Saturday, December 27th, 2008

One reason I love Mr. Harvey is because he reports what no other news outlet does. While Christmas shopping was down the weekend before Christmas, only Mr. Harvey reported that some of this may also be because of something completely unrelated to the economy – cooooold weather!

My Letter to Santa Clause

Wednesday, December 24th, 2008

Dear Santa,

I’ve been a good boy all year, and have only one request. All I want for Christmas is to see the Tennessee Titans in the Superbowl. Think you could deliver that?

Thanks in Advance,

The Glennster

P.S. It’s not that I’m not grateful that six Titans went to the Pro-Bowl, or that we beat the Pittsburgh Steelers, or that we have the best record in football (12-2), and won the division. I even hear that Rudolph and Blitzer are Titans fans. But let’s face it Santa. Nothing compares to making it to the Big Dance.
