Watching "That Thing You Do" for about the 3,000th time. It's just one of those movies that if I see it on, I have to stop and watch it. If I'm in a bad mood, it immediately cheers me up.
It's a "video redundancy' movie. I own it on DVD, and yet I sit here, watching it on broadcast. And what's worse...it's in standard def...

Well, I caved. Picked up the Beatles Rock Band Limited Edition. My 10 year old daughter has become a huge Beatles fan, and she screamed when she saw me carry it in. We shoved the furniture to the side, assembled drums, set up mics, got the guitars set up, and we were set. 6 year old son on drums, 10 year old on vocals, 13...

Sounds like a rockin' good time for the whole family.
I'm joking around, but that really does sound like fun.

As birthdays go, this one was OK. Went to church and sang (which made my fans happy), and then we all went out to eat. Had a bit of a struggle figuring out where to go, but finally settled on Chili's. Figuring out where to eat with kids is always a challenge, especially when the only place they can all agree to go eat is...

Lunch at Chili's, followed by lounging around doing next to nothing? And a pretty bad BBC production of The Three Musketeers thrown in for good measure? Sounds a lot better than OK to me.
So last night we had ribs and corn on the cob and potatoes and Dairy Queen ice cream cake and lots of other snacks and then more ribs. We dirtied almost EVERY dish and glass in the cabin.
This morning, I get up and take my shower. When I get out, Shawn, our gay cast member, was back from running an errand and was elbow...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY 
Sigh. Back in the car, another 5 hour trip downstate, to go to my Grandfather's funeral.
But, on the bright side, we'll be able to go to the State Fair while we are down there.
But, on the dark side, we can't go to GenCon. First time in like 20 years that I've missed it.
And, on the additional darker side, I need to have...

YOU ARE FUCKING BRILLIANT!!!!

I got a call Monday night that there was something wrong with the computers at church, and they really needed me to look at it. So I told them I would swing by there before work on Tuesday to check on the servers, and went a different way than I usually do. Completely out of my way. And I had a couple of things slow...

I'm sorry to hear about Joe. But at least you were there to help Elizabeth during the immediate crisis.

Miscellaneous Stuff
So my folks gave us a VERY generous Christmas gift this year of an HDTV. They bought us a Sanyo 42" TV, and we were very excited until I did the research and realized what a colossally bad idea it would be to strap the box to the top of my minivan and drive for about 250 miles. So after checking into shipping it home,...

Mrs. Hentzau is indeed brilliant.
Congratulations on the new TV. And, I would say that this is one of those times when size does matter.
"P.S." There are in fact different versions of HDMI.

Vacation on!!!
I'm off until the end of the year! I have way too many vacation days.
But it shall not be just me lounging around eating bon-bons and looking at nekkid SG pictures, oh no. I am working on cleaning out my gaming room. I spent a long time today staring at the monolith of comic book boxes, and once again had to fight...

I just made the perfect BLT. Thanks to the miracle that is the bacon weave!
Go ahead, google it. Your life will be transformed!

I'd like a BLT sandwich on wheat toast. No mayonnaise, no tomato, and no lettuce. And a cup of coffee. Now all you have to do is hold the toast, bring me the bacon, give me a check for the BLT sandwich, and you haven't broken any rules.
Mmm... bacon.
Mmm... bacon.

The bacon weave sounds like some kind of tasty hairpiece.
Mom and dad made it home from AL last night. They drove. Dad's plane is totaled, but he has it plenty insured, so he can get another one.
Not so sure how I feel about that.
Going to be heading downstate on Wednesday to see them. And deal with my meth dealing trailer living white trash relatives over thanksgiving. Thank god my dad gave up...

If your dad's going to buy a new airplane, maybe he should get one of these.
I figure your mom can ride in the back seat.

Someone is watching out for my parents. And whoever it is, THANK YOU!!!
Mom escaped with bruised ribs. Dad broke his nose. One passenger broke his jaw, the other was unhurt.
