- Rudolph the Paranoid Reindeer
- Stop I’ve Had Enough Christmas Music
- Let Me Clear My Throat At Christmas
- Rudolph Berry Molecular Pattern 5
- Horny Christmas (mature theme warning!)
Update: James gives these a thumbs down.
2commentsDinner date with a woman without children December 8, 2006 9:28 am
Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Cathy, Christmas, Daily Life, Family , 1 comment so farWoohoo! Cathy and I have a date tonight! The grandparents are watching all the children. So what are our plans? Christmas shopping! (after using the gift certificate to P.F. Chang’s that I got for my birthday of course)
Update: I also thought that no restaurant in Knoxville took reservations. P.F. Chang’s will actually take reservations up to a month in advance! The wait was way too long so our evening started with dropping Sarah off for her Church party, shopping, snuck in a dinner at Mimi’s Cafe, more shopping, picking up Sarah, and returning home. It was a fantastic evening.

Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Announcements, Daily Life, Of Interest, Sarah , add a commentAs I drove Sarah to school this morning, I did my morning torture and forced her to listen to NPR. Once again, we found ourselves stunned to hear the announcement of school closings. Sarah contained her excitement and disappointment but I still say she sat up straight in her seat at the prospect. I guess we live in the wrong county.

Joss Whedon said Firefly is no more and we have seen all kinds of drama and hype yet the fan base shows no sign of slowing. Fans have even created their own documentary. How will the series continue on? Look for an announcement today that Firefly will be turned into a MMORPG. Move over World of Warcraft! We have Reavers to fight and smuggling to do!
