Thanks, Laura. The tag ("Oh, Fred's an intellectual, brings a book to every meal....") is from Tom Lehrer's "It Makes a Fellow Proud to Be a Soldier." And it fits me perfectly.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Happy Boxing day, St. Stephens day and whatever other holidays it may be.
The sing along Fiddler on the Roof had a good portions of the Jews in Olympia. The costumes were amazing. The local Rabbi totally caught Tevye. (Actually he looks like a younger, thinner version of actor who played Tevye. Put it this way; attendance among women definitely increased at our local temple when he took over.)

So are the New England Buffistas getting snow right now? They're predicting a Nor'Easter for us tomorrow, and you guys usually have our weather about 24 hours before we get it.
Oh, and I skipped like a 50 ft Hec in Dirndl.
I hope everyone had a happy Christmas and are braving the Boxing Day sales.

We aren't getting it yet, but we will be starting this afternoon. I am still at the part of the year where I love Nor'easters. By March, nsm.
The iPod story is getting less cute. I'm having an ungodly time trying to convince what was once Dave's iPod that it wants to connect to a PC instead of his sleek little Powerbook (we had both already formatted and set up the iPods before we decided to switch). He gloated at me for hours last night about the fact that his Mac had no issues with the switchover, while my PC keeps screwing it up.
We just got into a hell of a fight this morning because he kept trying to do it "for me" (hanging over my shoulder when I'm at my laptop without an express invitation to do so is one of my biggest pet peeves), and he stomped off to go do errands with my mom when I told him he was treating me like I was five. Since he left, I thought I'd found the problem (bad USB to iPod cable) and am using the other cable...now it sees the iPod but has spent the last ten minutes attempting to reset it.
I will figure this out. This iPod will be mine. Oh yes.
Oh, and did I mention the Christmas tree fell over this morning? This may have something to do with our post-Christmas blahs.
ETA: FredPete, I'm so sorry to hear about Hubs. Please send him my well-wishes.
