baby bowling

Stoneleigh duckpin lanes. This place has been here since before I was born, and I'm pretty sure the last time I came here I was about 8.
My nephew Will has this amazing technique where you lay down after chucking the ball overhead. He beat me.
What is it about bowling alley pizza that is so consistently good? It doesn't matter where you go. Maybe it's just that it's not good.
Uncle Timmy- always the clown.

Tomorrow I am going to Chicago- come snow or shine!

It's viticus, but they call it something else.

Dance party at the Lithuanian hall.
Constantine is in Baltimore...
(The bathroom was the best place to escape the sauna-like effect of sweat and smoke.)
Oh, what fun!

I really am dreaming of a white christmas




Some things that make Christmas merry-
Twinkly lights
BBQ at troy hall
24 hours of A Christmas Story
Christmas cookies
Spiked egg nog
A Charlie Brown Christmas soundtrack
Seeing family members I only see at this time of year
Old ornaments
Gift wrapping (I actually enjoy this task).
And of course, getting presents.

Another night, another dream

That'll be the day.Turns out that was Old Man Nevin's o'douls and Tim stole it. Good thing I blamed it on someone else- Old Man Nevin hates Timmy.

Whoa. Whiplash.
This guy.
Family ties.
Poor kitty, your fur probably smells like cigs. Mew.

Glorious Snow!

betsy said that snow is magic, a good omen.
I don't know about magic, but I can roll with the good omen thing.
My car was pretty well covered. Took a good 20 minutes to scrape that baby off- but it was worth it, because snowflakes, albeit cold, are pretty and snow smells good and makes everything quiet.
After several moons in southern california, i thought that rainboots would suffice in my lack of proper snow boots. I am here to tell you that I was wrong. My feets was freezin.
