We just got back from San Francisco and it was
great. I have like 75 pictures to download but not to worry, I
won't post all of them here. Thanks to David for his
hospitality, hope to return it soon. I'll have a lot more stuff in
the next couple days but we just bought a tree and there's goobs of wash
to do. Tomorrow we shall get up and retrieve The Kaleb from my folk's house and things
will be great again. Haven't seen her since November ya know.

I've got pics from San Francisco
downloaded finally and they're pretty good. We picked up
Kaleb today so she won't be able to be spoiled anymore and we've got the
Christmas tree up but no ornaments yet. It looks pretty good with
only the lights actually.

Great dinner out with friends tonight after
over sleeping an hour and a half this morning. I'm sleepy now.

We've got the tree decorated, the lights
outside, all the presents bought, a drama queen meteorologist telling us
about the ice storm coming, and a sucking new president. Have a
nice day. Oh yea, only over sleep an hour and 15 minutes today.

We'll I've officially finished my shopping for
Christmas and I must say that I have done well. Of course I can't
say what I got for people here but as I watch the train go around the
tree, something I've always wanted, I'm sure everybody will be
satisfied. Now I'm off to grill the steaks in the cold rain and if
you haven't seen the San
Francisco pics, do it now.

It's cold and rainy and snowy and sleety, is
that a word? That's OK because gas is down to $1.30 and I got
roses yesterday. Just for being me.

We visited McAdenville, NC
tonight, Christmastown, USA. I know I'm getting old because the
only ones who enjoy it are the young and the old and I thought it was
great. The whole town is decorated and your drive through about 5
MPH. A great tradition. By the way, I hated when I was young
which only goes to prove, as I've been told, I was just a Little Man Tate.

Happy Christmas Eve. This morning was
great, breakfast with friends and a nice time to boot. This
evening was different. Tonight we would go to my brother's house
to do Christmas Eve with my family and tomorrow would be spent with
Duncan's family. We had taken off but I forgot my camera so we
came back only to have a message from my brother saying that the shit
had hit the fan. Needless to say, my parents showed up at my
door. ***DELETED*** (This is the only entry I have ever
deleted because I vented and hurt someone's feelings which I should not
have) Merry Fucking Christmas. Tomorrow will be better, and
thanks to Duncan for the great tent and air mattress. I love him very
much tonight.

Today was better, much better. This
morning I went to my brother's house and played with his kids, exchanged
gifts and ate breakfast. I still don't understand what went down
yesterday, and frankly, I don't care. Had lunch with Duncan's
crazy family, and I mean crazy in only a complementary manner, and then
hung out with my best friend Ray,
along with Tommy and of course, had a great time. Today I have
collected a sleeping bag, Coleman lantern, outdoor utensils, a wallet,
and a "The Films of John Travis" porn book. Thanks everybody.

Yes it's new and improved. Let me know
what you think because I really worked hard on it. Well, not
really.

Road Trip Today: We explored the Triad of
North Carolina today. This is an area of the state which includes High Point, the
furniture capital of the world, Winston Salem,
the cigarette capital of the world, and Greensboro,
the city where Duncan went to school, so I got a thorough tour of that
place. All three cities have these great downtown areas with some
great old buildings. It's sad because where I live, I
don't think there are more than five buildings in uptown that date back
before 1950. It's a great place we just tend to tear down a lot
instead of thinking about the past. I think I could live in
Greensboro for some reason, although I'm not really sure why. We
also visited this huge mall which didn't seem that old but was
completely empty except for an old Montgomery Wards which are going out
of business also. Detroit anyone?
Also, thanks for the nice e-mails about the new
look, and yea I know that the top of my head is cut, and I'm working on
the Netscape. Cops is on, and Duncan's frying a turkey, gotta go
now.
