Hey, You Muthers!

MERRY CHRISTMAS ANYWAY!

Who's working today? I may work some tonight, too. My daughter and my son are both working today. He's almost through and she just went in to work 3P - 11P. She still works for Virgin Mobile over at Sitel Corp (which used to be called Client Logic). Everybody in Asheville has either worked for Client Logic or knows someone who has.

So to everyone and especially those working, I wish you a Merry Christmas, and all the other pertinent holiday greetings today.

Hope you have a scintillating Solstice
A delightful Yule
May your mirth be multi-orgasmic
Your visions vibrant
Your glee glorious
Your festivities fulfilling
And your halls decked with Love and Peace.

Santacon!
Every December for the last 14 years, Cacophonous Santas have been visiting cities around the world, engaging in a bit of Santarchy as part of the annual Santacon events.

Happy Valentine's Day!
Sending much love to my son and daughter today and always.

Still driving each other insane after all these years. Freshly brewed coffee, truffles, cards and flowers were waiting for me on my desk this morning. And here I thought we weren't even speaking to each other. I made him a carrot cake for his Valentine's treat. But he just gets a nibble. Of cake. [picture: capnwacky via: presurfer ]

I'd like to concur with GoFish and also celebrate the newly married folks in San Francisco. What a joyous time for you all.

New England Snow Screensaver

This Antique Christmas Lights site is indexed by decades. Some of my favorite tree lights were the "bubble lights" on my Grandmother's tree when I was small. Or the pastel frosted glass ones. Now most tree lights are the miniature strings with either multi-colors or all white lights. How about a tree filled with novelty lights?

New England Snow Screensaver can be downloaded for the full effect of the animated snow and the music playing each Christmas season. A personal favorite that I've dug up each year since 1997 and it's always been a favorite at work.

Trying to get my blogging done in time for the Duke game @ 9:00 pm Wednesday night. I'm a huge Duke Blue Devils basketball fan. They happen to be playing Michigan State University (MSU) tonight; Shirl's favorite team. From her hometown, no less. I believe that our friendly wager involves me bragging about how great MSU's win was if they win, and Shirl will extol Duke's virtues if they win.
