I am a bit jaded… I wrote a very clever post only to have it erased.  This is the reason I do not have my own site…

After putting my presents under the family tree I came the realization that we need to move… the dining room is just not big enough for all of our gifts.  We tried to stick to a “limit”.  But asking us to stick to a limit is like asking santa to stop eating cookies… it aint gonna happen.  So if we dont leave the house for a few days, no need to call for help, we are just unwrapping gifts.

Big day today!

Got to pick up Nag n Crank – sure hope they don’t have more travel hassles.

Then it’s off to our favorite little tree stand by the strip joint – a Calabrese family tradition.

Some more shopping – I don’t know if we’ve gotten a certain boy his Red Rider BB Gun, yet.

I know there’s only 4 more shopping days till Christmas, but I’ve got a better countdown. Check out my latest doodad to the right —->>>

Now that he’s seen the bright lights of Broadway, will Boy be bored in our little hamlet of Hamburg? Will he have that first year in college attitude? Will he think he has superior taste in fashion & design?

Be warned, son, we won’t let that happen!

Ever wonder why we wait 35 minutes in the drive-thru to get a coffee from Tim Hortons?  I have a theory – The Canadian goverment is using the donut chain to subversively take over their neighbors to the south (us).

But why, you might ask? Well, did you know that Tim Horton (real name was Miles) was a huge Toronto Mapleleafs hockey star? And later in his career, he was traded to the Buffalo Sabres? It was while playing for the Sabres that he was killed in an auto accident on his way back to Toronto.

The Canadians have never forgiven us for that. Why else was Buffalo, the first stop in their domination of the U.S. coffee market? Hmmm?

Now there have been rumors of special ingredients in their “liquid crack” coffee. Since this is a reputable blog, I won’t speculate on such rumors. But, with the help of Cranks pathology lab, I will prove once and for all, that there is a reason why we keep going back for more of this stuff and it ain’t to roll up and win. More to come…
