Happy New Year!


Happy 2010 New Year!

I still can't believe it's New Year's Eve. It's not much of a deal here, seems like everyone is bunked up after Christmas but I like to celebrate it and celebrate it we shall!

We had a feast. Could not even eat it all. A party of two was great. When the New Year arrives we are going to play the flute and beat the pans to make noise.

Anyway, Happy New Year!

Pondering

He would look good in this shirt.

Why do we celebrate Christmas?

Seriously, to me it's more like a regular holiday, which basically means just day off and that is a good thing. But all the fuss and commercial overtones? It's not a Christmas as much as it is Giftmas and you of course are supposed to buy all your gifts for friends and relatives at the mall.

The amount of junk at the malls are overwhelming and it's all same ol' same ol'. The funny thing, you can't even buy what you want. How do I know? Well, I wanted to buy a pair of walking shoes. I had my mind settled on Reabok and there were no shoes available in my size or at most, there would be just one pair but either wrong colour or model or something. I have one of the most common sizes of shoes and I went there twice and they never replaced the stock. I was very disappointed.

Free Turkey

Free Food! (Tomasito photo, 2009)


We had the fun of going out for Turkey Day dinner at the Free Feed for Everybody "do" at the church/school located right below our apartment (we're on a steep hillside!).

The name of the Church/School is "Light and Life" which just about covers all the good stuff.


At the feed I was faced with The Vegetarian's Dilemma: Free Turkey!


I fell off the wagon and it was VERY tasty!


Only once a year is OK, NO?


That was a couple of days ago and today the first good rain of the winter was falling here all night long--so extra-nice here in the desert of Southern California!

Good.

New Game

I ordered a new game on internet and it arrived in 2 days! The funny part is that even with a shipping it was still less expensive than ordering in retail store.

So far it's good. Lots of guesswork though in spite of the fat that it's supposed to be a murder mystery investigstion.

Monster Mash

Halloween is right around the corner and we've got a good song. This Monster Mash is a classic that deserves listening.

Palomar Mountain


Gosh, it's been a while since we went someplace. I've been working and it's not easy to get out. This picture makes winter look very attractive: blue clear sky, a pine tree and snow on the ground.
