Merry Post Christmas

I was hoping to get a cherry Christmas post together on or before the 24th but we had a busy holiday. This week I’m taking off work to get it together and tend to my blog-o-sphere.

As I type this I’m enjoying some spicy tobacco I received from my sisters boyfriend. He’s trying to buy his way into the family and he’s off to a good start. Actually I asked Lucille if she knew of a good place to get some fresh stuff and I don’t think she wanted to support my habit herself. Anyway good stuff and if you want to join me for a pipe lets talk.

I enjoyed a great family filled weekend with out any family feuding. Not always the case when you cram a bunch of people into a van and drive off to see the grandparents. On Christmas Day I learned that I’m loosely related to a guy from Pittsburgh who is on track to command the next NASA mission to the moon, Mike Fincke. We are related through my dad’s sister’s husband cousin’s mother (I think). You can read about his exploits in the trib. And watch this video if you haven’t seen it already where Steeler Nation extends beyond our little planet.

Don’t worry I won’t be hitting him up for shuttle rides.

Finally I was given Go from a coworker and I’ve yet to find someone to play with. Anyone want to try a game of “oriental strategy?”
