Can you have too many

parties? I woulda said no, but we were close. Started out with a great dinner party/evening at Ted and Kari's, with the Olson/Labs clan, and all the kids/spouses on Weds evening. A beautiful, light, sparkly snow fell as we had a wonderful dinner/drinks/fun time. The next day, T&K, and Nate, Laura and Piper( who was EXTRA cute) came over for an extended Christmas Eve party, that lasted all day, into the night and until the next morning when the kids went to their spouse's parents, and Carol and I celebrated a laid back, but enjoyable Christmas day. Then, on Saturday, it was the annual Newmas Party (after Christmas, before New Years), at Paul and Kathy's. Another wonderful time had by all. By then it was Sunday, our 38th anniversary, and we were partied out. Just stayed home, and enjoyed finally seeing the sun again. A FANTASTIC Christmas, with family and friends, that went WAY too fast. I thought it was impossible to get more spoiled than last year, but it happened. Thanks, everybody, for making an old man's holiday as good as it gets...

Because I'm sorta stuck in an Anti-Bush rant.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D99NHb6B03s Can you imagine all those rapper stars with these things? Of course, they'd have to have theirs with 'da bling! Can't be standard, gawd no! And of course, Britney's gotta have one in her car. Paris with her pooch totin' one on the red carpet at some fete. The boys in 'da hood will have a field day on their daily drive bys. P Diddy will wear his on a chain around his neck. You suppose there will be special pockets made in jeans for these things? Trailer trash folks will have 'em camouflaged. Jeff Foxworthy will have to come up with some fresh Redneck stuff. Think George W. will get one, each for the twins? Don't forget Dickie boy for those spur of the moment huntin' trips. Of course Ma Babs will have hers with pearls. Think it will affect the Royals? I can imagine Charles and Camilia on their fox hunt...........ah yes, and Prince Philip, too, must include the...

You think the Repub brand is tarnished now?

Just wait 'til Bonehead leads us all over the cliff, to save his 2% buddies having to pay a little higher tax. The Pubs keep thinking the American public is stupid, and they can get away with their phony political crap. They keep forgetting we're not all a bunch of FOXNews sheep, who'll swallow whatever swill is shoveled to them. A once proud party, like a beast in it's death throes, striking out to harm whatever's close, threatening to shut the gov't down, (again), over the debt limit, which is just paying the bills they already ran up. Political hacks, pretending to be patriots. So sad...

Great 'bargains' at the local Sprouts store

where we picked up asparagus and baby back ribs. Carol and I went for the same stuff (serarately, today), cuz it is so good, AND a great price. Had it for dinner tonight. WOW. One of my fav dinners, as the ribs start out in the crock pot, then finish on the grill, with fresh asparagus. (and bread pudding for dessert) I LOVE this time of year...
