Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Sing hey! for the bath at close of day
That washes the weary mud away!
A loon is he that will not sing:
O! Water Hot is anoble thing!
O! Sweet is the sound of falling rain.
and the brook that leaps from hill to plain;
but better than rain or rippling streams
is Water Hot that smokes and steams.
O! Water cold we may pour at need
down a thirsty throat and be glad indeed;
but better is Beer, if drink we lack,
and Water Hot poured down the back.
O! Water is fair that leaps on high
in a fountain white beneath the sky;
but never did fountain sound so sweet
as splashing Hot Water with my feet!
That's my thinking. We'll do our good-children thing now and then when we've got kids... tough. We'll probably try to do it now and then but Christmas at home meant so much to me as a kid.
I am pretty sure next year we at least won't try visiting both sets the same week. Next Wed. we fly from Pittsburgh back to C.R., and then a couple hours later, to Texas. It's going to be a long day.
I'm assuming it didn't work out/make sense to fly CR to Pittsburgh to Texas?
Unfortunately no... and the Tx leg, we're on two different sets of flights. Talon's dad gave us enough miles to pay for one ticket but it was cheapest to buy the other on a different airline.
At least you aren't in Colorado any more... it's nasty there this week.
Mornin'...

Got bupkis here. Looks like the storm swerved way north.
You always get bupkis... you're some sortof anti-storm God. That might come in handy :~)
That's what I've heard! I probably would have missed that, though. Since I was in school, we got long christmas breaks and I would have left town after my last final.
Haven't had a flake of snow here. It's not very Christmasy.
No snow in sight here either... just another wind storm Christmas Eve... ~bites nails~
I've been told that sometimes I get invited to meetings just because I have a "calming effect" on people. Heh.
I hadn't considered the weather angle before. Maybe I can rent this service out. :-)
Yeah but we have been getting rain for a the last day and a half and more expected. If it was just a few degrees cooler.... We need snow.
I think there's an untapped market for you :~)
Said the night wind to the little lamb...
So bored. I have my time in for this week but I am waiting to hear from a couple people before I take off for the year.
No snow here for Christmas. S'posed to be in the 40s and 50s. Rain likely on Christmas Day.
Ah heck with it....
I need this...
because I am bored.
Is it...
mine?
