Well.
I've been staring at the MT screen for 15 minutes. Finally got a word out. Head cold.
Before I forget...thanks, Aelfheld, for the email! I hope you had a great Christmas. I was going to email back tonight, but AOL doesn't want to work. Thanks for the holiday greetings, and for all the comments over the past months. I always look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks, also, Natalie, for the link to the Grinch/Max letter. It didn't show up in my comments, but I can read it in Moveable Type, so I'll go retrieve it and bring it back here in a minute. Also, about the ass comment...you can look, but you can't touch. Hope everyone at Yates Central is doing well.
The Outposters had a great Christmas. We spent The Eve at my brother's house and had a very pleasant evening. I was quite impressed at my brother's efforts. He's the bachelor in the family. I wasn't expecting Grain Belt and Doritos, but it wouldn't have surprised me. I was surprised by the gormet cheeses, the excellent wine selection, the homemade soup, the martinis, and his overall hosting skills. Well done, Horton!
Today we went next door to my in-laws and gorged on ham. And then opened about a thousand presents. The Senator was in heaven. I think we're going to have to build another pole barn to store all the loot. Even the dogs are in a daze. Biscuits everywhere.
And speaking of dogs, I was planning to take Hoocher to the nursing home today. I really wanted to visit some of the residents who don't have family in town. But I didn't want to share my cold. And Hoocher isn't looking his best right now. Last Tuesday, one of the Alzheimer's patients and I colored the top of Hoocher's head with a blue pen and it still hasn't all come off yet.
So, here's hoping you all had a pleasant holiday. Cheers to those of you who get tomorrow off; my sympathies to those who don't.
I think I will go find my family now. I believe they went upstairs to watch "JEDI KNIGHTS!" as The Governor likes to scream.
Again, I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas!
