HoHoHo Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas, everyone.

Just because things are offline here for a few more days doesn’t mean we can’t wish a happy holiday to all of you.

We are going to make the best of it in this house today. If everyone else could have an extra great day it will help us along. No pressure, of course. You do you. We love you all no matter what your story looks like.

As the big guy in the red suit is believed to say, HoHoHo! Merry Christmas!

Retail Therapy

It took me 50 years before I had a year where there wasn’t a christmas. This is it, folks. The year without a santa claus for reals.

On Saturday it will be pretty much a normal Saturday. Jen and I are planning on a nice dinner together. Maybe we’ll play some Mario Kart and watch a movie or maybe binge watch some TV or something. We’ll just spend the day together.

I was going to write this post about how I wanted to take my frustrations out on capitalism by buying a new guitar. A Les Paul Junior to be exact. I jokingly asked the love of my life if she would be okay with me buying yet another guitar and to my shock and amazement she said yes! That’s twice she’s said yes to me! Once in the backyard at the duplex when I was on my knee, and then again today. How wonderful!

That’s when she told me she was doing the same thing. Maybe a Nintendo Switch or a PS5. We had a good laugh. I’m not going to buy a $1,600 guitar, especially when it’s only a few months after Jen bought me a much more expensive guitar for my 50th birthday. There is a chance though that I might magically (though probably not christmas magic, given the circumstances) upgrade a pedal or two in the coming days. You know… magically.

Not a Terribly Good Day

As December 22nds go, this one was probably my worst. This morning was just awful. Really bad.

No Christmas for us this year. Maybe a New Years-mas or something, but no Christmas.

Just a five alarm shit hole of a day.
