You know you're back in the South when..

You try to explain to your parents what a csa is and your first google search brings up this.

No place like home?

Some food for thought as I embark on my first trip back home in three months.

Song of the Day: Over the Rhine, "Snowed in With You"

Snowed In With You - Over The ...

It's 55 degrees in Seattle today-- but back home it is totally snowing!! Here's to hoping the snow will stop by the time my plane lands on Monday morning but that it won't melt off until after I get a chance to sled with the little bros...

It's the most wonderful time of the year...

I'm almost done mailing out my annual(ish) Christmas CD!

A quick disclaimer: If you don't get a CD from me this year it is not because I don't love you. It is probably because...

A. Lots of you are in college or grad school and because I waited so dang long to mail these things, you won't be at the address I have for you in time to get it before Christmas (this a lame excuse, I know.. but I'm using it anyway so deal with it)

B. I'm going to SEE you in a few days (!!!!!!!) and figure I'll save a stamp and give it to you in person then.

C. I asked you for your address and you never sent it to me.

D. You're a scrooge and I know you don't like Christmas music anyway.


If you don't fit into one of those categories, I'm truly sorry. I have failed as a friend and you can cut me out of your life forever if you want. Or you could just go ahead and listen to the Christmas mix here (I'd say that's a better option...)

Joy to the World!: Christmas 2...

Wait, seriously!?

I think this would be funnier if these people weren't legit.

Still, I may or may not have just peed myself a little.
