For those of you who are living under rocks, 'Slingin' Sammy Baugh, the last surviving member of the NFL Hall of Fame's innaugural class and the only Redskin whose number has been retired, passed away yesterday at the tender young age of 94. Rather than try to wax poetic about a life so great, I'll leave that to the professionals. Matt Terl, the Redskins official blogger put together a nice piece http://theredskinsblog.com/2008/12/17/sammy-baugh-1914-2008/ and ESPN put together a well written eulogy as well http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3776838&CMP=OTC-DT9705204233.
If for nothing else, let's hope the Skins win this weekend in his memory. Rest in peace.
EDITED: to add another link to more information from the Skins: http://theredskinsblog.com/2008/12/18/thursday-december-18-more-on-sammy-baugh/

Hannukah Lights
Yep, that's right. In addition to our two Hannukah bushes (Ficas trees with lights on them), we now have Hannukah lights decorating our house. What are Hannukah lights you ask? Well, the technical definition is long and complex, so to simplify for everyone out there, Hannukah lights are "blue and white Christmas lights." Except, they're for Jews. It's pretty awesome.
