Six more days and I’m home for the holidays!

This year’s events include, but are not limited to:

December 20, my father’s birthday
December 20, our family’s first grandchild due via my older brother, Khyle (with a little help from his wife, Kirstin)
December 21, tentative meeting with the only person left in Ames, Ms. Metzger, assumably at good ole’ Stomping Grounds (pictured)
December 25, Christmas day, duh
December 27, Extended family Christmas, alcohol required

Until then, I’ll enjoy the 70 degree week we’re about to have.

Tumblr dinner group.

One of those is my roommate and two others are my lovers. Why was I not informed of this Tumblr dinner? I’m taking it personally until further notice.

Underwater river 90 feet deep in a cave at Cenote Angelita, Mexico.

Salty ocean water and then an island, fallen leaves, and a freshwater river.

“How did someone who was supposed to change the image of golf end up living in a gated community in Florida and driving his Lincoln into a tree right outside his house? It’s true, golf makes everyone an old white person.”

WHERE IS THE DAMN SNOW

Fri, 04 Dec 2009 14:46:29 -0600

So who else woke up this morning prepared for a blizzard?

If you’re reading this blog and you don’t live in Austin, we central Texans been dutifully performing Snow Patrol for the last week. Every third Tweet and newscast reads: “BEWARE OF ICE ON ROADS!” and “PROTECT BABIES AND PETS!” and such.

You see, we got word a few days ago that Austin might - might - receive morning flurries on Friday, December 4. This elicited the natural Texas response:

PREPARE FOR LOCKDOWN.

“Better bundle up!” I said this morning, carefully layering thermal socks, jeans, camisole, sweater, coat, scarf, and gloves.

“I wonder if I’ll have to use ‘chains’ on my ‘tires?” I thought, like they say in places with real snow.

After securing the cat safely indoors from the no-doubt Antarctica-like conditions outside, I stepped out to Brave The Cold. Scarf wrapped around bottom half of face, glass of water ready to pour on icy, ready-to-crack-at-any-moment windshield, steely determination to hike through my driveway if need be.

And Reader, do you know what I saw?

A JOGGER. Running in shorts.

Not impressed, El Niño. Not impressed.

Morgan Stanley received a $9 billion investment from Mitsubishi UFJ in the fall of 2008 that kept the firm from collapsing. The payment was supposed to be wired electronically, but because it needed to be made on an emergency basis on a holiday, Mitsubishi cut a physical check, perhaps the largest ever written.

Above is a copy of the $9,000,000,000.00 check.

Maybe it’s because we can’t get away from nice weather here in Austin, but this looks perfect right now.

Games people play

I played a fun card game with my young cousins yesterday called Apples to Apples. I won’t explain how it works, except for the first winning hand was played when someone matched up the adjective “sexy” with the word “AIDS”.

Oh, how the kids grow up fast these days.
