Christmas Trees and Other Short Circuits
Today is the day that Roosevelt said would “live in infamy”, for me today is the day I took my first Christmas picture of the season. I have a very modest tree, given to me a year ago by my mother. Mom could be famous for the small trees she gives as gifts to nearly anyone who is alone. After my first divorce (I HATE SAYING THAT!!!) she gave me a small artificial tree which I could fully overpower with a single string of lights. About five years into my second marriage I recall tossing that tree out. 
I miss that tree. The current version of my tannenbaum is quite demure, still I’ve placed it prominently on my coffee table. Merry Christmas!
On another subject, the really cool new car stereo I put in my ‘other’ car has been acting a bit strange lately. I had it installed in my 1996 Eagle Vision TSI and a day later purchased my sports car. I was planning on taking the Eagle, equipped with new stereo, and use it on the road trip to Phoenix but it was left behind for the newer, sexier Crossfire. I only mention this because I was gone long enough for the very limited warranty to run out on the installation. On occasion the stereo, in mid-song, will just drop out; it’s annoying but i find if I leave it alone it will mysteriously power up and pick up where it left off. Read the rest of this entry »
