, we went to the movies and ate Chinese food for dinner. Since we plan on seeing several movies in the next week, we had to pick one that was going to play to everyone, Munich was being planned for another day, so we saw "The Family Stone." I was anticipating a chick flick and was hoping I could get a nap in. Late afternoon movies can usually put me to sleep. The nap never happened and I really enjoyed the movie. I give it a good solid B. Great cast. Dianne Keaton and Craig T. Nelson play parents of a large family including Dermot Mulroney, Luke Wilson (who was great in a character reminding us of a cross between Cousin Steve and Dave), and Rachel McAdams. Sarah Jessica Parker and Claire Danes siblings from another family. I put this down as a solid rental.

My father in law has a 62 inch Mitsubishi DLP TV in the family room. Say it with me everyone, it is the whup. Watching sports in HD on this TV is like being there. Anyone who thinks that HD is overrated or that the difference isn't that drastic is fooling themselves. Nobody watches more sports than I do, and the HD experience makes such a huge difference. The far away shots are amazing, but the close up shots are even better. Watching Sportscenter in HD you literally can see the makeup on the anchors faces. HD technology is where its at. Lock me up for one of these TV's and an HD box when we move into a house.

I know that it was two days ago, but I still have to mention it. The fact that the Browns lost 41-0 on our home field to our so-called rival The Steelers is a joke. Its not even a rivalry anymore. In a rivalry, both teams win games at points. We rarely beat them anymore. They toy with us. Bill Cowher is 19-4 in his career against us. Saturday was a large step backwards in our development. Gotta love year 7 of the 5 year plan and we still are playing like an expansion team. I still see pieces in place that I like for the future. In this league where it doesn't take much to be good, there is no reason that with the right drafting and a few free agent signings, this team shouldn't at least be able to compete at .500 next year.
