Well, it’s all over. The turkey is demolished and the wrapping paper is in shreds. All in all it went pretty well. On Christmas Eve, my grandparents aunts uncles cousin parents sister and bro in law all came over for Christmas dinner. I cooked my 26lb turkey and it was really yummy if I [...]

Jessica and I are recovering from a bout of the SARS/Bird Flu/West Nile Virus and haven’t felt up to doing much. We’re fairly sure that one of her friends was the original carrier of the crud and infected the both of us. I can only hope that I didn’t pass it on to anyone [...]
Our Christmas Photo The weather over the next few days is the last of my worries. What worries me is my need to get around when the roads are full other people. The forecast calls for 6-20 inches of additional snow and we’ve still not seen a snowplow head down our street. The traffic has made a [...] I don’t know how they did it – but – on the 14th somebody injected some malicious code into a footer.php file and filled it full of links to garbage sites that were shilling drugs on the down low. Google shot me an email (thanks) threatening me with being de-listed by the search engine [...] It’s still snowing and it looks like it is going to continue for a few hours. Jessica had a snow day – I wasn’t so lucky. I grew up in the Midwest and learned to drive on sheets of ice. Washington residents, on the other hand, forget how to drive when the sun is hidden by clouds. I thought it was bad when traffic slowed to crawl when it rained – something it does quite frequently. What amazes me is [...] So John and I saw this today and laughed the whole time! This is an amazing video and even though john and I loved it it’s sad to think that nothing like this would be seen on prime time TV today. But here it is for you to watch and enjoy. Life often imitates art – my has been imitating the movie Christmas Vacation. For the past few days I’ve been calling Jessica Ellen while she has been calling me Clark a few times as we’ve transformed our abode into highly decorated Christmas themed wonderland. The fun started Saturday with the lights on the house. Armed with a staple gun, some gumption, and a ladder I started on my task. We only had a few sets of lights and planned on installing twinkling icicle lights around the perimeter of the roof. I had three strands installed when I had an epiphany. I needed to check the lights.  Most of the lights didn’t twinkle and the rest of them didn’t work. To add insult to injury the remainder of the lights that were bought at a different location weren’t compatible without modification because they had a spade plug and wouldn’t plug into the lights that were already on the house. An edict was given to me to swap the lights on the house for the other set. I did as I was told. We surveyed the house after the lights were installed and neither of us were happy outcome. The lights came down and were returned to Wal-Mart. I picked up some standard lights and headed back home to try and finish my job. As I was hanging lights I looked across the street and saw two neighbors climbing across their roofs trying to defy death as they too hung Christmas lights – there are few nice days during December and everybody was trying to take advantage of the decent weather. |
