End of week ramblings 12/26/08

Now that X-mess is over, it's time to look forward to another fun holiday:  Thursday!!  This year's theme is New Year's Eve.  It's a great holiday - another short work week, sneak in a ride, hit the liquor store, then up all night with the gang...  and their kids...  and maybe a trip to the ER - true story.

Remember when we...

And the time that...

Neither do I.  Not a clue.  But Shauna found the pix and for that I'm grateful.

Let's recap shall we..?

It was cold out this week.  What was it like out East you ask?

Probably the coolest place to hang out this past week would be in PDX or Seattle, where they enjoyed their first White Christmas EVER!!!!  How'd you like to commute via sled to the corner store to get smokes?  That's what folks in the Emerald City were able to do!  If they were caught looking for that last minute gift of fresh fish/flowers/tourists, visitors to Pike Market were met with this scene:

Just lookin' at that gives me the chillz...

Partied with the outlaws (that'd be Angie's parents) last weekend for Papa's birthday.  A big night of guitar hero, awesome wings, beer cheese dip, and the most fierce matches of ping pong EVER!!!  Those people don't mess around - ya gotta love 'em!

Well, that about wraps things up down here at the ranch.  Have fun with all the "some assembly required" and "batteries not included".  I guess you shoulda thought about the fact you're not an architect and Barbie's new dream house now comes with schematics.  And if you think you got a crappy gift, it's the thought that counts, buddy - and maybe that someone thinks you're crappy.

Cheers, -H
