Well, this is my first blog after Christmas.  I told people not to buy for me, because I wasn't buying for them and they listened.  My friend and his wife bought me a shirt, and my sister loaned me $20 to buy some gas, and that was about it.  But then that was more than I bought for.  Christmas comes at such a bad time, with personal property taxes due, and high heating bills.    But, I try to make up for it the rest of the year.

My nephew's son really made out like a bandit.  He got toys from his side of the family, and his mom's.  He got the movie Ironman, which I would like to see, and Horton Hears a Who, which I'm not sure of.  But, Christmas is for kids, after all.

I check Mindsay virtually every day at home.  I can even blog there, but every thirty to 120 seconds an annoying virus kicks in, which pops up a Vista Virus thing that I can remove with two or three clicks of the mouse, but it is just so irritating.  I might have my sister over to clean it off, but then she will complain about my housekeeping, which isn't as good as in my younger days, but then, I didn't have as much stuff.

I've almost decided just to stay on my disability, and substitute a little.  My application is still at home, and I need to turn it it, because I have lived here almost two years without subbing.  But, of course, that would mean waking up before eleven, or one thirty as today.  But, I could do it.  I just couldn't watch the nightly yuckmeisters such as Leno, Letterman, and Conan every night.

Well, tata for now, Dougie Fresh
