Rain, Snow….I’ll Just Call It Snain!

I was chatting with Linus about the weather because that’s all anyone is talking about and he informed me that he’s going to become a Weather Icon.

He told me that he could totally point at a weather map and say cleaver things like….”We’ve found Nemo” and then point to the storm on the map.

Which led me to go on a diatribe about the fact it’s kind of dumb to give storms names.  Is this to make them seem more friendly?  Anyone who has survived Katrina, Andrew or Sandy can tell you that they aren’t friendly….they are meanies!  And if Nemo dumps 3 ft. of snow on New England they will not have the warm and fuzzies about Nemo either!

Apparently I need to eat a snickers bar because I’m becoming grumpy.  Sorry…continue with your regularly schedule programming.  Out!

Merry Christmas…Happy New Year and Other Stuff

Christmas was fun.  We have an Elf living with us now.  Her name is Chardonnay and she likes to drink and surf the internet but not necessarily in that order.

Bjorn said anyone with pointy ears and wine is always welcome.  He’s cool like that for a troll without pointy ears.

Everyone took turns with the Santa disguise for fun and giggles but the best was Linus who went all Grizzly Santa Adam with his costume.

Later on Christmas Linus and Teddy hung around chatting about Curling and how it is an underrated a sport.  Which it totally is and the world should jump on board the Curling Bus!

The whole gang wishes you a Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy New Year!
