Firstus. Happy Birthday Kader Gator! My second son, Kade Alan is 4 today! The monumental mixture of emotions chokes me up mentally. Kade is off charts for his size, he is maybe 1/2" shorter than his 5+ year old brother, although notably skinnier. He has a forceful will and hurricaneFontrollhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06674125850876983565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3059799.post-867476352002-12-31T08:18:00.000-06:002002-12-31T08:18:41.226-06:00OK, we're home again. The holidays are pretty much over. We can all just chill the hell out.
I had a good weekend. We went to Chaska to see and stay with Kari. 'Twas very nice, lots of good food and laughing and stuff. A few more presents, some Oscar time, all is good.

Remember that Christmas is about one thing. The birth of a child whose destiny was to die painfully for us. To sacrifice himself for our salvation if we choose it. The presents represent those presents brought to him by foriegn kings that saw his star as foretold in prophesy. They brought them to him 2 years after his birth, in exile in Egypt.

I'm suffering a serious schizo thing about Christmas right now.
The good:
My kids, my wife, my family. I love 'em. Close friends. Ditto. I can't wait to see my kids opening gifts on Christmas morning. Excitement, happiness etc. My boys have eyes that will light up.

Sue McDonalds because people (kids) are getting fat? What the hell happened to common sense in this country? What happened to responsibility for your own actions?

With the impending 10th anniversary I have decided to honor previous promises and regale you with the soaring romantic tale of our wedding day. Keep your hat on.
We had been dating for approximately 8 months. Through the summer where T lived and worked at the Black Hills Playhouse and I lived with my parents and worked for an excavating company (I dig holes, durr!)

Did you vote yet? Can't bitch if you don't vote.
I was surprised by the number of libertarian candidates on todays ballot. I wonder if this marks some kind of trend, an end to the 2 party system. I'm for it I guess, but I like to upset the applecart and am really tired of the partisan buddy-buddy politics. A little random in the mix should freshen things up a bit.

Isn't it funny how you don't notice people getting older when you see them everyday. T's birthday was last Saturday but I can't help but still see her as the girl she was when we met in college. (Hubba Hubba!) I know she's just over 30 and the mother of 3 but she's still my little hotty. Happy Birthday Baby.

I think I found a customer service email and sent off a letter but no reply as of yet. I know I have some big dollar items sitting here and they don't do me any good but I don't know what to do with them. They're pretty specialized I would guess.

Does anyone know anything about General Instruments OmniStar equipment? Why do I ask? Do I use laser/fiber optic equipment? NO. A trucking company that is no longer in business dropped four large boxes off with an order of registers, grilles and diffusers for a large job. There is no way for us to trace this order that I can find and I can't find anything for General Instruments.

I just don't feel like I have much to say of interest and the few who would be interested I'd rather talk to than exchange blog info. There's interaction missing from my life.

Debra Wilson of MAD TV is not as tall as I thought. She also has a great singing voice if she remembers the words. I got to sit next to her at the reception. Another brush with fame for Fontroll.

As a person who once (and still occasionally) considers teaching as a career, this is the sort of thing that boils my ass. Let's all write calm, well worded letters that explain our dissappointment.
