With Monday comes the contractors
Johnny is gonna be in and out of the Jersey City Desk offices this week as remodeling has begun on his home. So, for now, here's a delightful picture of the Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina:

Today is national coffee day
And here's to it! And keep it coming...
Your favorite brew? Johnny loves the peaberry. Glen Glenn (Our guess is you'd smoke a lot of cigarettes too if your parents named you Glen Glenn) with a side of rockabilly to go with breakfast this morning on 'One Cup of Coffee (And a Cigarette)'.

Late night open thread
It's the Saturday night scoreboard show!
Lehigh 34
New Hampshire 27
4 straight games featuring late-game heroics have the Mountain Hawks at 4-0 with Fordham looming.
Georgia 44
LSU 41
And with the LSU loss Alabama is guaranteed a place in the national title game. In September.
Alabama 25
Mississippi 0
Speaking of the Crimson Tide...
Northern Illinois 55
Purdue 24
MAC schools should not be beating Big Ten teams by 31 points.
West Virginia 30
Oklahoma St. 21
OSU were 19 point favorites on the road, just a ghastly loss. Many many couches were sacrificed in Morgantown tonight.
Iowa 23
Minnesota 7
A game we're told some people actually paid to see.
College of NJ 7
S. Virginia 2
If we had any write up or stats on this game it'd be our game of the week.
Indiana (PA) 20
California (PA) 7
This game would be hellish to get to with a GPS.
East Carolina 55
North Carolina 31
Anybody else think this score will be avenged come basketball season?
The Jersey City Desk Game of the Week®
Idaho 26
Temple 24
How in the hell does a team from Philadelphia get dragged to Moscow Idaho for a game? We've got a hunch Temple scheduled this game because Idaho has been bad for a while. Sssssssuckers.

Safety drills downtown this morning
Like first responding Boy Scouts, always trying to be prepared, emergency preparedness drills are taking place all over downtown this morning.
OK, you guys are proficient in air horns. Pretty sure everyone who slept with their windows open last night would say you all get your air horn merit badges. So now will somebody hand those out along with some juice boxes (JohnnyBrand® juice boxes - where the floaters are most likely real fruit) so we can all get back to sleep? That'd be great. Thanks.

You know Johnny, always filled with so many good ideas for the governor
Chris Christie was a prosecutor in another life long ago. He knows his way around a courtroom. He knows the inner workings a layman would not. Johnny thinks it is in the best interest of the Garden State that gay marriage stay the law of the land because 2013. But the governor, who is opposed to gay marriage as are a very vocal minority, need a way to look good.
So, in appealing Superior Court Judge Mary Jacobson's ruling, send forth your worst lawyer to represent the state. Give us Dan Fielding. Send forth Louis Tully.
You tried. Besides, if any of this bluster is trying to provide cover for a 2016 presidential run, you are so not getting the votes of the people in the primaries you're aiming for here. They're supporting a pale rider on a white horse should he promise them no more goobermint Obamacare, gay marriage and teachers unions.
Look, New Jersey is for gay marriage and it is simply not right to put someone's rights up for a vote of the general populace. There would be pockets in this land where women and minorities wouldn't be voting if you left these things up to a vote.
And send in Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer for the state.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with RUTH BROWN!
Crawl off mom, Ruth has her shit together. The chores are done and she's gonna go get her drink and dance on. It's Friday night, you better believe 'This Little Girl's Gone Rockin', kicking things off on the Music Series tonight.
Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with DAVID BOWIE!
David Bowie with 'TVC 15', a song that came about because a television swallowed Iggy Pop's girlfriend. Or something.
Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with EDDIE MONEY!
Driving back from Asheville gives one time to really listen to satellite radio (besides Johnny's own driving CD's) and hear who is playing what. The snarkily named 'The Joint' a reggae station was a bust but the blues channel sounded good heading through the rainy and foggy mountains of Tennessee. Anyway, the 70's channel played an old Eddie Money song that while not this one did remind Johnny of this one, a song long lost to history.
