Birthday

Yesterday (the 24th) was my birthday (it was also Thanksgiving).

I had Starbucks Sumatra coffee & an apple spice muffin for breakfast. And I drew this:

"Revenge!"

Then at noon it was off to Dad & Ma's for Thanksgiving. Kevin's family (minus Holly, flu) and Sarah's family were there too. Dinner was awesome. We watched the Lions beat the Vikings, and had the birthday stuff for me and Jackie (I gave her $15 in a card). I received handmade cards from all 4 nieces (Georgia even gave me $5!), and $50 & a bag of Starbucks Anniversary Blend beans (plus a mug).

Everyone else left around 4:00, but I stayed and watched the Cowboys beat Washington with Dad, before I left at 8. Home, a giant Kit Kat, and several episodes of "Party Down" on the Starz network. It was a great day.

First Snow

It's been in the 60's all week, but today it fell into the 40's, and then 30's.

It's snowing for the first time ...

Just a dusting, though.

Lazy Thursday

I slept 'til noon for some reason!

It was sunny and 50's outside, but I just watched "Game of Thrones" all day, while Chumble sat either nearby, or scrunched into the big leather chair next to me.

Begin Again

I got up at 7:30 on my day off!

...and I began watching "Game of Thrones" from the beginning.

Election Day 2016

And This is Why...

...I shave my head :Þ

It's about 2 weeks of growth.

It'll be coming off later tonight or tomorrow morning.

Clean shaven head, and goatee only...
