My weekend seemed really short. I'm not looking forward to this week at work.

However, there was a nice end to the weekend, I went to the Feast of Carols at the church I used to go to as a kid (and was in the Feast of Carols as a kid, and Mom directed it one year). It's like a Christmas pageant, only no dialog. Various hymns are sung by the choir and it's sort of like a Living Nativity thing. The congregation brings canned food wrapped in white paper and then towards the end everyone brings them up to the altar. At the end everyone leaves the sanctuary in silence.

No kidding. Evil. EVIL!

Okay, so I'm realizing that I pretty much never use those bookmarks. But I might! And there were tons of them!

KHAAAAN!

Um... Um....

Two Stroke Gas-Powered party blender ..with handlebars.

Um...

t Looks for Tim Allen...

Ask in Tech, Emily? That happened to me once (can't remember how or why) and generally the file is still around, just have to turn the browser and point it in the right direction to look again. Metaphorically speaking.

Emily! I swear, one day when I'm not too tired to stand up after many consecutive days at work, I will return your phone call. My lack of calling only means that I am lame and tired.

Emily, this might help: [link]

Food discoveries:

TJ lite havarti slices toasted between slices of milton multi-grain bread tastes like fried mozarella.

TJ's frozen pumpkin pies are way yummier than their room temp bakery pies.

I just ordered these rain boots for Annabel: [link]

(Her latest favorite thing is to pretend she's a kitty, which chiefly means meowing and saying everything in a high-pitched voice.)

Awesome boots!

my brother discovered that his son was of the idea that christmas was all about baby cheeses he did nothing to disabuse him of that notion

That is fantastic.

So lactose intolerance = atheism? What did the Three Kings bring? Mould, Camembert and Brie?

I had a college friend, very observant Conservative Jew, and one day we were at some kind of buffet where he absolutely loaded up on the cheese tray. I just kind of stared at his plate, and he said, "What can I say? I just a Jew for Cheeses."
