obliterated
I don’t know how I did it, but I am caught up! I was so far behind in the growing pile of work that completely obliterated my desk every day that I was sure I’d still be working on it after the new year, but no! Somehow between the phone calls and other requests for Read.

all the answers
Hard as life must be for Richard “Shoe Bomber” Reed, who got pinned with the dumbest terrorist nickname ever, not to mention that goofy photo, no amount of away time and psychoanalysis is going to let Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab live down the sobriquet “Underwear Bomber.” That’s gotta suck. Let’s listen in to Fox News Network Read.

Christmas card
Who the heck is that guy in the back? It’s like I’m this guy who happened to be walking past and I saw these three posing for a photo so I ducked in behind them quick before they could stop me, stopped long enough to glance at the camera and then, maybe, I got lucky Read.

Christmas letter
We were supposed to be on our way to Mom’s place this morning to share a Christmas dinner with her, but the weather isn’t cooperating. Although yesterday we experienced what was very nearly a heat wave, the temp up to forty-six and rain melting all the snow we got last week, after the sun set Read.

I found this coffee mug at the thrift store yesterday and had to bring it home because I got a thing for choo-choos, but also because “Bangor & Aroostook” sounds enough like a phrase you’d hear in a foreign-language porn film that Read.

the plan
I wasn’t going to get up any earlier than five-thirty this morning to fix coffee for My Darling B, but the cats had an agenda and the first item on it was scheduled at five. Bonkers jumped into bed first. This is a new tactic. Before this, he would stand at the end of the Read.

consistory
I thought I’d be able to blog a little something when I got home from stress yesterday evening, but really I was a little too worn out and a lot too much filled up with bratwurst, French fries and beer. I had just enough energy left to brush my teeth, change into my jammies and Read.

Do Nothing But Read
Today is Do Nothing But Read Day, a suggestion started by a grad student at UW Madison, Amanda Lanyon-LaSage, that gained a much wider audience after she appeared on Joy Cardin’s WPR talk show on Friday evening. Now that’s a holiday I can get behind. I spent the afternoon just as she suggested, curled up Read.
