Become the King you really are.

After a long several days away on the Henley Christmas Family Tour it was once again time to return to our best friend, the TiVo. The Christmas season seems to be discouraging new episodes of almost every show. Our choices were to dip back into the ever-plentiful Seinfeld folder or we could finish watching NBC's: The Sing Off, we chose the latter.

In case you don't know, The Sing Off is NBC's response to FOX's American Idol and Glee. It's a good show, but it's two damn hours long! You'll see the groups practicing, performing, being critiqued, and eliminated. One invests a lot of time to watch a series composed of two hour shows.... but not if you're a king. The TiVo has given us something that the non-DVR crowd doesn't get to enjoy, the credentials matching those of a king. If someone starts spewing diarrhea from the mouth, you wave your magic wand and "Bloup-bloup" they vanish. When that skinny girl from the Pussycat Dolls starting babbling, we wave our magic wand and "Bloup-bloup" she is gone. When the contestants are in rehearsal trying to demonstrate to the camera how sincere their musical aspirations are, "Bloup-bloup" gone!

To all the other kings out there, I write to you all urging you, do not limit your powers only to commercial breaks, wave your magic at all of the unworthy peasants!

Snow Adventure

It's been a long time since we've had this kind of snow, so I ventured out:

At first is was pretty and enjoyable, but then I got tired and went back home.

Our gazebo has collapsed :( Oops.

...

and again here is a video of the dogs taking a romp in the snow:

Happy Snow Day

This morning I laid in bed as long as I could this morning. Alas, like all mornings it is my duty to let the dogs out. I love the puppies, I love the snow, but let me ease into it next time.

Henley Brothers' A Christmas Carol

I just reposted the famous Henley Brothers' A Christmas Carol in higher quality. About three years ago my brother and I finally completed our version of A Christmas Carol. We started it when I was about 12 and just never finished it, but continuity be damned, we finished it, and it's glorious.

Merry Christmas.

Proving Santa to Kids

Remember back when you were little and all it took was a few cookie crumbs to convince you that Santa came to your house? It was no problem to believe a giant fat magical man entered your house each year to deliver gifts which were conveniently wrapped in your parents wrapping paper.
