Does anyone else out there think it’s bizarre that here we are Christmas Day 2012 and so far today I heard about four flocks of geese flying south? Weren’t they supposed to have done this already?

Ayden dreamed of a white Christmas and got one.. With reindeer poop to boot
It was Ayden’s second Christmas—and first white one..He hardly slept, with excitement about the snow along with the possibility that Santa was about to eat a chocolate chip cookie..
Fun memories.
I hope you and yours had an equally beautiful time last night and today.
Christmas almost done.
My God so is 2012..
Since we don’t know where times goes, may as well enjoy while we have it.
He got it this year. Really ‘got it’.. knew about Santa Claus. He even believed that Santa’s reindeer took a ‘poop’ on our front yard.
For a soon to be two year old, the gift opening session went pretty well.He barely wanted to open more after a few books he liked were opened first..
We kept it minimal this year. On purpose.
Kids can be spoiled quickly. Right now, with Ayden being our only son, he is spoiled simply by default.
But there is nothing wrong with that..
It’s amazing to see innocence in the eyes of a child. Eyes that have not seen horrors or ravages of this planet. That is precisely why images of children who see those horrors make me intensely sad sometimes around this time of year.
Ayden Morris, you did well. Cheers to another year coming. Your third Christmas will be only better.
Merry Christmas to all out there. And to all a good night.

We are going from a warm December.. to a frightfully cold period of time. Along with numerous chances for large scale snowstorms.The first tonight —it’s minor. But it will be a white Christmas thanks to it (snow will easily brush off your car).. look for Santa’s sleigh tracks.By the time the ball drops on 2013, we may be sick of snow already..

Big protests continue in India; government tries to crack down
There is so much anger in New Delhi that big protests are continuing in the city..
CNN reports:
Saturday’s demonstration was prompted by public outrage over what police said was the gang-rape and beating of a 23-year-old woman on a moving bus in the capital on December 16.
Authorities haven’t released the name of the rape victim, but protesters are calling her “Damini,” which means “lightning” in Hindi.
According to reports, the young victim of the rape had a metal rod inserted in her vagina and she suffered loss of her intestines..
There has been global anger with how Indian officials responded to the incident–such as questioning why she was out past 9pm with a male, ignoring her life threatening damages incurred by the incident..
Developing story.

There are time you need to take news online with a grain of salt. And if it’s from the ONION you should just laugh, and not spread the headlines as though they’re true..
So when I read this SMOKING GUN story about a federal worker who was reprimanded for farting too much, I could not help but first think it was a joke. However, sadly in a way, as the story went on and copies of documents were referenced, it became clear that the Social Security Administration employee from Baltimore, really could not control his flatuence.
But the story of the man gets weirder.. According to a reprimand letter, he created a hostile working environment because of his repeated passages of wind.
And the office co-workers didn’t think grin and bear it.. No, they recorded the times and dates when he flatuated (is that a word?) ..
Now picture your own office, or workplace.. Picture a co-worker next to you breaking wind every half hour or so.. How long until you start keeping “documenation” on all of the times he farted in your space? Well, according to the SMOKING GUN expose, this SSA employee had 17 incidents on September 19, according to records kept by employees. And he even broke wind during a May 18 performance discussion!
There is now a legal fight taking place over the reprimand.. I don’t know how much further the public will be udpated on the farting government worker. But every time I see my social security deduction on future paychecks, I’ll raise a glass and bust an ass. Praise to the farting Social Security Worker! So misunderstood…
