Well, I’m getting ready to celebrate the passing of another year. I’m looking forward to spending the time with friends, loved ones and mysterious strangers…tee hee. Overall the year has been a good one for me, but I must say I’ll be glad to wave it good-bye. I look forward with much grateful anticipation to the blessings, adventures and fortunes that I know I will find in 2006.

Happy New Year all!

I am sending this from my brothers phone while we celebrate his birthday. Happy birthday bro I wish you all the happiness you can imagine. With much love.

What would you do with a million dollars? Well one ingenious young lad from England realized that he had a million pixels. Now pixels certainly aren’t the same thing as dollars… Or are they? He is selling his for $1 each.

Who would be foolish enough to buy such a thing? Take a look at Million Dollar Homepage. Where there is a will, there is a way. So you have to wonder, what is YOUR big idea?

I heard recently that a dog is typically the equivalent of a three-year-old child, in terms of their behavior, how they obey, what they are capable of understanding and what not. I find this fact fairly fascinating and to some extent I can see the reasoning behind the theory. But all I’m saying is, one of the researchers aught to stop by in the evening sometime and watch c-dawg as she transitions from three-year-old to a crotchety old man!

Hey, I usually appreciate warm weather much more than cold, but even I am a bit remiss when the temperature is in the 70’s over the holidays. I mean, come on…I’d be happy for a nice 40 or upper 30’s, nothing actually dipping into freezing, but at least cold enough for hot-toddys, blankies, warm fires, snuggly clothes and comfort food like stews, soups and chili.

If I wanted shorts, frozen cocktails and light fruit salads for Christmas I would have moved to Florida or sunny southern Cal.

Maybe it was all the good eatin yesterday or maybe it was just knowing that I didn’t have ANY solid plans for the day, but whatever the reason it sure was nice to just laze about and relax today. Tomorrow it’s back to the world of objectives and projects.

But I have to say, it’s hard to believe that another year has passed and another Christmas has come and gone.

Some of the best moments in life are the very simple ones; for instance, hand washing/drying dishes while laughing and chatting in a crowded kitchen after a wonderful meal prepared with much love. I can’t begin to count the number of times while experiencing that exact moment I felt tremendous joy and gratitude.

And just think, if I hadn’t been paying attention, I might have missed them.

Merry Christmas and Joy To The World.

Sometimes it is all about making ME laugh. Actually it is most of the time. I say things primarily because I think they are funny or they strike my tickle bone. Really, most of it is just for my amusement.

Like today for instance, I was at the grocery store buying about 8 pounds of peanut butter (don’t ask). Anyway, a nice conservative looking, well dressed woman happened to notice the large quantity and said to me, “That sure is a lot of peanut butter.” To which I immediately replied, “That’s how we get the horse to look like he’s talking.” Then I picked up my receipt, my peanut butter and walked out the door.

I don’t think she thought it was funny, but I thought it was a riot!!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!

I love working over the holiday. Wait, no, scratch that. I mean, I love being on the schedule over the holidays. It’s a great time to avoid all the hustle and bustle and just take a moment to straighten up my world and clean up or organize stuff that I’ve worked on over the year. The office is quiet and overall the work pace is fairly slow. It’s a nice change.
