Loose ends

Is there a better vacation than the one you take from a vacation already in progress? Just got back from four days with the grandparents in sunny West Palm Beach FLA and Granny don't rock the wireless so it's been awhile since my last post. It felt good to help Granmama do the things that Florida handymen now find beneath them, what with all the hurricane damage to cash in on. Hard to reach lightbulbs, some timely plumbing, a primer on the AC system in the new car and voila...a feel good family vacation for all.

Now I'm packing for Portland. Leave Saturday afternoon, be there for a couple weeks culminating in a 4-day New Years run in a cabin on top of Mt. Hood with some of the PDX crew. Hot toddies, hot bodies, tater totties...it's gonna be on.

P.S. Animal Boom is the greatest band name ever and I'm officially calling Dibs right now. "You live with raccoons....Animal Boom!"

Disasterous weekend for the fantasy teams too: big money football over and done, basketball team sucks (but The Big Inspector is back). And the team that should be formerly known as the Redskins play Big D at home thisSunday in a must-win on so many levels. National game - let's go!
