too far to turn back now

"What is the perfect Christmas gift?"

Christmas will come and it will go.
Each year I will be concerned not about how much I am spending but, do I have enough to spend?
That annoys me.

Aside from that I can celebrate. There is much to be thankful for.
I,whether I like it day in and out, have a job that pays my bills. I have friends who are there for me and we yell at each other, give each other hard times, etc. We are there for each other. That's the point.

A woman, who is so much more reasonable than I am, loves me. In daily interactions I'm still surprised. This is all to say that in not feeling to festive this year I am very excited to have our "First Christmas as a married couple!" Which a lot of people insist we enjoy.
It's good that my family is hers and hers is mine.

This just in " the christmas rush is really on"

God bless these fine loves of ours.Keep them close. Our families and friends. The eternal aches and lost loved ones. Thank you Lord for the all and everything.

Yours or Mine?

It's December. Time is just flying right by.
I tore up the carpet, removed the staples, stripped the shit out of that shit, sanded the...all of it, replaced battered stair treads. Still the staircase in our house is not completely finished yet.
The day will come, Lord knows, the day will come!!
I can't wait to post pictures of it.

I am riding consistently through this cold. I felt a little threatened initially but, it really is not as bad as I feared. It seems silly to mention it so often but, I must. It really makes me feel so good. I wish more folks could join me really.
I have yet to be called "crazy" for riding in this weather. But, I know it runs in the family so I can deal with that. If someone said "you know, you're a real ass face for riding a bike in this weather." Well, then we'd have an issue.

So, we have a little rehearsal in New Hope tomorrow for Psalmships gig. Hosted by the Harvie family. Daniel and MaryJo are expecting their first child, a baby boy. I am very excited by this. Nothing is said to be more life changing than the birth of your child. Seeing friends of mine who are with child, it's just such a beautiful thing.
The light that is present is overwhelming.

I will look forward to us having our children together.Or kids will be so fortunate to have such a beautiful, loving mother. They will learn to deal with their father. :)

Moving away from kids to the holidays! Back again? Already?
Yes, and I've felt much more festive in years past. I think I'm due for some ugly holiday sweaters or some shit like that.
Ya dig?

Officially done. One more beer and it's off to bed.
Check back in a month. When the stairs are done, I'm in school, and I might have a song or two. If one or two finds me..
