Monday Musings - January 6, 2014

1. And it's off--2014 is one week old and already filled with storms and news.

2. The NFL needs to improve its product. Poor officiating and monopolistic marketing have led to a decline in the experience of the NFL. Frankly, it costs way too much to attend a game and the experience isn't all that good--especially with a minus 40 wind chill. 

3. Baseball season starts soon and then it will be Spring!

4. Fire in the fireplace, football on TV, is there a better way to spend a Sunday afternoon? Yup, on a warm beach somewhere!

5. Isn't it cool that the Russians and the Chinese had to ask the the US for help in Antarctica with the frozen in the ice ships? 

6. The cold weather is coming and I thought it was already here. 

7. Atheist churches? Seems that are having a problem deciding what they are going to be about. Read this story from CNN.

8. Bye-Bye Love Phil Everly of the Rock N Roll Everly Brothers died Friday at the age of 74.
