Yesterday, we went to a nearby Christmas tree farm and got a tree. The wife insisted we have a live one this year. Of course, she didn't have to get the damned thing up on top the Trailblazer. Or off. Or onto the tree stand. Or into the house. Or get the lights put on.
But I made damn sure she knows it's her responsibility to vacuum underneath that damnable thing.
My company Christmas party was Saturday night. We did not go. That's two years running. Last year it was because the wife was pregnant and could have popped at any moment. This year, with all that was going on with my dad, I just forgot about the party until the deadline to sign up was past.
completely understandable.

All my ex's live in Texas,
And Texas is a place I'd dearly love to be.
But all my ex's live in Texas
And that's why I hang my hat in Tennessee.
Rosanna's down in Texarcana; wanted me to push her broom,
And sweet Ilene's in Abilene; she forgot I hung the moon,
And Allison in Galveston somehow lost her sanity,
And Dimples who now lives in Temple's got the law lookin' for me.
All my ex's live in Texas,
And Texas is a place I'd dearly love to be.
But all my ex's live in Texas
And that's why I hang my hat in Tennessee.
I remember that old Frio river where I learned to swim.
And it brings to mind another time where I wore my welcome thin.
My transcendental meditation, I go there each night,
But I always come back to myself long before daylight.
All my ex's live in Texas,
And Texas is a place I'd dearly love to be.
But all my ex's live in Texas
And that's why I hang my hat in Tennessee.
Some folks think I'm hidin',
It's been rumored that I died,
But I'm alive and well in Tennessee.

That's something else for my list of "Rules for when I'm global dictator" - safe zones where no talk of politics/activism/other hippie crap is not allowed, so that people can be allowed to enjoy their lives.
Some of my other rules:
All fast food restaurants are Popeye's. All fine dining establishments serve either Louisiana cuisine, Texas BBQ, or Asian food.
No more "reality" TV shows.
No more Damian Wayne. Barry Allen was never resurrected, Wally West is whatever, and Bart Allen is still the Flash. Grant Morrison and Rob Liefeld are forever banned from the world of comics.
As always, I am off by one.
HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY TO BABY GIRL ZOMBIE
happy belated birthday to Katie
as a matter of fact, a Katie from Marlons playgroup has turned 1 yesterday as well
Did you ever have one of those days when you feel as if you're being tested?
a-yup.
I think I'm just going to go ahead and buy Guardians of the Galaxy without having seen it first. I trust my brother enough to know I'd enjoy it.
You will not be disappointed. There's a little bit of harsh language but otherwise your kids will enjoy it too.
