I made it home for Christmas and made it back here! I even made it back here on the day I was supposed to! Phew! This Christmas, that was no small feat. I headed out to my brother’s place on Christmas Morning, not sure if Uber was going to ding me with a surge price. …

I’m Home…For Now
I know we’re supposed to be done with Christmas music, but don’t even try telling me you’re not hitting play on Deck the Halls sung to the tune of War Pigs no matter what time of year it is. I’m back from part one of the Christmas vacation, and Carin should be walking in any …
Oh Tansenbaum
It seems that Tansy is enjoying her new home. I asked for some pictures so I could give them to her raisers, and here’s what I got. I would say she’s one happy dog, even though she looks a little sad in the picture up top. My mom commented that her dog bed looked huuuuge. …
I May Have Dodged A Snow-Covered Bullet!
Everybody, sing along! Having gridlock Christmas was almost my experience. The plan was to head out today and head for Mom and Dad’s place, about 300 miles away.

Christmas Carol Lyrics You Won’t Hear At The Mall
I saw this the other day and I wasn’t sure if I was going to post it. Then I was walking around the Christkindl Market and listening to carols, and my mind was converting them to these ones…so I decided it needed a spot. I guess this showed up on Jimmy Kimmel Live last year. …

Operation Shake The Baby
My sister went on a Black Friday shopping trip to the States this weekend. I don’t know why people do that, but some combination of her, my aunt and my mom have been doing it for at least a decade now and no one’s been killed, so whatever. I was talking to her for a …
All I Want For Christmas Is You…To Get Vaccinated…And Maybe Take A Couple Voice Lessons…
At this point This video is a relic from back in the days when the public, the politicians and the health officials still kind of acted like we might be in the middle of a health crisis instead of whatever out of mind out of sight thing it is we’re doing now, but if I …
