BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!

I made the mistake of reading this on my lunch break at work. Good thing I was the only one around, I almost had to change my pants I was laughing so hard.

I really want to incorporate this with the next facts-of-life talk I have with the boys. I'm sure I won't make them squirm. Much. Mwahahahahaha

I like this idea. Think I'll share it with the boys. They're good kids, and they could probably benefit from random moments of innocent rebellion!

Santa Tracker

Are your kids excited? Are you? I am!

Every year after evening church services and before we finally get the boys into bed, we check on Santa's progress here:

http://www.noradsanta.org/en/home.html

The boys are always excited to see how far Santa has travelled and how much closer he's getting to our corner of the world.

If you go to the Kid's Countdown area there's some fun games to play while exploring the North Pole.

Enjoy!

He will never be the same in my eyes...

I'm a child of the 80's... the hair, the music, and the TV. I didn't see Super Dave Osbourne very much (lack of cable TV) but he was still known in our town.

There's a lot I didn't know about this person, he's not just a performer of the Super Dave character, but also a producer and comedy writer, and he was involved with many shows that I did enjoy.

So when I found out there was a radio interview on CBC that was filmed and available on You Tube, I downloaded it to listen to while I putter away. Thought it would be an interesting time filler.

It was interesting all right, just not how I thought it would be. Talk about a shattered image.

Arrogance? Whoa. I was surprised. Maybe he's 'in character' for a new show? No? That's what he's really like? Oh my. Not my kinda thing.

Make your own opinion. If you're a fan of his and don't want me to mess that up for you, that's fine too.
