Ah a day late, but still thinking of you...
*********************************
Hi all -- Christmas is upon us. I have summarily avoided going to the shops by purchasing all of my gifts online. There was an ad on the side of the bus this morning for Yahoo Shopping which said, O come all ye lazy, which appropriately fits my shopping mood this season. I think that the economy (the bad e-word) is making this season not so merry and bright. But we all have to do what we can. The way I combat the holiday blues is to send Bush angry emails. Yes, I have become one of those wacky people who sends emails to politicos, complaining about something or other. It's hard to avoid NOT using the Internet to reach out and touch someone. Of course, I would like to slap the little bas***d, but that's neither herenor there (and I would get slammed into jail for avery long time if I did so). Don't you wish sometimes that presidents still had the Sunday afternoon chats, where they allowed the commoners to "drop" by and speak their minds? I would give Bush a piece of mind and then steal a giant wheel of government cheese(Does anyone remember if it was Madison or Jackson who opened the White House to guest and offered them giant wheels of cheese, among other party favors? ProbablyJackson. He knew how to have a good time. And wha tis it with the people's love affair with government cheese? Maybe it is a Southern thing, but some of the wealthy snobby people I knew growing up loved their government cheese).

As you all know, I love television. I think all of those formative years spent in front of the old black and white changed my brain chemistry to leave a large section of my white matter addicted to TV. I have finally gone over the deep end and signed up for digital television. The digital part is lost on my tv-- not that sophisticated; BUT the 300 channels as well as the four premium channels (HBO, Cinemax, TheMOvie Channel and Showtime) definitely make up for the less crisp picture. So if you are in the neighborhood, call and drop by to watch the telly -- it's amazing how there really isnothing to watch on TV anymore, especially when you have 300 choices to choose from.
