On the list of things it doesn’t really feel like, Christmas is near the top.
I mean, I see a tree in front of me, and I know that I have gifts left to wrap (and buy), but it still don’t feel much like the holidays. I don’t mind that, and I really think I feel like this most every year, but the weather is really making it feel un-christmasy to me. Its 50 and overcast outside, and tomorrow should be 63. I haven’t worn a jacket in weeks.
Global warming. Al Gore, where are you when we need you?

Seriously, which one of you hid Pigpen’s shoes? I friggin HATE shoe hunts. What was worse were pacifier hunts, tho. Those little bastards were squirrelly.

Its a little boring at the farm now, nobody really has any plans. I’m thinking Nodbob, Dustmite, Bullet, and I are going out carousing tonight. With booze, in downtown Chattanooga. Except Dustmite, who’s going to be the DD.
Problem is, this town doesn’t seem to have a bar with a decent porter, or at least it didn’t last time BJ and I went out with Jen and Dustmite.

“Problem is, this town doesn’t seem to have a bar with a decent porter…” another reason not to move.

Did you forget to leave cookies out for the shoe fairy? The shoe fairy will hide your shoes if you don’t have out cookies. Happens all the time at my place. I put out cookies and then my shoes come back.

Ahh! Carousing… I remember those days fondly…
If you are bored you can always come up and work my job.
And I have a full day of work tomorrow too!
Bah Humbug!

Shoe fairy? Nah. Kids EAT shoes. I’d blame my kids for eating Pigpen’s shoes, but they haven’t seen him lately.
There’s porter in the bar here, but it’s a hella long drive.

There is a shoe fairy. It drinks porter which is why he can’t find any. I have one in my fridge made special by a friend in celebration of our 42 birthdays. Oregon is very long way though.

What’s that place across from the aquarium? River City Brewery? It was all right when we were there this summer.
I hear you on the heat making things all un-Christmasy. I am literally running the air conditioner (tried opening the windows. but we already put all the storm windows down, and they’re big and heavy)…Sigh.
Al Gore lives a few miles from me. Guess I could go knock on the door and ask him what he’s planning to do about this travesty. ;)

Going shoe hunting is like going Snipe hunting. Not sure if you’ve ever been snipe hunting or not, but you’ll never find it. :-)

It’s supposed to be 72* here (San Diego) on Christmas.
No throwing shoes at me, please.

Punk HP and I used to have some fun at a little bar called the Pickle Barrel. Yesterdays (the bar) is gone for now, but the owner (who was my hs gym coach) has opened up another called Hennens down by the fish tank. And for late night there is (or was) always the Stone Lion close to campus. Enjoy and report back!
