YO! Love you friends, new and old!
Greetings to my SG Friends and Neighbors, I hope this finds you well and good.
What did you get up to for the Holidays?
The missus and I spent Christmas Eve with my mother in law. It was hard - my father-in-law died this year, and my mother-in-law has really gone out of her way to avoid us and everyone since. She wasn't much into seeing us for Christmas, but once we showed up I think we all enjoyed ourselves We wound up watching the Walton's Pilot, the movie that became The Waltons tv show (which I have actually never seen) while we ate our traditional Christmas Eve dinner. I am worried about her. We keep asking her to come stay with us for a while, even promised to bite the bullet and get Cable TV so she can catch her shows, but she isn't having it.
I wish for her to be happy, healthy, well, and productive.
We did Christmas Day with my folks and some old friends of ours who were in town. Super hip. I had a great time, really enjoyed the day. My folks are the best, my sister is the best, my wife is the best . . . I am a blessed motherfucker, am I .
Also met my sister's new squeeze, who seems an altogether alright fellow. He's an incorrigible name dropper and my first impression is that he is the kind of mofo who waits to talk rather than listens. But he's cool, and he's over the moon for my sister and seems to treat her well. So cool.
My gift for my wife - a bottle of home made absinth from this dude who makes it here in town - fell through when I couldn't get dude to ever get in touch with me for picking it up. So I faced an utter, utter Gifting Fail when she got me three pairs of pants (which I desperately needed), and she got my little gifts: a pair of sweet popcorn bins for movie night, and a calendar of Goats in Trees (the missus is mad for goats. It's harmless).
Also . . . turned a book in a few weeks ago and finally heard back from the publisher/ principals (I am actually kind of Ghost Writing it for a web celeb. Another first for your ol homeboy Punkinhead!). They were happy with it, and asked for the least/ easiest to fix corrections of any thing I have ever turned in for publication. That's a good goddamn feeling. I actually did all of the corrections except the only kind of major one, and this blog post is my warm up on my way to getting that done and put to bed today.
A ton of bad shit is going on too but I'm gonna leave off it for now. Right here and now I am in a comfortable room in my comfortable house, feeling good and ready to work. I'll write about the bum crap some other time. Or I won't.
So . . . so that's it. Its a good time, a stressful time. I have no money but feel like I'm king of the world. Things are good and everything is a joy, things suck so bad I just want to give up. Life.
And that's it for now. Love!

Pet Report: We put a Jaunty Red Bandanna on Bacchus, and he seems to like wearing it. He looks very dashing with it on. All the cats in the neighborhood love Bacchus, and when I take him out for his walk two or three always come and greet him with touched noses and sniffing. Vindaloo has been a total sweetheart of late, except when she is being the devil herself. I never notice her when I'm asleep but her midnight bed ramble always wakes the missus up. We talk about taking away her bedroom privileges, but nobody really wants to do that to her.
