Hello dear friends...

1. How cool does our president elect look in a suit and his shades? I keep thinking he's about to shoot aliens with a flame thrower or something.
2. K's grandmother had a stroke and is recovering fairly nicely. Your prayers, please.
3. Randi Rhodes is our Ann Coulter. I can't figure out who our O'Reilly is, but I'm sure to be embarrassed when I figure it out.
4. Sweet Pea's little hoop-dee got its first wreck last night. The family is fine, aches aside. Hyundai Elantra gets the highest crash rating possible in Madsaxer's book.
5. The pergola project is stalled. Can I get it primed before this weekend? I hope to paint the house (and the pergola) this weekend so it will look great with our almost Griswoldian Christmas light spectacular.
6. Forget wisdom, judgement and choice of associates for just a moment. W is behaving maturely lately.
7. Oklahoma will win out. They will beat Tech 66-49. They will beat OSU 69-28.* They will beat Missouri 42-24 in a frigid Arrowhead Stadium. Then they will play in the national title game and beat Alabama 35-10. Mack Brown will whine. He will have a point, but it won't matter. *Would have been closer before this team was disheartened in a couple of high-grade losses.
8. J has been inspired by a loosely scientific experiment involving a McDonald's cheeseburger in the works at fellow-blogger Kurtis' crib. Thanks, Kurtis. We're expecting a big raspberry from the 5th grade science fair jury, but you never know...
9. Cigarettes have crept back into my life. Crap. Nothing I do makes me feel stupid like returning to the scene of that crime... The battle is lost, but the war is not over.
10. We recruited a tenor sax player, and I have been joyfully re-assigned to the baritone at church. HONK HONK!!! It's almost Christmas time, the most wonderful church music time of the year.

Man, I'm so influential... Your kid realizes brilliance when he hears it...

And I bet his won't mold. I made the mistake of never removing it from the box and moisture was trapped. So I bet if done properly, you can avoid the mold... the top bun still hasn't molded.

Bingo. No mold. The french fries also still look appetizing, but the home-made french fries (fresh potato, pure vegetable oil and salt) are solid blue and 1/2 their original volume.

If I eat nothing but McDonalds, will I live forever? You are what you eat...

Heya,

I'm sorry to hear about your recent troubles. I hope K.'s grandmother continues to mend, and that you're all doing all right after the car accident. re: the latter, if anything crops up, hie thee (and thine) to a licensed massage therapist to get some work done. It really makes a difference.

I am so with you on the smoking front. The first time I quit, I stayed quit for five years, then suddenly started up again. Thanks to the patch, I quit again. I haven't had as much as a puff since August of 2001.

It's really hard to quit, but it's worth it. And once you do, you will eventually stop thinking about it at all.

Brad's older brother got accupuncture to quit smoking and it did him a treat. Whatever you do, check with your cardiologist first.

And now I'll stop lecturing!

Take care, my friend.
