Quick reminder to all those who (are still here) read this

I suppose the title is misleading, I don't really have anything to remind you all of. Do have some new stuff to let you all in on though.
Currently my parents and little brothers (yes the retarded one and the one with Down's Syndrome) are here. Yay. I do so enjoy family visits. It gives me a reason to get out of the house and to tourist'y things. The funny part is that we haven't done much of anything even though they've been here for a week. Most of what we've done is just cook and eat (that's what the Foley's do best donchaknow) and hang out. The visit has also included a good deal of maintenance and getting ready for the fireworks tents. Most of you folks remember that we work for a week selling fireworks. Its grueling work but its rewarding in its own way. I get to shoot off the random leftovers that don't go back to the warehouse. Yay. As far as Christmas preparations go we're doing fine. Thanks Mom B for the gifts for the girls, they are under the tree and awaiting Christmas day. Santa was kinder to us this year than last. We're actually doing alright. Still in the process of trying to sell our Utah house, but other than that we have the liberty to get and do some nice things for eachother. Last year April got me body wash and gum........yeah, you're probably right, she was trying to tell me something.....how rude. So this year I am getting her some rubber kitchen gloves and a bottle of laundry soap. ha ha.
Funny thing, happened to me the other day and it got me thinking if this is how all wives are. April admitted to looking through the internet browsing history to see if I had ordered her anything online. Not only is that unfair but rather deviously out of character for her, those of you who claim to know her best can back me up on that one. She said to me in not so many words, "I guess I just gave myself away, since now you know I was looking for what you got me". This brings me to the question. Isn't that sort of like reading someone's journal or parusing through their locked treasure chest? Hmmmmmm. Needless to say I covered my tracks well enough she didn't get wind of any possible gift ordering. But the fact that she was 'peaking' through the virtual wrapping paper makes me wonder.
Meanwhile back at the batcave, I want to wish the family(ies) in general a Merry Christmas from the heart. It is at time like these when the pangs of solitude affect us most. The nativity at the barkers with the standard characters and 40 angels with 35 sheep. The complete lack of oxygen in the west wing due to all the singing and laughing. The cleanup crew that wisks through the dishes and empty pop cans from half a million people, games at the Whittingtons where we learn that we're all a little more 'twisted' than we thought, food at home till you can't even lay down because it hurts so bad, yeah that's Christmas for me, and now that we're a quarter world away, please know that even though we won't be there with you in person, we're there in thought and feeling. So eat and laugh and sing and play, and know that no matter what happens to us on this volcanic speck, home for us is where you all are.
Merry Christmas to all and to all a Good (pie) night.
