Three things I like about Debs Park:
- There’s always a birthday party set up at 8 a.m. on Saturday,
- There’s always evidence of a recent paint ball game, and
- There are always huge people getting out of huge pickup trucks with tiny yappy dogs.

Three Things
17 DecAtypical
9 DecWhile my family does the traditional holiday tamaleada, I have an atypical role–I’m banished from the kitchen. Apparently, I’m more hindrance than help. That’s saying something.
Holiday Fouls
8 DecMy sister loves to sing. She loves to sing, but admittedly has very little talent in this department. Despite this shortcoming, she loves Christmas because caroling is for all. She belts at the top of he lungs every “hallelujah,” every “Silent Night,” every “partridge in a pear tree.”
The height of her holiday ecstasy is Handel’s Messiah Sing-A-Long. The public event is inviting, and accepting, of all.
Imagine her surprise when one year she was told to shut up because she wasn’t very good.
This season, give a gift, and let all sing along.
‘Tis the Season–for Holiday Crazy
7 DecFriend 1: My wife set up the Mr. and Mrs. Frosty on the front lawn last night. It took her three hours to do it. When she was done, I said “Honey, that’s very nice, but our boys don’t stand outside and look at them from the sidewalk. How about you turn them around and make them face into the window?”
Friend 2: Don’t you think it’s kind of creepy to have them looking in your window?
What Blew In
5 DecWe were lucky enough to lose only one tree and two days of power. The rest of the neighborhood had a lot more downed trees, blown leaves, and toppled fences.
This is my favorite picture from the windstorm. This tree was full of leaves the day before, and was pretty bare the day after. I did always think those leaves made it feel overdressed. This, on the other hand, makes it look . . . um . . . like it’s flashing its fruit. More pictures here.
