Jono and I went out to Kevin Ventd’s party lastnight. I got to hang with a few of my homies from highschool church days. We had a great time standing around the fire pit, poking the fire, drinkin’ beer.
A Child’s Christmas In Wales
Here is a poem written and read by Dylan Thomas that my mom and I listened to this Xmas evening (20 min.):
Jono's Shoes
El Doodle Yanqui
I woke up on Xmas morning not to snow, but freezing rain. As the resident fire-builder, I immediately feared we would have no dry wood for a fire, grabbed the closest hat and coat, and went out to bring in the dry stuff at the bottom of the stack. Mom laughed and took my picture, saying I looked like an Hispanic Yankee Doodle.
