Preparing For Battle
by Steve West on December 12, 2010
Yesterday, I saw the first flakes of snow of this winter season. Today, I bought a new shovel.
Brenda and I are preparing for a new house purchase this spring. It's about 50/50 if it will happen. The point being, the more winters I go through here (DC - Home of the Snowpacolypse), the stronger my arguments are to move to Florida.
"But I like Olivia's school, my family is so close, I moved from California to be here"...(whine, bitch, moan). Brenda's arguments, valid as they may be, don't get my spine re-aligned. I hope she noted the snow blower that was on my Christmas list.

It's Still Rock and Roll To Me
Recent conversation with Brenda: me: I heard a song on the radio on the ride home today and found myself returning to the 70's. Brenda: Like you ever left. me: Be that as it may, I was bobbing my head to Journey's Lovin, Touchin', Squeezin'. Go »Technically We're Both Right
Recent encounter at my local deli: Me: (signaling my server) Excuse me, this is an egg salad sandwich. Server: Yes, bon appétit. Me: But I ordered a chicken salad sandwich. Go »Death, Taxes, and You're Wrong
Recent conversation with Brenda: Brenda: Does the sunset look strange to you? It looks like the sun is in front of the poles we're passing. What would cause that? Go »Bunch O' Stuff
Stuff that caught my eye this week. Selection of Marvel comics bloopers - check out #4 featuring Captain Barracuda. Interesting collection of literary tattoos. Go »Blue is the Hue
We (Brenda, Lauren and me) just returned from the Kennedy Center where we saw the Blue Man Group. This was Lauren's birthday gift - her birthday was in May and that's when we ordered tickets, but the show wasn't until today. It was worth every cent, and I envy Scott who lives semi-close to their permanent theater in Orlando. Go »

If there's anything I can do from here to help, just ask. The collapse of the housing market has left a lot of nice houses here for fairly cheap. Florida is wonderful this time of year, but then it's wonderful just about all year.
