Christmas Countdown - 2015

[Crown 84]

Good Morning, Everybody!

Grinding it out, we are.
Day by day we draw nearer. Nearer to that coveted goal that is Christmas Season 2015.

Thus, we present today's figures.
(And things are really starting to get interesting.)
Days to the Season:: 10 (SINGLE DIGITS TOMORROW!)
Days to Thanksgiving: 23 (TWO WEEKS from the day after tomorrow!)
Days to Christmas Day: 52 (Now under 7 1/2 weeks remain!)

(Gee. Things are starting to get away from us!)


Well, lots and lots of rain here yesterday. A complete wash-out.
Bound to be drier today and perhaps a tad warmer.
We have started out at 61 post-rain drippy degrees here this morning.


Have a Terrific Tuesday, Folks.
(I will, after the Panther's nail-biter of a win last night!)

OK, Guys. Time's getting short. Two space remain open in our Special Post series.
Any takers??

November 08 - Day 5 before the Season = Edge 612
November 09 - Day 4 before the Season = Binger (?)
November 10 - Day 3 before the Season = Christmasstar
November 11 - Day 2 before the Season -- OPEN --
November 12 - Day 1 before the Season -- OPEN --

I still have a box full of 8-tracks, and a working player (in storage). I wore out three Boston tapes in my mom's Pontiac Catalina!

And we still have a VCR in the living room. A LOT of our family videos are still on VHS. I have to do something about that.

Okay, I came of age during the cassette tape era, so I did not buy 8 tracks, although my dad still had some.
But, it is a universal right of passage for a teen boy to have the car windows rolled down, cruising along on a beautiful day with the stereo blaring "More Than a Feeling."

I'd like November 11th, please.

Good Tuesday morning, my Christmas friends!

I'm still stoked that Star Trek is coming back to TV!!

Thunderstorms and 73° at daylight this morning. Yuck! But it's supposed to clear up tomorrow, I hope.

I had my second-to-last council meeting last night, and it was a busy one. We're having some trouble with a contractor that we've hired, so we're calling him in to explain himself during the next meeting. Rats. I wanted my last meeting to be light and fun, maybe with some reminiscing. Now it's going to be irritating. LOL Oh, well. I hate to leave a mess for the next mayor, so I'll clean it up before I leave.

Voting day! Since no one qualified against the next mayor, we won't have an election in Bellville, but a couple of the other cities in the county have some hotly contested races. It'll be interesting to see the outcome tonight!

I hope y'all have a great day!

Hope the last meeting goes well and congratulations on a job well done! Is this the end of elected office for you?
I say Brad for President 2016!

Good morning everyone. Another busy day at work, but it's job security!

Have a great Tuesday!

Good morning, Ryan!
Hope you have a blessed day ;-)

Yes, I'm out of politics, at least until the kids are grown. Maybe 8 years from now I'll give it another shot, but for now I'm planning to spent as much time with them as I can.

Bradmac in 2023! LOL

Tell me when you launch your bid and I'll donate.

Was it this one?

"A delightful book with captivating illustrations, The Santa Club transitions your child from receiving gifts to experiencing the joy of giving. With sensitivity, faith, and love, The Santa Club tackles the serious question, Is Santa Claus Real? To be read with your child, this wonderful book not only answers that sometimes dreaded question but it also addresses the questions of why Santa comes at Christmas and who was the first Santa. The Santa Club is a wonderful parenting resource and a stunning childrens book, and is sure to become an annual family favorite."

I have it hidden away and ready for my oldest when he questions Santa.

That sounds like the one!

Mr. came up with a wonderful explanation for why you see so many Santa Clauses in different places that are not the real Santa. He says all Santa's helpers wear a uniform, like policemen or firemen do, so everyone will know that they are working for the real Santa. I love that!

It's interesting I've found that most Christmas crazies are married to people who are not. Maybe that saying opposites attract?

Oh, I've already started my Super PAC. Go ahead and send your donations to the "Elect Brad Mayor (and Camaro Restoration) Fund"!
