hailcezer) arrives from the Big Apple. We are actually semi-prepared for christmas and even considering a holiday to warmer climes in January. All in all things are pretty nice, and job uneasiness aside I think that life has never been better (and we are still in an upward trajectory) I mean live in a beautiful part of the world, my daughter likes Johnny Cash and has started singing Carbon Leaf at the breakfast table. The only thing we are missing is a pony. A proper Shetland pony with wings and a rocket launcher.
We had more people over for dinner and, if you decide to abandon the concept of eating at the dinner table, it was quite cozy. I think we could even manage another 1-2 people in the winter time, we'll see what happens re: American Breakfast for Dinner Party 2007 (mmmm, waffles and french toast). We also managed to squeeze in (due to my pushiness I will admit) a game of Guilliotine and The Big Idea (the highlight of which, for me anyway was the "Non-Stick Battle Angel" the natural competitor to my "Gigantic Cast-Iron Pontiff"), I even startedrethought down the evil evil road of Pinochle. The only downside to the evening was that Rona truly proved herself to be the girl that is not going to miss out, ever, I'll show you how insanely tired and loud I can get. What little I remember of being small was quietly passing out near the adults without such a vigorous and loud fight. So as far as I know she didn't get it from me...
