peek-a-boo!

and there I am again...  

Obama! Woo-hoo!

...riding the Obama wave, oh yeah!

Happy Holidays, belatedly

...from me and all my friends

Well a whole lotta good this stupid blog is going to do me if I never use it.  I just hate blogs that sit there, and I'm one of them...  

... Like most people though.  

I shouldn't hold myself up to such high standards.

I'm in my house in New Hampshire.  It's pretty cold outside, a real arctic freeze these last few days with temperatures getting down to (neg)--10  and  --(neg) teens with windchill.  You have to be wary of frozen pipes when it gets this cold.  That's bad.  

I haven't been outside much.   I just stay in.  My job hasn't started yet, so nothing to do, ... 

I got the "Iron Gym"-total upper-body work out bar.  It's that thing on TV for doing pull-ups in the doorway of your home.   I've always been fascinated by it.  They had it at Kohl's.  I've assembled it.  But "fits all standard size doorways"  doesn't mean our thick, chunky, hundred-year-old wood trim.  So I'll have to get creative, and I ordered an additional bracket accessory thing, in case that helps.  

My dad mailed my guitars to me.  That was nice.  They came in a huge box today, floating in styrofoam peanuts.  I bought new strings and re-stringed one, and tuned them both... though one of them doesn't want to stay in tune...
