With all the icky no-sleep sickness going on during the holidays I forgot to mention Christmas. It was a swell ride. I mean, no orlando vacation in my stocking or anything, but I have no complaints. I got all my favorite stuff, including some tasty treats, especially my traditional bag of pistachio nuts. The best part for me was the Christmas Story-esque ruse we played…Hey look, there seems to be one more present back there.

Instead og a BB gun, though, we had a ball of string for the boys to follow down into the basement. At the end of the trail was a shiny new electric guitar with 10 watt amp and junior ludwig 5 piece drum kit. That’s right, I’m getting the band together with my boys. Hey, at 4 and 7 they’re totally ready to rock.

And while they start learning the basics, I have a bad little drum kit to bang on. Sweet.
