I watched comedian Greg Behrendt on Comedy Central last night, and busted my ass laughing! He is so funny! Has anyone seen him live or watch the show? I loved his take on being an older music fan (Creepy Old Guy!) LOL!!!!

It was not much fun to drive on it last night (it took three times as long as normal) and we had a crazy speeding driver almost hit us after spinning out going 55 miles an hour on the snowy freeway. Since then we have had a cozy time staying warm inside ( Read more... )
