I’m going to be in and out over the next week, blogging when I can. Mostly I’ll be spending time back home with family and friends as well as working on a couple of projects I’ve been neglecting. Catching up on some non-political reading is also part of the plan…as is eating a ton of roasted chestnuts, a Christmas favorite…and building a whole bunch of snowmen. That’s me and my grandson below with out first snowman of the season.
I wish you all a Happy Holiday season. May it be safe and joyous. Take good care of yourselves.
What those little kiddies did not see behind that smile of mine was the excruciating pain I was in. I pulled something in my lower back while putting on my Santa boots. But hey, I popped a couple of painkillers, got into my sled and did my Santa thing. That’s how us Santas roll.
All in all, it was great fun. Methinks I was born to be a Santa.
I’m up in northern New York state for a week and the first snow storm of the season just hit. I’m not a big fan of snow but I do love snow storms. There is something uniquely special about being stranded in for a few days with no place to go because the city just shut down on you. A coffee machine, a good book, my laptop and I’m happy.
Of course it would be nice if the internet wasn’t affected by the storm. That last line was my segue to let you know that the internet has been popping in and out all morning so if you’re not hearing from me, do NOT send in St. Bernards with those cute little whiskey barrels tied to their necks. I’m in no hurry to be rescued.
Climbed out of bed to let you know I’m getting back into bed as soon as I finish writing this and a toon post. Battling a cold/flu and I plan on following the advice of one of our readers who wrote me yesterday.
Whenever I have the first signs of a cold coming on, I drink a whole carton of Tropicana Antioxidant Advantage OJ like within 40 – 60 minutes, a ‘shot’ (or 2) of 5 Hour Energy formula (or liquid B12 like from Walgreens), and just do nothing; just veg, chill, relax, sleep.
The part I like best of the above advice is the do nothing, veg and sleep part. I don’t do enough ‘do nothing’ when I’m sick and today seems like a good day to give it a go.
Back tomorrow and hey, happy Wednesday. I’ve set the alarm clock for Thursday.
National Geographic has an interesting piece on the origin of the Mummy’s Curse. And no, we’re not referring to what Sarah Palin’s children will endure in the years ahead…well, it might be but it’s not the topic here. We’re talking about the infamous curse cast on all those daring to disturb a pharaoh’s tomb as exemplified by the sudden death of Lord Carnarvon, the man who sponsored the King Tut expedition in 1922. Another myth busted.
While we’re talking about ancient bones, let me say for the record that if I had to do it all over again…if I was 18 again and on my way to university, I’d want to study archaeology or paleoanthropology or any other related field which would have me wearing an Indiana Jones fedora and exploring ancient ruins. My claustrophobia would pose a bit of a problem but I’m sure I’d find a way around it. . Photo: Kenneth Garrett/National Geographic
