An original work of poetry for you:
Christmas Day is drawing oh-so-near,
It’s the most secretive time of year,
Planning and decorating,
Celebrating and scheming,
Hmm, I think it’s about time for beer.
Now, enjoy the pretty lights! (Make sure you have sound enabled.)
Once, there was a family of 5. Dad, Mom, 3 boys.
One day, Mom was in the back, giving a bath to the youngest boy. The other two boys were in the family room playing the Wii. Seemingly, out of nowhere, the middle boy starts wailing as though he has been the victim of the most unholy injustice known on this planet. This causes the youngest to comment: “Beanbaum hurt Yucas?”. This is not uncommon, it’s a regular thing for brothers to fight. We all know that. The older is bigger and not afraid to get physical with the middle brother.
Mom, pausing to get youngest boy out of the tub before launching the investigation, arrives a short time after the initial wailing has subsided. Unnoticed, she overhears part of the conversation between brothers:
Middle Boy: “I can make the sound whenever I want. I don’t have the face down yet though.”
Luckily, he hasn’t yet learned that only he should have that knowledge: 1. Once Parents realize it, he’ll lose that advantage, and 2. it’ll only get him pounded more often by older brother anyway.
the work, it won’t end.

why so elusive?
My new favorite site, at least for awhile.
(no, I’m not dead or giving up “blogging”, just a bit lazy, and not much worth noting)
From time to time there are stories floating around about people who “found” money owed to them… just like there are hoaxes & scams about companies who will help you find lost or unclaimed money.
This is the real deal for anyone who may think they have “lost” money in Oregon. Check it out–hope you get yours.
What do you think of this…
The (great) guy that setup and handles our phone technology needs has a last name of ‘Tap’. That’s right: Tap.
So, is it purely ironic & just a coincidence?
Do you think he ever struggles with the ethics while setting up phone lines to listen in?
Was it destiny that he became involved with phones?
Perhaps a long-ago ancestor silently listened in to a conversation, and hence the phrase is actually named after him?
Wonder who else I know that has a name suitable to their line of work… ?
