Emmet Otter and Winter in the South

without comments

If you haven’t seen Emmet Otter’s Jugband Christmas, you just haven’t lived. A very sad tale in the “Gift of the Magi” vein, with songs, villans, and even a cameo by Kermit. What more can you ask for?

I remember watching this when I was a kid, and loving it. Last Christmas, I caught part of it on some TV channel; and yesterday, thanks to Napster, I downloaded the music. Love it.

Wintry weather blankets South. Some of you may laugh, especially those from areas more Northerly than Alabama, but it’s pretty damn cold here these days. My office didn’t open until noon to allow some time for ice to melt off the
roadways.

Snowdays? I’ll take ‘em!
