It sounded good to start
Actually, I broke down and opened an account after the 1000th person chided me for not having one. I have been there ever since. Sorry about that.

After all our holiday travels, we like to spend New Year's a bit more quiet than most. There was an early evening visit to a friend's house, with homemade pizzas and store bought cake. That soiree adjourned around 9 so we could get the kids to bed. Our evening was spent quietly in front of the TV watching a $0.99 rental of Iron Man (I love Amazon Unbox and Tivo!!!). It's a great movie with a ridiculously powerful cast for what was, ostensibly, an action super hero movie. The movie was so good, we forgot to pause it at 11 so we could watch the ball drop. We didn't even notice til my mom called a bit after 11 to wish us a happy new year.
For those that haven't heard yet, my dad lost his battle with pancreatic cancer on the 18th. It was a bittersweet moment, but I was glad to see he didn't suffer. We were planning to head to Detroit for Christmas on the 23rd. Obivously, that was delayed so we could fly to and from Baltimore for the funeral. I wish the weather cooperated a bit more. Our flight back was delayed due to a ground stop at O'Hare (surprise). Lauren and Eric were both wonderful seeing as we had to sit in the plane for an hour before it was allowed to take off. It would have been better if I had remembered the DVD player, but they were still very good. The drive to Detroit was marred by downpours for most of Michigan that limited visibility to about 1/2 mile.
I'm hoping to post this on the 2nd, but the hosting company for chrispy.net is having connection issues.

Okay, WTF?!?!?! No, not the torturing with barbecue tongs. I just want to know where the hell this guy gets off calling 5'5" "very short"?!?! Dennis Ferrier better watch it or he may find a very short person's foot where the sun don't shine
I had always known my pasty, jiggly, rotund figure did not really blend well with the physiques on display at Lifetime. I didn't care though, I was there for my daughter. I had no idea how insulating the family locker room was for my self image. In the mens locker room, there are 4 sets of lockers in a U shape with a bench in the center. I picked one and started getting Eric and myself ready. At this point, a young man I could only describe as an Adonis walked in. This guy was tall, muscular (but not too much), square jaw, the works. So, there I stand, flubby (it's fatty with the flubber jiggle) and white next to a male super model. I'm not gay, but if this guy asked nicely, I would have to consider it.

My fears seem warranted when the follow up call came:
Mr Brown? This is Drippy the Grease Monkey. Um ... we're going to start with replacing the air control valve, updating the computer, and performing an induction serviceThis cannot end well.
