This whole story started with Christmas cheer and ended by sapping my will to live. Some students at Battlefield High School felt like spreading some Christmas cheer. So they called themselves the Christmas sweater club. They put on crazy Christmas sweaters, sang carols and tossed a few candy canes at some other students. But suddenly …

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 …

The Physics of Santa Claus
Because I’m crazy, I’m still up. I thought of an old thing that used to go around in emails explaining why the laws of physics show that Santa is impossible. I thought it might give someone a chuckle, along with the rebuttals.
>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, …
Steve, Feeling Any Older?
Well, it’s Steve’s birthday again. For a couple of months, he can’t call me old. He still will, and technically he’d be right, but for a couple of months, we’re the same age. I’ve got his birthday and Christmas presents sitting beside me here, and I heard him bundling my Christmas presents into gift bags, …
The Christmas Can-Can
Here’s a song we can all relate to. I love it. It’s not the Christmas Cannon, it’s the Christmas Can-Can! This would probably sound awesome in headphones. Thanks Martin for this one.
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 …

You’re A Foul One, Mister Skunk
That has gotta suck. Folks at McClain County’s Operation Christmas were all happy with themselves. Happy happy happy. They went to pick up the toys to be delivered to lots of girls and boys, when they discovered that something else had been living with the toys. A skunk! And it had sprayed all the toys. …
