Oops, I did it again

Last Sunday I was talking to a running friend about another running friend's injury. She said he was taking acupuncture. So I asked where, in his legs or his back. At least that's what I thought I asked. Turned out I asked if he was injured in his legs or in his fish.

Sakuna = Fish
Senaka = Back

It's always good for a laugh anyway.

Okay, down to business. This afternoon we fly out to Minneapolis and arrive there this morning. Christmas with the Schmidts this week, fly to Houston on Saturday and then on a cruise with the Zellers next week.

Happy Holidays!

Egg Nog

It turns out you can make a rather tasty egg nog in your own kitchen. Who'd have thought? I guess some of you guys that's who. I figured it grew on trees. Anyway my lovely wife whipped me up a batch and I've just about drunk it all down. One question, any problems with those raw eggs? (See poll.) As noted in the comments, it happens frequently over here but hey, they have chicken sushi too so raw foods don't seem to bother anybody.

Woo hoo, we get our Christmas this Saturday. Woo hoo!

Poll Winners and Christmas

Well, Cole's favorite thing was his new basketball shoes. Congratulations to those who picked it and thank you to all who voted. I'll get a new poll up soon. Cole's shoes have "JORDNN" written on them but I think that was a typo. I really think they are the authentic brand. Kaori doesn't get a poll because she picked about five favorites, the Great Wall, the alpine slide, the rickshaw ride, the hotel room etc.

I must vent. Here it is the Christmas season and there is no egg nog at our grocery store. I mean it must be a top holiday seller on the strength of me alone. It is Christmas season right? We are going to parties, the kids' schools have had holiday shows and gatherings. I'm hearing the music and seeing the trees, so where's the nog?
