I GET MY SECOND CHRISTMAS TREE IN LIFE!
Well, As this is only the second year I have lived away from Home, and Nikki and I second Christmas, we decided to get another REAL tree. (Fake trees DO suck ass, but those fiber optic things are kind of cool) So, Here I am in the middle of BFE Kansas, and there is a Christmas tree lot at least every 2 miles in what ever direction you happen to go from Hutch. So, Nikki and I went to Rayls Tree Farm in Rural Buhler. SO we get there and the Damn place is closed. Well, when I say closed I mean they are not doing full service Cutting, Shaking, and Bailing/ Packing. So you are supposed to Pick, Cut, and carry your own tree. THAT'S ALL PART OF THE EXPERIENCE! I was up for it, plus, payment is on the honor system. So we paid what we thought this scrawny little tree was worth(NOT ALL TREES ARE WORTH 25 Bucks) So I tie the damn thing to my trunk using ratchet ties, (minus the ratchet, they were not big enough) And started home with our tree. Now, by this time, it was cold, and Cole was not happy, and to top it all off, the tree did NOT want to stay on the trunk. So after I stopped twice to tie it back down, we finally got it home. Well, then we had to get the stand on it. Now, I tried to find a pic of the stand on the net, NO LUCK. So I drew one, POORLY! Well, its a solid steal contraption with two metal spikes that you have to DRIVE in to the tree trunk from the bottom. Well after I broke my 7oz hammer, I finally succeeded with a 20 lb sledge! Then to stand the thing up there are ropes on all 4 sides that you tighten or loosen to get the damn thing to stand up straight. The ropes hook to a chain that you wrap 6" up the trunk. Well, I got them all tight, and the tree was no where close to upright. DAMN! SO I realized that the trunk was not CUT level, but rather at an angle. So, I had to buy a saw. (They had provided one at the lot) So First I tried my Ginsu Knife. THOSE BASTARDS LIE! It would not leave hardly a scratch. So I got it cut, Leveled, and finally got to leave it alone at two in the morning. (I went to church choir at 7:00 and left the tree to think about what it had done to deserve this).
MERRY CHRISTMAS, FINALLY!
(Cole and I only broke ONE glass ball while decorating the tree, and it was not even our fault, the thing was faulty I tell you.)

Okay, Sam, FINISH THE STORY..
Well, Finals are over, and All is well. No sign of Eric O. I wonder if his flight was delayed or re-routed. We got 10 inches of snow dumped on hutch, and quite a little bit dumped in Wichita. So I am wondering if his flight in to Mid-Cont. got cancelled yesterday. I am sure I will get a rousing story when he does get home. Well, All went well for us at our Jazz gig for the QB club Thursday, except for the fact that we had a possesed Mic Cord, and everone seemed to already be at home in their minds. We went to Applebees afterwords, Nikki and I dont hang with that group much, but they are really a lot of fun. Enjoyed a GREAT Oreo shake. And Nikki had a VERY dry salad. **Yes salads can be dry** Spent the Day thursday with my mom, holiday Baking, LOTS of food came home with me. Spent Friday with my Older brother Scott. Enjoyed a nice afternoon, until I found out Nikki had gone shopping with her Older Brother, WHOM I HATE! Hes an asshole, but hes Nikkis brother. THe only problem I have with that side of the family, is they still act like I dont get a say in my Wife or son, or where and when they go. I am her husband, and her father, and I only wish to be informed before these people show up at my door, and expect to take my wife and son, no matter what else Nikki and I may have had planned. Well, That is all for this post, I will HAVE to make another to tell you all about the Fiasco I had with my Christmas Tree!

My Cat is Insane another short story
I strolled into my living room, calm as I can be. When standing on my shelf is my cat staring back at me. Broken shards and remnants lay, scattered where she plays. Her meow sounded like a laugh, maniacal and throaty. I glanced in the direction of her gaze, and to my shock and horror, paint brushes and paint were smashed into the

Well,
Looks like I owe Bill a candy bar. For those of you who don't know, I HATE THE PERSON KNOWN ONLY AS Mr. Anon, or anonymous. See the post from Dec. 2nd, the one all in caps, check out the shout outs for a taste of MR. A. So I created a nice portrait of our fine friend, Lit him on fire, and posted him on the Net. That is the explanation in a nut shell. Now, I must depart, no time.
Peace, Love, Happiness to you all.

The quote is from Major League II, now where's my candybar?
On a side note, I just bought that DVD at walmart the other day for $5.88, because I rule.

Well, I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend.
**Lynn will return to his blog after these words from our sponsor** And here is the word. I AM DONE WITH SCHOOL TILL JAN. 17th 2004. I RULE! I KICK ASS! and I am tired and in a lot of pain, I threw a vert. in my neck today, good thing I have an aspiring massuse for a wife. Yeah, I am in bad shape, good thing I have a swivel chair and don't have tunnel vision, or I would not be able to see shit trying to sneak up on me.
Now My deep thought (well not mine, but it still a deep thought)
"A good way to threaten somebody is to light a stick of dynamite. Then you call the guy and hold the burning fuse up to the phone. "Hear that?" you say. "That's dynamite, baby."
Dynamite baby, Oh *tear* that's classic! Shit that's funny! "I love this shit and I may move to England." ( I will mail a candy bar to the person who tells me where that last quote was from.)
