You Never Miss Something Until it is Gone

My brother drove up to Minnesota this week and is going to be there until around January 6th. Damn I miss my car.

The War on Christmas

I forgot to talk about “The War on Christmas” in my previous post about things that have been bothering me, but that doesn’t mean that it hasn’t been bothering me. No, in fact it has been bothering me a great deal. I just forgot to include it. So here, in all its glory: The War [...]

Merry Christmas from the Halleys

Merry Christmas everyone! Our family has never done a Christmas letter, but I thought it was about time, and since I have this weblog thingy, what better place to try it out? So I hope you enjoy, and if it goes over well, maybe next year I’ll actually mail one out. Phil is really loving [...]

Ghetto Fabulous

Tonight my car gets certifiably ghettofied. How, you ask? Subwoofer in the trunk. Now all I need is whistle tips.
