I bought a car.

First, a description of the old car, a 2002 beige Buick Regal with 164,000 miles.

I wanted to keep driving it, but the transmission does not cooperate with me anymore. It will let me drive for about 30 seconds at a time. And then it waits until the car is shut off and restarted before it will work again. Since it would lengthen my commute time considerably to drive in that manner, I bought a replacement car while I decided whether to put more money into the Regal.

This being New Year’s Eve and all, I hope you weren’t expecting much of a post.

We don’t have any particular New Year’s Eve plans. Now New Year’s Day, on the other hand, is filled with snacks and college football.

This being Christmas Eve and all, I hope you weren’t expecting much of a post.

We’re doing our gift opening today, so by the time you’re reading this I’m probably going to be in the middle of assembling toys, installing batteries, or helping someone with Lego instructions.

I have dozens of topics and ideas noted as possible blog posts, but today I am just going to phone it in, as they say, and wish everyone a happy labor day.

Happy Labor Day!

I realize that you won’t be reading this until after Labor Day, unless you wait almost a year, or unless you are in a different country and happen to not read this until that day. But whatever. I spent the day doing various house projects and spending time with the family, rather than research and write blog posts.

And we spent some time getting ready for the kids to go back to school.
And getting ready for the start of AWANA.
And getting ready for the start of BSF.
And getting ready for piano lessons to resume.
And so on.

The summer was fairly relaxed as far as schedules go. Now we switch gears and become a little more regimented.

In case you’re wondering, my next house project is finding out where the TV antenna is connected. We haven’t hooked up the TV since we moved and football season is about to start.

Not that there’s much difference, but the intent was Modern Trials of Witches, not Trials of Modern Witches.

Anna Dewdney has used all the rhymes for llama – pajama, mama, drama, etc. – except for Obama. With the inauguration of the new congress that begins the last part of Obama’s term (and the initial bits of new presidential campaigns), I figured it was time for someone to publish the last book of the Llama Llama series.

So here, without further ado, is Llama Llama and Obama:

Happy New Year.

In case you’re wondering, it says “Funny World”.
