There's a lot of TV tonight, it's multiple Tivo time. There's 24, the Bachelor, a new Closer (I've never seen the show but people seem to like it) and HD Net has the 1974 classic Chinatown with Jack Nicholson and Faye Dunaway.

What are you watching? Or, if you're checking news instead, what did we miss today?

It's frosty here but not snowy, yet. A good day to catch up on things for the coming week.

Here they are. J will almost certainly have more thoughts on them. I have no thoughts on them.
