And/or Happy Holidays.
And/or Happy Holidays.
Christmas is, after all, in little less than two weeks. The big thing’s already gotten; but I need to look at the little things. The kids have had a rough year being cooped up like this, after all.
…Yeah. The ‘kids.’ That’s what I meant, ya, you betcha.
Warning you now: it’s just gonna get crazy, from here on in. Got the travel thing, got the three or four different celebrations in different places because never you mind thing, got the about three pounds of roast beef that need to go somewhere thing, and the rest of it. But that’s OK… I was going to say something sarcastic, here; but it’s probably better that I instead try to make sure that everything is actually going to be OK. Alas, snark can be a habit.
I should make some lists, really.
OK, normally I wouldn’t.
But Anna and the Apocalypse is a Christmas zombie movie musical. That makes it legitimately of note. It doesn’t mean that it’s going to be good; merely that they had to do some extra work to throw this sucker together. That already puts it ahead of a lot of Christmas horror flicks.
…You should have seen this post before I edited it to hide the effects of a drink-heavy dinner with my wife (my sisters and mother have taken the children out bowling). Beers and Irish coffee can have a profound effect on a man, particularly when he no longer drinks competitively. Best of all, the bar was maybe a block away, with no dangerous streets to cross while on foot and half in the bag (to quote the folk sayings of my ancestors). Whee!
I hope everybody has had a good Christmas, so far. It’s been pretty painless for me and mine, equally so far. Hope that continues until I’m safely back home…
…that I have been ORDERED by my wife to take the dang vacation, for once. I am to relax and not foam at the mouth over deadlines, because it is CHRISTMAS and everybody else is taking the week off. I would contest this… except, of course, I cannot.
I will still check in from time to time, over the next week or so. When I need to RELAX and HIDE. So, probably a couple of times a day.
The schedule’s gonna be wonky because it’s a holiday coming up, so in no particular order:
…So maybe that wasn’t as crassly commercial as I thought it’d be. Ach, well. Christmas, amirite?
If you Christmas shop at Amazon via this link, you put money in my pocket at no cost to you. Which is always true about Amazon links generally. I don’t bring it up, much, but it is Christmas time and people are gonna shop anyway.

PS: If you don’t want to give me money I’m pretty sure that there’s still somebody else out there more to your tastes who wouldn’t mind the affiliate traffic, either. Or who might just really, really need it. I’m pretty blessed, honestly.

Merry Christmas.
You’ll start laughing, happily, about four and a half minutes in. If you don’t… well, I’m sorry to hear that. I hope things get better for you.
