- Trying to sleep while the kids are home from school and cooped up in the house was a futile exercise.
- I’m not sure what they were doing all day, but laying on the bed in the basement study, listening to the thunder above my head in the living room, I imagined they were re-enacting the battle of Marston Moor, or possibly Zama, complete with elephants.
- I guess it was chilly in the house today. I woke up with two cats cuddled up to whatever curve they could find on me.
- Last night I received something I’ve wanted for years: a krumkake iron. Needless to say, I spent an hour or so making crispy, sweet little cookies.
- Yes, I indulged my inner Scandihoovian. It’s wonderful.
- I’m enjoying my last night of graveyard shift tonight. Something tells me I’m going to be exhausted by the time I get home.
- This is my coffee. There is much like it, but only this coffee is mine.
- Had dinner tonight with my aunt and uncle who are driving south from North Dakota to spend Christmas with their kids and grandkids.
- 3 decades is too long to go without seeing family.
- Divorcing parents – You have no idea the amount of damage you can cause by uprooting your kids and keeping them away from your ex-spouse’s family. Quit it.
- I really need to go home to North Dakota, either on vacation or permanently.
- My aunt brought me a package of lefse. I will have lefse for Christmas, and that is a good thing.
- I’ve tried making my own, but it always comes out in a consistency somewhere between roofing shingle and SAPI plate.
- There are very few things on earth more funny than watching a movie, which was originally in English, was given Chinese subtitles, then had English subtitles added that are a translation of the Chinese subtitles.
- I really shouldn’t laugh. Their English is better than my Mandarin.

/ December 22, 2012Yeah, it’s not health food, but it does taste good.
Yeah, North Dakota gets cold, but 40 below keeps the riff raff out.
Merry Christmas to you and yours too, Madd.

/ December 22, 2012The way I look at it is that it’s easy to put another layer on, but at a certain point it’s hard to take another layer off.
