Ping List for my rambling thoughts. It’s been a while since I last rambled here but for first time in months, I had a quiet afternoon all to myself.
For me, its still waaay too early to get into the Christmas spirit, but I feel it coming on nonetheless. Funny, the worst year in years, and I feel far more "Christmas-y" than I have in years. I don't try to scorn the corny stuff anymore, I just succumb, and of course don't let in overshadow the true meaning of Christmas.
You are asking an awful lot of Nicholas Cage, whose decor style is described as “fratboy bordello”
A Rotisserie is like a morbid Ferris wheel for Chicken.

They weren't married. Legally anyways.
I enjoyed “The Family Man.”
I also enjoyed your writing. Put me on your ping list. It was The Pogues what did it.
I do NOT miss big cities. I’m happy in the midwest.
Good read.....Nice xmas shot of da crib too
I guess it was two years ago or so at 5am driving to work on Coast2Coast which I never listen to otherwise, an economic wonk was on saying the problem with America was we expect 65% or higher to own their homes, when in reality it should be ~50% because home ownership limits mobility and entreprenurialship and more or less dooms stagnating
regions.
I remember being offended deeply but now wish I’d paid more attention. Up-rooting from your home is unthinkable, but anymore the alternative is equally unthinkable.
Thanks SamAdams76. I lived in your neck of the woods for a some years. I did not mind bailing out either.
Very nice read, Sam. I get those chickens sometimes too, they’re surprisingly good. I was ill for Thanksgiving (boo!) but the next day I got one of those chickens and had sweet potatoes on the side. It was as close as I could get to what I missed at the feast the day before. My faithful dog got a good chunk of my pork chop tonight. He had about a third of it. It makes him happy and that’s a good thing.
I am less in the Christmas spirit this year than back in 2008. This is worse. We know what will happen this time for sure and there will be no restraint shown by the socialists now. I cling only to my Lord and Savior and trust in Him alone.
Good luck on the job. I am a few hundred miles north of Chicago. I don’t recommend Wisconsin. We have the nastiest liberals on the planet here. I’d love to leave here and never look back, but the family is all here and the husband still has a decent job. Nearest decent state I know of is Nebraska as far as percentage of conservatives. I hope your job is there! Best of luck to you. God Bless.
Nice read.
Enjoyed reading this. Rotisserie chickens are one of my favs, and my husband is thrilled that 25 Days of Christmas has started on Family channel.
Merry Christmas to you and your wife, and good luck on your future endeavors. Change can be a good thing.
Nice, nice read! Brought back lots of nice memories too.Thanks.
Thanks for the lovely evening read! Your home outside looks as good as the inside smells! Good luck Monday with the job interview.
It didn’t feel or look like Christmas today in central TX. 84 degrees with a southerly breeze so we just went out to eat!
Blessings to all....YGTG
Wonderful read. Thanks so much for letting us in on it.
If you have a ping list, I would love to be included.
You are a good writer and paint a great picture. Love your house. Hope you get the job. Wish you were my neighbor.
Good luck with the job interview. Please keep up posted...
Oh, and please add me to your ping list.
I have finally figured that the whole purpose of Christmas is to make clear to us the reason for the humongous parking lots which surround shopping centers that are (the parking lots) at all other times two thirds empty.
