Merry Christmas to everyone! Its bright and early this Christmas morning. Soon the kids will be awake and it will be time to open the presents. Frankly, I am surprised they slept in this late, but they have never really risen all that early on Christmas morning. They certainly are better sleepers than I was […]

Time to disclose what the Klasens will be having to eat this Christmas holiday season. I have to admit, that I am not planning on spending as much time cooking over the next few days as I have in past seasons. We are all quite in the holiday spirit, but have decided to spend more […]

Tonight was the local Sonoita community Christmas Party. Every year the chamber of commerce puts this fun activity on for our rural community. There’s lots of cowboy gear as the local ranchers come out for a fun night. The evening starts with a couple hours of adults only “quiet” time before the kids show up […]
Vacation Update

Vacation continues to go nicely. I really needed some time off. The last part of the year at work was rough. I still haven’t decided if I am going to go back to work on the 2nd of January or delay until the 7th. I had been thinking the 2nd, but the kids are trying […]
It’s A Wonderful Life – The Alternate Ending
December 15, 2007 by Leave a Comment
Last night, Suzanne and I watched the Christmas classic “It’s A Wonderful Life”. It is a must watch every Christmas season. While watching the movie, Suzanne recalled watching a Saturday night skit where they had an alternate ending of the movie. I had never seen the alternate ending before so we went searching for it […]
Merry Christmas From DirecTV

We got a nice little Christmas present from DirecTV last night. They have begun to broadcast our local TV stations in High Definition. This is a big deal for us because we don’t watch very many TV shows if they are in standard definition any more. It’s just not as enjoyable. Living in the country, […]
A Bad Day For Sue Ellen
December 13, 2007 by Leave a Comment
Yesterday, was not a good day for our dog Sue Ellen. And hence, it wasn;t the best of days for us either. Sue Ellen is a pretty good dog who pretty much stays out of trouble. I think mostly because she is pretty stupid. But, she is great with the kids and doesn’t cause many […]
Why Does Vacation Just Zip By?
December 12, 2007 by Leave a Comment
Wow, the time just flies by when you are on vacation. It hardly seems like its been a week so far, but it has. Luckily, I will still be on vacation for almost another three weeks. The worst part is that it seems like I have accomplished almost nothing of substance done while on vacation. […]
First Day Of My Yearly Xmas Vacation
December 7, 2007 by Leave a Comment
Today, I began my annual Christmas vacation. Inevitably, the year has been very busy and I have a hard time taking vacation. Thus, at the end of the year, I always have a bunch of vacation that I have to take or lose. This year wasn’t any different. I haven’t decided if I will be […]
Christmas Shopping
December 2, 2007 by 2 Comments
I managed to finish up my Christmas shopping this year this weekend. It did take me about an hour on Friday and then another 2 hours on Saturday. That’s probably more shopping than I do in the course of the rest of the year. Of course, I took the easy way out and shopped online. […]
