I was reading the December 19th issue of U.S. News and World Report...that's a long title for a magazine, don't you think? It should just be U.S News, or U.S./World News. Or maybe just NEWS. Anyway, they had an article on coffee, it basically said the good outweighs the bad but, as always, don't go crazy. I've never been a coffee drinker, just the occasionall cup when I'm on a date, just so she won't think I'm a total rube. So, I read this and now I'm thinking, damn, I should start drinking coffee! The power of print. I plan on having my first morning cup today.

I have to give a shoutout to my brother George.

He told me about a new (to me) route back to Ohio. I usually take route 80 but I'm burnt out on that blacktop, so I went back to going the Penn. turnpike and then that got old. My brother says, "Why don't you go the way I go, 78 to 81 to the turnpike" I tried it out and it's sweet! There's no NJ turnpike (crazy fast/busy) to deal with and no driving by Philly (crazy fast/busy too). Now that's advice I can use! Thanks George!!!!

When I got back to Hoboken on Sunday, I took this photo of my hood:

I like this photo,
it's like found art


She ain't new anymore! It's just salt but still, I like a clean car. Right now, I have a feeling she won't be clean until May. Such is life.

I just did a Google search for 'lint' and 'Jake E. Lee' -- time to go to bed!

That's it for me -- have a great day!

Best,

Bob
