Christmas Time is here again


O-U-T spells out.


Merry Christmas!

Whoa! What a week it has been. The temperatures here have reached single digits. There's a covering of snow and ice outside. I can't even begin to describe how much I detest this weather. I bought a bottle of Southern Comfort the other day from a liquor store near the new digs. I'd never been in there before, so I struck up a conversation with the women behind the counter. The older woman said that she was excited about the plunging temperatures because it "kills off all the germs". I must admit that my initial reaction was to stare at her as if she had just eaten a puppy. Instead, I said, "Yep, that's right!" I'm just so agreeable around the holidays.

Santa Claus showed up here last night. He brought George Dora's Talking House. This was an item that apparently Santa had some trouble getting this year. Santa had to expend a tremendous amount of Elf work since the Dora Talking House was very popular this year and couldn't be located by any conventional means. So now we have a new toy around the house that makes noises when I walk by it. The big difference with this particular toy, is that it says things to me in two different languages. I think one of them is Spanish. The only Spanish I know is, "Yo tengo mas mucho cervix esta allegra, Jesus" - which means, "You're pancakes are lovingly shaped like a donkey, William."

Having been moved-in with the in-laws now for over a month, we find ourselves still settling in. Sometimes minor differences have a major impact. Take for example the fact that all people can be divided into three groups: 1-Those that prefer CREAMY peanut butter 2-Those that prefer CHUNKY peanut butter 3- Those that are are allergic to peanut butter. I, myself, am a creamy-style guy. My father-in-law prefers the evil-chunky style. We may never get along.

Oh the humanity!
