I said we had a little present for you guys, and boy do we. How about a little synth Christmas concert? Let’s start off with some classical sort of stuff. Here’s Ding Dong Merrily On High, The Holly and the Ivy and The Christmas Canon. Who knew a synth could sound so beautiful? Now that …

Thoughts Knocking Around In My Head
I have more random thoughts. I must be in a thoughtful mood since I’m here all alone. Maybe it keeps me from talking to myself if I write on the blog. Na, I’d probably talk to myself anyway, and hey, if I’m talking, I could be talking to the Trixter. What I did find myself …
Another One Becomes Buried In Christmas Cards
Cards tag? What do you think? We can add the family of Nathan Elfrink to the pile of people who will forever regret the decision to ask for a few cards. Someone decided that they really meant a million. Now Nathan Elfrink is no longer with us, and the cards keep coming. They’re now asking …

We Wish Them A Card-Free Christmas
Here we go again. Am I going to have to make a tag for these folks? We have another little boy who someone has decided needs cards, and cards, and cards, and cards… Meet Jacob Hadcock. He has cancer, but he is by no means dying. In fact his parents don’t want anymore cards. The …
He’s Not Happy It Was A Silent Night…
I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I agree with a church on something, for the most part. A church in New Zealand put up a billboard showing a sad Mary and Joseph lying in bed with the words “Poor Joseph. God is a hard act to follow.” I had to chuckle. I know I …

Well, today’s the day. In a few hours I’ll be heading out for 10 days of birthday/holiday season insanity disguised as a Christmas vacation. By the way, if you need something else to read,here’s an old post I wrote about why I hate the term Christmas vacation and the troubling concept of frozen SpaghettiOs. But …
You’re A Drunk One, Mr. Grinchlet
While this story makes me very sad because of its circumstances, the image of a 4-year-old boy in a brown dress drinking a beer and stealing Christmas presents from neighbours can’t help make me cackle and howl. The poor little guy is messed up something fierce. His dad’s in jail, his mom is getting a …
Ho Ho Hold Back On The Booze There, Buddy.
It would be pretty weird to find a drunken Santa in your backyard. Thomas Arnold was looking for his reindeer on his way home from a party. He found a yard, some little girls, and eventually, a police cruiser.
I’m Running Out Of Names For These Thought Posts
Here comes another thought splatter. Enjoy. Silly Trixie has a new morning habit. She usually sleeps out in her bed in the living room. I have no idea why. But at some point in the night, she gets up and comes to the bed by me. But she used to just come in and lay …

O Christmas…Cone?
First we had Mr. Safety’s bowling alley, now we have Mr. Safety’s Christmas tree. This sounds depressing and kinda creepy. Because they were afraid that a real Christmas tree might blow over and fall on someone, or poke someone with needles, or have its decorations stolen, or all manner of other stupidity, they decided to …
