2009 was really bad for me…

2000 was pretty mediocre for me too, but everything in between was pretty good for me and mine.

I’m really hoping that 2010 will be better, for the country in general and me in particular.

My best to all of you and yours, may we all have a happy and productive new year.

That last calm day…

It’s open house -4 days which means it’s going to be relatively calm around here, but that is soon going to change.

We have picked up the various foodstuffs (except the braciole meat which I’ll grab on Friday), we are ready for Lasagna, Ham, Chicken Wings, Sauce and braciole (sometimes misspelled as brigole). We have a few rooms that need cleaning (Particularly Danny’s room) but the basic stuff is pretty close.

However dear as my wife is once we get to within 72 hours to the open house event panic starts to settle in. It might not even wait till tomorrow, but very soon we will have to be ready for some extreme cleaning and some serious pressue (and believe me even if we are done we won’t be). It’s not quite Captain Sobel from Band of Brothers but it will be close.

So as the antibiotics go over the hump I’m going to do my best to recuperate because after today it is crunch time.
Other than deep cleaning and my son’s

2nd Day of Christmas, Boxing Day

Had a good time at my mother’s on Christmas Eve, one small snafu on Christmas Day (water overflowed from the tree got some of the books under the tree wet), but other than that is was very pleasant.

The 2nd day of Christmas (Boxing Day) is upon us and the countdown to the open house has begun. Seven days from today the open house will be on.

If you are a friend of mine and didn’t receive an invitation consider yourself invited. If you need a hard copy of one e-mail me or comment on the post.

As before if you are a reader of this blog I offer this challenge, if you can find my house and show up and introduce yourself as a reader you will be admitted and welcome.

…as we’re off to mass and then my mothers for Christmas Eve as always.

May all of you have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Thanks for reading and God Bless you all, every one.
