I got a revise and resubmit today! Yay!

Bad cough with pain in the ribs. Doctor wasn't concerned about the cough, but ran a bunch of tests to be sure it wasn't the liver or spleen. I've never worried about Frankie's spleen before, the tests kind of threw me for a loop. He's feeling better today with heavy doses of ibuprofen.

Did I miss something on Frankie? Hope he's feeling better by now.

Frankie's spleen checked out OK. It is probably just a pulled muscle.

Aunt Alice is in the hospital overnight after surgery on her left arm from a fall Sunday. She'll be heading home tomorrow morning.

Out power was out this afternoon, why??? It was rain we were having not ice or snow.

Also, I may be getting a dog this Saturday. I'll keep you posted.

I'm in.

the kids or the climbers?

I'll babysit on the 26th!

How does climbing at 2PM on the 26th sound to those interested parties?

High five to ESSO!

In Santiago, Chile!!

I would be interested in climbing. Around the 24th or 26th.

I'm also interested in climbing with permanent residents.

I ask totally ignorant of planned events - is there a morning or evening that might work for those folks interested in climbing?

Yes, I would like to climb at UpperLimits, although I might not be considered quite a passer through. I DO have climbing equipment though!

Atlanta

110' outdoor and 65' indoor, that is some sweet climbing. bozeman's spire tops out at 38'

Any of the passers-through of central IL interested in climbing sometime around the holidays?

12 days until I can watch Kamden and Roman polka!!!!

Daniela sang beautifully again today. She even smiled through the whole
thing. Unfortunately some of the material is copyrighted so we cannot
show it to you.... unless you buy this $30 DVD.

Looks like a good start to the gingerbread house.

Drove up to Utica today to celebrate Susy's birthday. Diane, Susy and I went out for lunch and then went back to Susy's to watch a Christmas movie. Pat stopped by briefly in the afternoon.

It would seem the google app that was displaying the thumbnails for Relho has reached its quota. Hrm.

Very pretty!

Package sent to the Johnsons.

don't worry - it will get better

ugh

I like this playlist, particularly Fiona Apple singing Frosty the Snowman. Merry Christmas.

Yes, MSU looks like the place to be. I didn't look for you in the undie run though.

More Christmas spirit, this time in Dutch: Stille Nacht and Czech: Ticha Noc

and of course, a big crowd pleaser, a rousing bit of:
Pasli ovce Valasi

I don't know what they're saying, but it sure sounds glorious.

Glad you like it taod and great pictures of you in the slide show.

It's beautiful mom! (don't want to spoil it for all the others) Thanks for the milk and cookies and cinnamon rolls too!

Relho automagically inserts html line breaks "<br>" wherever you have returns. This makes it easy for people to enter paragraphs by just hitting return like so...

However, if you're submitting html, you have to make sure you don't have returns in it, otherwise it inserts those tags inside your html.

yes, I tried posting that and "I want a hippoponamus for Christmas" and wasn't successful at either.

I think this was veronica's post:

Christmas seemed so far away given the amount of work I have to do before then. Then I saw that countdown clock, and now it seems so close.

Teacher says a hippo is a vegetarian.
