Great Christmas Eve at Zion. Wonderful job by Elyn Ross on harp. Adds amazing touch. Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night.

Christmas Break 2009

Girls and Gina done. One more day for me. All to return the 4th. Will it snow? Will last weeks make it till Christmas?

First Day of Winter

What happened to Monday? Shortest daylight of year in northern hemisphere. Maybe that's why it evaporated so quickly.

PSU National Champs!

Congrats to 3-time NCAA champs! PSU Womens Volley Ball 1st team in history to win 3 straight titles and has won 102 in a row!

Snowy Saturday

Had to work, earlybirds then quiet. Great old fashioned snowstorm. Heard snowmobiles nearby when I was out shoveling. Be safe, enjoy!

Holiday Light shows

wonderful night driving around looking at the holiday lights. thank you to all the Lebanon residents who put out awesome displays!

Baseball moves

Weird, fun, baseball day. Phils land Doc? Deep thought: Bobby Abreu leaves Phils, they win title. Leaves Yanks, they win. Coincidence?

Jetsons

Jetson's had paper boy on space bike deliver newspaper. Will the printed type disappear before we travel by hovercraft?

Cedar Crest Concert Choir

Great Sunday. Breakfast at Quentin Haus. Cedar Crest Concert Choir at Lutheran Church in Schaefferstown. Puts you in Christmas spirit.

Day off

Vacation Day, use or lose. Sunny but it's cold! Dog enjoying company. Watching some movies I meant to watch last baseball off season.

Fun day in Bethlehem

Bus trip to Sands Bethlehem. Holiday thank you from boss. How many bankers to play video roulette? Many but having fun.

Charlie Brown Christmas

Charlie Brown Christmas. A classic. Enjoyed with girls. Made me forget the generally crappy Tuesday.

Youth Sunday at ZUM

Great Youth Sunday at ZUM. Anyone who grumbles about 'kids today' wouldn't after today's service. Thanks to kids, parents and church leaders

Grace first basketball game

Exciting first game of Grace hoops. She's in photo over coach leading huddles head.

Monk finale Part II

Great Monk finale. Thanks for entertaining 8 seasons and making USA network great. NBC should swap signals with USA (radio term).

Full Moon, Howl!!

At hoops with Grace. Pretty full moon week. Strangeness is hanging on for sure. Makes it interesting.

Dance Class

At dance with Gracie. Kids doing great job tapping. What a rainy wet mess outside.

iCarly

Watching iCarly with kids. Line about hidden camera action would outdraw anything on NBC. Sadly right. What's is Comcast thinking?

Big 10 - ACC Challenge

Watching PSU Mens hoops on Espn vs. Va. Go Nits! And on TV, wow, way to go Coach Ed. pennstate

Deer day off

Took deer day off, girls off school. Piano for Gwyneth, Now lunch at Ihop. Grace at home with friend Brianna.

Monk Finale Pt 1

Two-part series finale of Monk starting now. Great dinner at Quentin Tavern to start evening. Troegs Mad Elf Ale, very interesting.

Tv Classic

Charlie Brown Thanksgiving and Girls remarked how Peppermint Patty doesn't dress like a girl. Gina (kick save) she's a 'tom-boy'. Too funny.

Thanksgiving Meditation

“Gracious God, like many believers before us, we complain when things do not go our way. We want abundance of everything rather than what is sufficient to sustain us. We would rather be elsewhere than where we are at the moment. We would rather have the gifts You give to others than what You provide for us. We would rather have You serve us than serve You. Forgive our lack of gratitude for what You give.”

Holiday Travel

Safe and happy thanksgiving to all. Saw travel delays earlier. Philly airport: 140 minute delay in flights. Longest and busiest travel day.

Friday after odd week

TGIF. What a 'new moon' week, each day unique and challenging. Good dinner at Lebanon's Mongolian BBQ. Awesome spicey fresh made bowl.

Techie to Luddite?

Challenging day, almost went Luddite. Grace and I had fun while Gwyenth at dance. Thursday TV, Community is a hoot, 30 Rock, ah laughs.

Scrubs plagirism?

Two and a half men stealing J.D. Voice in his head from Scrubs. Imitation is the sincerest form of sitcom flattery.

Summery Sunday in November

home from church and Sunday School, magnificent November day. Windows open. Taco bell for lunch. Yum! Enjoy your pause before new week.

Decade of New Century

Soon we'll be a decade into the new century. Is 2010 when things will break down? 2000 was a joke. Mayans say 2012. How about Nostradamus?

Flew by

busy day, blinked, it's gone. I feel like George on Seinfeld when he said, I got nothing Jerry. Or something like that.

Monday thoughts

Monday done as November marches on. Oprah has cable channel now? Al Bundy was ahead of his time, it is the Oprafication of America!


Update: It's Friday, 11/20, and the "news" is official. Oprah will leave her daytime talk-show in 2011. What will America do?

Have no fear, the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN), can fill its time with new Oprah shows. Reruns of prior shows. Other time can be filled by Dr. Phil, Dr. Oz, et. al.

Wonder if she'll let James Frey, of a Million Little Pieces, have his own show? 24 hours is tough to fill.

Sunday afternoon

Settled in to Ravens-Bengals early game after Sunday School and Pucillo's Pizza for lunch. Girls playing with friend till Cherub at 4pm.

Problems with caramel

I have fallen off the wagon. Wertz caramel candies. Braces off. Can't stop. Is there a 12 step? Or do I need mouth wired again?

First day, no baseball

105 days to pitchers and catchers (thanks Bruce). Phineas and Ferb. Pecan and Cashew dark turtles from Wertz. Post season no braces night.

Congrats

Congrats to Yankees. Two teams played with intensity and class. Thanks Phils for great season, wild ride! We'll get title 3 in '10.

Tuesday evening

Off night for WS, sleep early. Final countdown for braces, off at 730am. Will have to post before and after pix sometime.

Halloween

Great Trick or Treat night in East Evergreen (pix on Facebook soon). Settled in for Game 2. To quote friend Dave G, must not get excited...

Game 1

Rainy Wednesday. Rainy becoming redundant? Time for sleep deprivation as World Series begins. Go Phils!

Enjoy a blessed Sunday. Rain stopped. Lime on lawn. Tree spikes for fall. Ready for fall, winter, whatever. Dog has right idea.

Now for Monk and Psych! NBC doing bad. USA great shows. I have a solution, switch. Why not?

8th inning unreal. Feliz blew grounder. DPlay booted by Utley. 3 outs? Need to rebound mentally & win next one, or I see changing of guard

Pull Pedro a reaction to Lee in too long in previous round? Game winner on a walk. Phils need to look in mirror.

Phils win! TGIF boys and girls. If going out (homecoming at PSU) dress like it's December not October.

Had to wear hat and overcoat. Hat used to be Indiana Jones, now Agent P on Phineas and Ferb. Harrison Ford, replaced by a platypus.

Kids back to school, mom and dad to work, today after relaxing holiday. Heart attack kids, aka Phillies, advance to NLCS Thursday. Wow!

Great day off. Daphne had good annual vet visit. Girls did excellent bike riding this afternoon. Off to piano with Gwyneth. I love fall.

Change of plans. Dutch Wonderland today. Awesome weather.

Relaxing day for family. Phils game ppd. Baseball needs return of Double Header (day-night for gate). Earflap hats should not be needed.

Enjoying Big Bang Theory. Sheldon training Penny like Pavlov. Go Twins in game 163 Tuesday, then time for MLB playoffs. Predictions?

Rest after busy week. Hope Twins can take AL central today. Three straight playoffs for Phils, wow. Rockies are hot though, I'm scared.

Binghamton. Some trees turning colors higher elevations. Chenango River feeds to Susquehanna. Canoe home?

CBS Monday, laughs. Good news today, braces off November 4. Post ortho aches. Light at end of tunnel.

Relaxing afternoon after church. Planting of grasses yesterday perfect as rains came. Question for day: Can Phils win a game/ hold a lead?

Meatloaf on Monk. Saw commercial that he's on ghost hunters. He may be thinner but he's still gotta eat. Monk excellent.

Great week, enjoying last of Sams Summer Ale. Have a good 1st weekend of fall. Especially PSU fans on way to white out.

Enjoying Grace doing reading for school. Junie B Jones is a hoot. Gwyneth did well practicing piano earlier. Hope it shows tomorrow Carrie.

It feels weird turning on TV and seeing Pedro Martinez in a Phils uni. They had guts to sit Moyer, how about Lidge?

Is amazed how awesome Lidge was last year, he's equally dreadful this year. If Phils make playoffs, it won't be long unless he gets going.
