Recent conversation with Brenda (after hearing All I Want for Christmas... again):

Me: Mariah Carey beginning with "I don't want a lot for Christmas..." and then revealing she wants "you" is kind of a burn,

Brenda: She could mean that she doesn't want a lot of other gifts and only wants her man friend.

Me: I know what she means, I was making a joke so don't overanalyze and ruin it.

Brenda: Don't ruin my song.

Now that's a burn. Can I just use your profile photo as my yule log video this year? :-)

That would probably work.

Art Imitates Life

I had a flat tire this morning and it momentarily bummed me out. I ran over a bolt and could see it sticking out of the damned thing. I really didn't feel like crawling around on the oily pavement in my work clothes, so I called roadside assistance provided by my insurance carrier. Go »

Kinderfest

Brenda and I were going to take the girls sailing but there was rain in the forecast so we decided to put it off for a week. Rainy combined with slightly chilly (60 degrees) doesn't make for a good time outside of Wasilla. So we decided to go to Kinderfest at a local regional park. Go »
