I'm Back

Man……it’s been nice livin da life without the man breathin down my neck for the last few weeks, but now I’m back and the worlds still turning. Two days ago I was driving around town with a t-shirt on and the windows down, in the spring-like 70 degree weather. Today its snowing and freakin cold as hell.

I’m pleased to say that I had a killer holiday. I got to hang out with my nuclear family for days on end, and chill out home style. I started my remodeling adventures during my vacation last year, so this year I made a point of not doing any of that. Instead, I acted like an idiot with a gnarly bed head, muttered random absurdities, did some puzzles, and played with the kids and their new toys. My brother the monkey scientist came down from New York and got to spend a week with us, which was fun and good. The kids got to see all the grandfolks and aunts and uncles they could stand. Everyones happy and healthy and that’s what its all about.

I’d like to announce from the tallest tree that I got “Piece of Mind” by Iron Maiden for Christmas. It’s dam good. Also I bought a re-mastered edition of Van Halen 1 at Hastings. I love that crap. I also went to see Return of the King. Whew!…..The story is now complete, and except for the 10 minutes of everyone looking lovingly into each others eyes, it kicked massive ass.
