I'm gonna be 'round my vegetables // I'm gonna chow down my vegetables // I love you most of all, my favorite vega-table!

How was your X-mas?? I hope jolly St. Nick brought you the cheer, good times all around here. Got to see the fam. unit together and what's this!?, there was no arguing whatsoever this holiday season?? There's a Christmas miracle right there. Got to talk to my Doshi, always good stories to tell, and she somehow brought up a deep-rooted fear that we both shared, concerning a horrifying, terrifying, mask/gloves hidden within the confines of my G-pa's bathroom at their old house. We laughed about how literally it would play mind games with you, knowing that it rest just inside the drawer, almost to the point where you would avoid going in there altogether. Like a Goosebumps book or something, had to be cursed. Simply as this for me: SMiLE by Brian Wilson (of Beach Boys fame) is the best album I've heard in almost 5 years. What else, it's been far too long....hm..ah the Sat. before X-mas, Isaacs, Shannon and I went to the Pistons game, if you saw it you couldn't believe it either, the game, but I mostly couldn't believe how much fun I had play-fighting (Isaacs calls it "flirt-fighting", I'm still living under the possible false pretense that I've never flirted with a lady in my entire life to this point) back and forth with her throughout the night, she actually invited me to help set up the Hanukkah (as opposed to the Menorah, with it's 9 candles, 4 on each side and the center one.....that was an inside joke for her, whom has never been here actually, I'll leave it all the same I guess) / Christmas tree with her fam. but I had to work, so I called in the next day, but then I guess my seat got filled and then there were some other things, but we talked into the snowy night and it was wonderful. I had a snow adventure of my own just a bit ago. I'm so smart, rather than crossing Baldwin to get to the Pier One Imports store for a box for Chris' gift, I park at the fitness center and cross by foot! I mean it's one thing to know that no motor vehicle can kill you (see survival of passenger crash, roll-over crash and the Justin jaywalking adventure of years past) but another to try it in literally 3 feet of snow, you would fall in and could literally crawl underneath the surface, like you were in a trench war or something tunneling under enemy lines I dreamed. I did get the box, and 3 candycane treats for some friends as well!
