Well, folks, Christmas shopping is done. Not really. Is it
ever? I still have a few things to get for the Wizzle but they'll be small,
stocking-stuffer type presents because her big one is taken care of already.
She went out and took care of the rest for us yesterday. Sure, on my dime.
Merry Christmas!
None of the yard work is getting done, mostly because of
time constraints. That being said, when I do have a few moments to get out
there, I'd really rather just take a breather and unwind. I do get stuff done
inside, but I love to be outdoors during wintertime. All my bio stats are low,
low, which partly explains, I'm sure, my sluggishness the last few days.
I have a couple new things that I'm loving to mess about
with in my precious few spare moments. The first thing is a chess program I've
wanted for a good decade, and I'm not at all stretching that out. In fact, it's
probably closer to 12 years than 10. I'm finding it's far superior to most I've
messed with, and the engine is just exactly what I've been wanting.
The second thing is a cigar box guitar, given to me by a
good friend this Christmas. It's quickly becoming my go-to, favorite
instrument. It has three strings with two notes and is extremely light and
versatile -- it can even be plugged into an amp! Yes, I've tried that; yes, I
love it. Seriously, folks, if you haven’t heard of these things, Google or
YouTube it really quick. They are downright awesome.

I need fiction in my life. Lately, I haven’t read much, I
haven’t written anything, and I haven’t edited my own last story, something
which desperately needs immediate attention. Going to force myself to fiction
here, pretty soon, else I'll lose touch with reality and drive my Ramcharger
into a shopping mall.
Well, maybe not, but I want to read and write.
