Well, it’s about the middle of January and I still haven’t written my tradditional holiday epic. It’s a doozer, like always. First, updates about stuff I mentioned before. Mr. Postman never brought that last parcel. Oh well, if all works out, Steve can ask them to resend it and we’ll be able to give it …

I’m Home And I’m Alive…I Think
Well, I’ve made it home and I survived Christmas. And considering how things went for some of us, surviving Christmas is no small feat. How many of your Christmases involved 3 visits to emergency rooms for 2 different people in 2 different towns in 2 different counties? Not many? That’s what I thought. But mine …
I Fixed Blogger, And Some Other Random Things
Well, I think my hour plus worth of pain this morning might have been worth something. I seem to have unbroken Blogger, at least for now. So as long as I never need to work on a computer that isn’t mine, Carin’s or the one at my mom’s place, things should be just grand. I …

>A Little Of This, A Little Of That
>Well it’s December 21. I think it’s funny that on the first official day of winter, the weather is being decidedly more gentle than it has been earlier in December. But I’m not gonna complain. I want to get home to my family tomorrow, so Mother Nature can just keep that calm weather up. Hey …
Blogging By Email
I'm not sure when Google decided this would be a good idea, but I discovered a couple of weeks ago when I tried to post from a computer other than mine or Carin's that in order to sign into Blogger, I now had to solve a damn CAPTCHA after entering my username and password. This, …
A Friendly Word Or Two For The Nice Folks Down The Hall
Just when I was starting to feel a tinge of what you might call the Christmas spirit, here I am once again wanting to hit a few people with a hammer. Listen, anonimous pecker handles from down the hall. I don’t mind you having some friends over for drinks and fun. We’ll be doing that …

More Story Time
The other day, Steve made a comment under the story of the guy opening the wrong door on the plane that I thought needed its own post to properly explain it. I just hope I can convey how hilarious it is in written form. There’s a part of me that has its doubts. This whole …
It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas Posts
I’m sitting here and I can hardly believe it’s exactly two weeks before Christmas. How in hell did I get here and how did it happen so fast? I agree with Steve that it doesn’t seem possible that it’s already Christmas again. In fact, when I try and think of things I’ve gotten people, I …

Use The Exits *After* The Plane Has Landed
First, we need a themesong. Thank you Arrogant Worms. There really isn’t much to this story. a possibly suicidal man tried to open the exit door of a plane mid-flight. Luckily, he failed, and nobody was hurt. The plane diverted to Albuquerque, and he’s now having a big ol’ chat with the FBI. But it …

On Christmas
Around this time every year, I usually end up talking about how insane or how much of a pain in the ass Christmas time is. But no matter what I say about it, I’ve always got the holiday spirit. All the travelling, the ceaseless visiting, the not sleeping, the hosting get togethers that won’t end, …
