Congratulations, Fat Boy!

While looking at my blog stats, I noticed that Fat Boy was my 100th post. So congratulations Fat Boy!  For this honor, we will hang a bunch of stuff all over you, occasionally remember to water you, try to keep the kids and cats off of you, and when Christmas is over, we’ll strip you [...]

Christmas Mission

I am on a mission.  Since I was a teenager, I’ve collected Christmas albums.  Then, of course, they were on tape   Every year I would add one or two.  I have slowed down the last couple of years because I have so many and because I got an iPod last year and I [...]
