Oh Yeah CHRISTMAS!

All the best to you and yours.

Furnace still down, and as much as I fight it, my spirits are beginning to sink with it. Hard to be in the spirit of the season when your home feels like a meat locker. Still, I count myself as lucky to have my meat locker. The cold doesn't seem to be bothering Luvamoose, she does seem to be drinking more however. Maybe the cold...

I hope that today brings you much more warmth and light.
Our nearest White Castle is over 60 miles away in a place I never go - one of the high points of driving into NYC with my friends is stopping at the Castle on the way home at 1:00 am. There's always room!
All the kids I know are finally grown. Children are the very best part of Christmas. I miss that.
All the best...

I worked 14 hours, came home, ate some White Castles and discovered my furnace boost pump hadiezed. Like water on the floor siezed. Of course it's Sunday, and I am way too tired to deal with repair people or any number family members who have oftered advice.
grayb:
Well, at least you had White Castle! Do you have one near you or do you get the frozen ones at the store? Great. Now I'm gonna have to dig myself out and go get some
Good luck with the furnace. This is definitely not either the day or the time of year you want to be having to deal with that. Take care...

Very grouchy today, better not journal.
How do you tell a pro SG/Model from a rookie? The pros take the tags out of their underwear before they shoot.

I'll have to pay closer attention...
I hope you were able to enjoy some of the Geminid shower. We unexpectedly lucked out here. No aural accompaniment this year though.
Disco-era dance, huh? Have fun!

Anybody know where to go in Chicago for Disco-era clothes? For a brawny-sized man? I have a dance coming up and the local thrifts are getting me nowhere.
Taking the War Wagon in on Wednesday, cross your fingers that the transmission isn't a total loss and the bill won't cramp my gift giving.

Okay, the weather here is officially a cruel joke. Several days of freeze-dried mid-teens, followed by pouring rain and 33. This morning a soul crushing freezing mist.
It looks like I will miss the entire meteor shower.

I caught just a couple of off-peak meteors the other night. Single digits and hazy here last night. Bummer.
We're in a deep freeze here as well. I'm hoping tonight is clear - the Geminids are generally worthwhile viewing for a night or two before and after the peak.
Here's the link to the Natural History article about sound producing meteors. I already sent it to ferkixllL, the other person I know who would be interested.

It's a blustery day outside, Christopher Robin.
Seriously, I think the wind just knocked one of my cows down.

I wouldn't be surprised... I got blown off the porch by a gust last year and the wind here has been consistently stronger the past couple of days. The big Midwest storm came and went and it and it was really something!
I hope none of the goats blew away.
I love The (original) Prisoner. My TV is not hooked into cable (I'd spend all day watching Giada on The Food Network) but I do get certain shows on DVD. Based on what I've read and what I've been told by fellow fans of the original, this one didn't come close... Too bad, it could have been great.
BTW - the ending of the original series was quickly thrown together when it became apparent that the show was not going to continue. I wasn't thrilled with it. Much in the old programs is admittedly rather dated but they still retain many moments of sheer genius.
