Holiday spirit in LA

Ah, the air is crisp and the lights of the season are up. It's nice around here. Nothing makes you feel so festive as when the temperature dips down to the upper 70's! For those not completely clear on the sarcasm here, I LIKE SNOW! It does not bother me. Ergo, I am as unhappy in LA as most are with actual winter. Ever spend too much time in a grocery store? The perpetual florescent lighting kinda messes with you. Well, constant, unchanging sun and heat do the same. I wonder if the locals I see wandering about, unable to speak quickly or be on time to anything, are just over exposed?

In order to try to capture a little of the holiday spirit, Tiff and I went out and got a tree yesterday. Now with our friend staying over and a tree, our shoebox called home is a shade tighter. Still, we love having the both of them to be sure!

In final and most exciting news. I am soon to become an uncle! I got the call this morning from my brother and they are on the way to the hospital to induce labor. I am excited and a bit stunned to be honest. I want to be there but cannot figure out how to fly out to Colorado just 3 weeks before I am flying out to Colorado. Stay tuned, I will be that guy posting pictures ad-naseum when she has arrived!

Hey dude - I feel your pain re: no snow. We're in the supposedly frozen tundra up north, and we've had maybe 1/10" of an inch all season so far. Wah. And it was cold for about 2 weeks and the ice was doing well, but over the weekend it almost hit 50!! WTF?? How are we supposed to play broomball with this nonsense...

Anyway, I forgot to check your blog for a week or two and there are a ton of new posts, awesome! And now I'm subscribed, so I won't miss any more.

Hope you're well, say hey to Tiff.
