:: December 13, 2001 - Lampoon Lunch ::

The train was acting crazy this morning. Lots of stopping and starting due to "signal problems" and at a couple of the stops they could not get the doors closed. The rude alarm that sounds to signal the doors closing went off for about 2 minutes. It was making people on board squirm. We finally got into Vancouver with ears ringing. Not being a morning person and having yet had my first coffee of the day at the time, it left me a bit grumpy. I'm okay now though.

PB and, yes, it's true J. Carol and my mother-in-law, Audrey aka Mrs C (not the one from Happy Days - although I did meet Henry Winkler once), made it last summer after a strawberry picking binge. Mrs C will be here from Calgary (home of the Calgary Stampede - yeehaw!) for Christmas soon. Wow! It's coming up fast.

Candy cane. Again. There can only be a few left. Only at Christmas time

Banana.



Smashed kiwi muffin. Maybe hit by a truck. Or in a Crash Test dummy's pocket during a recent seatbelt safety test.



This would be even worse than a lump of coal. Which I will probably get for posting these Santa Physics.



Chevy Chase as Clark Griswold (or Greaseball as his boss calls him) in National Lampoon's Christmas Vacataion. This movie is hilarious! Too many Christmas lights that don't work when anyone else is watching, an incident with a metal sledding saucer, an insane family visting for the holidays and a missing bonus are just a few of the events that make this knee slapper worth watching again. "The rant" (*.mp3 88kb) that Chevy goes on upon finding out his Christmas bonus is considerably less than he thought is the best!
