Greetings, fellow Kings fans!

Early reports are we'll see even more of the kids as both Martin and Artest are listed as "questionable" for tonight's game.

I won't go into further comment about the "questionable" status of Artest, but I'm sure those who read my stuff on a regular basis can fill in the blanks. ;)

Clouds here in the forest, and enough chill in the air for a fire in the woodstove. No sprouts on the oak tree, so winter is far from over.

The purple slippers are ready, the coffee is already brewed and I'm thinking of a total menu change for dinner to tilt the karma back in the right direction. There's a place in this general area - Forty-Niner Pizza - that has fantastic vegetable pizza with a terrific garlic sauce and they have them available at the local video store. I think the Garden Pizza may be on the menu for tonight.

Think good thoughts and GO KINGS!!!
