I am Natalia's daddy! My latest happenings as well as my lil' girls happenings will be posted here as I live them.

I like to read science fiction, fantasy as well as classics and comics. Always looking for recommendations. Like to play video games and board games. Love to watch old movies and shows, as I find them relaxing and entertaining. Last but not least. like to feed the birds and do some gardening.

Proud to be a US Navy Corpsman veteran and part of the Southwest Region Funeral Honor Guard.

Snow Turkey. Hoorah Changes?

Christmas boxes are up and starting to go through them and decorating around the house. No tree up yet. Cold and wet this weekend and I like it. I picked up Natalia with a little fever and will take care of that here just by relaxing.

Cold and wet and a light dusting of snow overnight. I was hoping for about 4 inches so Natalia can at least play in it, but instead got a dusting and cold temps this morning. Natalia managed to play with a little snow this morning and made the world's first "snow turkey".

Reading has slowed down as I don't find Foundation And Empire very catching, but I'll plow through it.

Economy must be real bad because around work Black Friday is not being hyped up or planned. Normally we plan it out for weeks, have meetings, schedules get done for that day. No meetings, no real schedules. I'm not even working that day. Lots of empty holes on the schedule. I volunteered to work the worse of it but there seemed to be no interest to have people cover the event. Truth is there usually are no good deals and the good deals are so limited it's not worth the hassle. I think this year online retailers may see the shift to them this year. As far as my new position goes, it is going well. Not being pushed outside jobs and doing what I am paid to do. However I am still scheduled in my old dept one day next week which I will question since I took a pay cut to get out of there. I already hear people are being pushed to do my old job and it is not going too well.

I will not dwell in politics again and rather let John and Adam at No Agenda do all the talking. One thing I will say is I don't feel my vote counted, as elections were already called before I even voted and I know I was not alone. I will live the American dream of "Just getting by" for a few more years. One last thing to mention as the picture above may mean - Are us "turkeys, going to be given another snow job?" I know, it's a stretch.

Last but not least Happy Birthday to the United States Marine Corps - Hoorah!
