Christmas


Breaking out of the holiday mold

Travis Fremming of Jordan, the president of Seasonal Impressions, sent me this link to an interesting online story: 

http://www.prweb.com/releases/2008/05/prweb905664.htm.

"LED Christmas lighting has broken out of the holiday mold," Fremmings says in the story.


Lesson learned: Don't leave camera unattended

At a recent party, I learned a lesson for us all. So take my advice: Don't leave the camera unattended.

Keep an eye on your video camera, and don't leave your camera within reach of small children, animals, or -- especially -- goofballs use it.

Or else this is what they will do:


If only I wasn’t working...

It’s still snowing this morning. I’d love to be out enjoying it – especially with the new cross country skis I got for Christmas – but I have to be behind the computer today.

At least it was a white Christmas!


A great weekend

This weekend is going to be a good one, and here’s why:

  • I get to most of it with my girlfriend.
  • I’m going to a gospel concert.
  • I’m going to eat three great home-cooked meals.
  • I’ll be done with my Christmas shopping.
  • It’s just after 9 a.m. Friday, and I’m about to leave work – starting my weekend early.

Do you have big plans for the weekend?


Christmas shopping

The other day, I made a list of people I had to buy Christmas presents for, and how many presents I was expecting to buy. It was a lot, or so I thought.


Office Christmas parties

I’m headed to my girlfriend’s office Christmas party this weekend, and I’m not sure how I feel about it.


Deck the halls and the lampposts


I don’t like making dinner

Heading into week three of the fantasy season, I’m already starting to get worried.


A truly awesome sight

The weekend of Christmas, I went to my parents’ house to see family and friends in Platteville before I drove to my grandparents’ house in Sheboygan (about a three hour drive away). My family left Platteville the night of Dec. 23. I spent that night with friends and left the morning of Dec. 24. I wanted to get to my grandparents early enough to spend the whole day with family, so I left Platteville at about 7 a.m.


Bam! Pow! Cool!

A few weeks ago, I bought a new computer – an iMac. I haven’t put many miles on it yet, because I still need to buy a few programs for it. But I was playing around with it the other night and I came across the coolest built-in program I have ever seen.
