IT COMES TO US ALL IT'S AS SOFT AS YOUR PILLOW

Good lord, it's almost Christmas and I haven't written for a month. Yikes. So we're about to hit the road, which will take us from BFL to SMF to PDX and back, which to say the least will be challenging with a nine month old, but should be fun as plans include seeing I Am Legend, eating more all you can eat sushi, and visiting Portland for the first time in ten years to see whether or not it will be a nice place to live someday. And I haven't booked any hotels yet. Hi, I am high. We'll be sleeping on the street with the sad street urchins.

So instead of writing tonight, because I gotta feed my child some brussell sprouts (he likes them and I'm not asking questions) and then we're going down the street to a neighbor party, where in years past I have learned things like a) my neighbor did lots of cocaine up until 2002, b) Gray likes to chat up seventeen year old girls and when accused of it goes "I was not! What?" and c) the wine runs out fast so I gotta get there early, I will leave you with two holiday photos. One is our Christmas card, heads blurry to protect the identity of the innocent (and look at those enormous thighs!). The other is the boy on Santa's lap, not crying, asking Saint Nick for a case of those Cheerio-like star-puff chemical finger foods he loves so well. I guess it balances out the brussell sprouts so I won't complain.

Merry Christmas & happy new year.
