Sweet Ride

Alex and I went to a Christmas party w/ some old P-family friends in Joliet (technically Crest Hill). We let Mrs. P recover a bit @ home….while we missed mom it is always a blast to travel with the boy. We made up this song…

Rudolf the red-butted reindeer
Had a very stinky butt
And if you ever smelled it
You would tape your nostrils shut

All of the other reindeer
Used to laugh and call him names
They always said to Rudolf
You can haul your musty butt away

Then one stinky Christmas Eve
Santa came to say
Rudolf with your butt so red
Get the *BLEEEP away from my *BLEEPIN’ sled

Then all the reindeer smelled him
As they shouted out with fear
Rudolf the red-butted reindeer
Get your stinkin’ *BLEEP the *BLEEEP outta here

Yeah, we’re a coupla Christmas hardcore muthaBLEEPERS

Our old family friends gave Alex a remote control Ferrari. His response?

Alex: “What a sweet ride. I don’t even have a driver’s license.”

Yeah. Pretty cool.

On the subject of sweet, Alex made a candle holder for Kim & I. Perhaps it was originally a jar of baby food or something like that. He even got a little votive candle and put it in for us. He said the way he painted it, there should be some glowing green and blue lights coming off the candle. We lit the candle and let it burn while we watched the Hawks win and the Bulls suck last night.

Almost didn’t make the Townie Christmas party for reasons too gross to go into here. My stomach was killing me. Then about 1am, unable to sleep I got out of bed, drove to the bar and got a delicious glass of whiskey & ice along with a bottle Bud.

Drove Joe and Steener home because of the nasty, nasty rain.

Drove back to Paul’s, hung out late but only drank one more beer. Believe it or not my stomach felt better after a little extra-curricular activity. Better than laying in my bed like an old lump.
