West by God Virginia

As is becoming our custom, my little bride and I spent the Fourth with our friends in West Virginia. The grilling was done just as the skies opened to a steady rain. So the party moved indoors, and didn’t miss a beat. After the serving of the Independence Cake1, most of the local [...]

Where Else but in Los Angeles?

Santa in G-String Arrested on DUI Charge
In the Christmas oddities department, from La-La-Land:
A man in a Santa hat was arrested Sunday night for investigation of drunken driving after he was spotted outside Grauman’s Chinese Theater in Hollywood wearing a wig, a red lace camisole and a purple G-string, police said.
And, in a stunning example of [...]

Silent Night

Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin Mother and Child
Holy Infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
Silent night, holy night!
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia!
Christ, the Saviour is born
Christ, the Saviour is born
Silent night, holy night
Son of God, love’s pure light
Radiant [...]

Totally Missed “A Charlie Brown Christmas”

A Charlie Brown Christmas aired last night, I think it was, on ABC. I got home from work late, had to check out my POS work computer, brick-like in its lack of VPNness, and completely missed the show until it was about over. I’d seen no advance notice, or the Tivo would have been [...]

O Tannenbaum, O Tannenbaum

If it takes the entire weekend, my little bride and I will get this tree put up. The challenge is compounded by Shiner’s bottles being brown.

Thanks to my Brown City MI connection for the pic.

And the Hickory Smoke drifts Skyward

The turkey is in the smoker; an 11 pound specimen1 buttered, seasoned, and lightly stuffed with citrus, apple, and onion.2 The fowl is over a water pan, to which some wine and additional seasonings have been added. And the hickory chips and chunks are now working their magic.
It is a little windy for my [...]

Soakin’

Home from work, earlier than normal, but it still wasn’t like getting cut loose at 2 or 3 in the afternoon. Sipping a cold one, and soaking the hickory chunks for the turkey smoking extravaganza tomorrow. My little bride has cleaned the smoker, and lined the fire pan and water pan with foil. [...]

Safe Travels

To all who take to the roads (or heaven forbid, the skies) today, please travel safely. I’m doing my part, I’m only going to work and back, and plan to spend the holiday ensconced here at tbbs WorldHQ. In that fashion, there will be one less vehicle adding to the congestion.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Merry Christmas

And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, [...]
