Keoni's Christmas story is well done and well worth reading.

17962. arkymalarky - 12/25/2005 6:50:41 PM

Yes it is, and I hope he has a great Christmas!

Hope everyone enjoyed their xmas.

me I'm just delighted to have been the recipient of 2 superb gifts from my hubby

2 lbs. of solid 72% chocolate

Complete New Yorker on DVD

What a combination! I've already soaked up a few thurbers and eb whites...not to mention a few Peter Arno and Chas Addams toons, and a most interesting article about a man from latvia in the 1930s who kept writing enormous checks to people who showed him a kindness on an account at a bank which no longer exists.

Simply luscious.

Oh how nice!

I got Bob all the Seinfeld DVDs I could find. I didn't find Season 3.

I'm trying to de-stuff enough to get to sleep.

Hey. Ali, did you have a chrissy holiday?

17966. alistairconnor - 12/28/2005 2:55:23 PM

Five-day weekend with the girls.

We had a great time, messing around at home mostly.

I invited their mother to join us for Christmas Eve. We owed that to the kids : they believe in Christmas. It went very well, all things considered.

O fer chissakes, it was horrible and you know it.

Strained at best. Hope you took photos.

I am well into a 3-day drunk. I hate the freaking holidays.

I spent $2819.47 on liquor this year.

$2606.40 in 2004.
$2746.27 in 2003.
$1837.34 in 2002.
$1125.46 in 2001.
$1278.03 in 2000.


2003 really sucked, didn't it?

17969. alistairconnor - 12/29/2005 10:26:46 AM

I'll tell you what, you're right about 2003.

But wrong about Christmas. I probably enjoyed it more than the Ex, because I'm better at keeping the strands of life separate (or ignoring what's really going on, if you prefer)

I know what you mean about the holidays. I prefer to avoid taking more time off work than I have to, at this time of year.

Did your boy have a good christmas?

17970. Ulgine Barrows - 12/29/2005 10:53:59 AM

yep, he did indeed, thanks for asking.

now if it would snow....

17971. Ulgine Barrows - 12/29/2005 11:04:35 AM

I got him a sled with a steering wheel and brakes. It came in a big-ass box and there is no snow, however.

Child, cousins, cats, have been playing in the box.

17972. alistairconnor - 12/29/2005 11:20:59 AM

Ah. We had the cold but only a dusting of snow over Christmas. Now we've got the real thing. I assume the kids are sledding at their mother's place. We had a hell of a good day last week at a little ski station.

I've been riding my bike through a snow-covered pretty city. Tonight I'll be taking the GF home to the big house in the hills, if the roads are clear.

17973. Ulgine Barrows - 12/29/2005 11:49:36 AM

Ah, indeed.
big house reminds me of brother going to prison.
He was proud he made it to the 'big house'

I almost wrote something even more awful, but maybe he's not dead and he is getting better.

17974. Ulgine Barrows - 12/29/2005 11:51:10 AM

merry christmas!

17975. Ulgine Barrows - 12/29/2005 11:51:41 AM

happy holidays!

17976. Ulgine Barrows - 12/29/2005 11:52:02 AM

Arcade Fire!

17977. Ulgine Barrows - 12/29/2005 11:52:29 AM

AC/DC!

17978. Ulgine Barrows - 12/29/2005 11:53:06 AM

Happy New Year!

17979. Ulgine Barrows - 12/29/2005 12:34:18 PM

AC/DC

The European snowstorm reached us a couple of hours ago. It's not too bad, at least not here and not yet, but reports from the south talk about serious snowdrift problems on the plains.
