Hope Everyone had a Merry Christmas

Christmas has again come and gone for another year. It is amazing how fast it goes by after all the anticipation and planning and traveling. For those who traveled or are still traveling, I hope everything went well/is going well. James, you sir, are a trooper; twelve - fourteen hours in a car with your wife, mother-in-law, and dog. Man, I don't know how you do it. Cece and I can rarely go from Atlanta to Huntsville or Evansville without at least one little argument (the key is traveling late so the wife falls asleep for most of the trip).

I am thankful for the time Cece and I got to spend with James and Jen. You two are truly some of the strongest people I know. I pray for you both often and you are always in our thoughts. I hate that we didn't get a chance to visit with the Lowes (we were very happy to see our Christmas card featuring your three adorable chirren upon our return to Atlanta). The only saving grace there is that I know we will see you in about thirty-four days. I want to see if we can plan a dinner for one of the nights we will be in town. I hope it works with everyone's schedules. Remer...I wish I could have stuck around an extra day to see you brother. I miss you man. We did have a good time Christmas night over at Paige and Chad's house though with Paige and Jenny. They ALWAYS tell their favorite recent Remer stories. Those two absolutely love you (no jokes please) and the tales of your crazy escapades. They giggled and cackled when they told us your Supper Club revelation about not knowing the truth about Santa Claus until you were twelve years old. Good ol' Remer. I can't believe I missed a chance to party with Henley and Joe King as well. That would have been an experience. Phil, I heard about your and Amanda's Christmas present to yourselves and I gotta say...that sounds like the best Christmas present anyone could give themselves. I loved the idea and can't express how happy we are for you. Good luck with the next few months and getting ready for fatherhood. I feel so blessed that I'll have so many good role models as close friends to turn to for advice when the time comes.

Looking forward: we have about 20 or so work days left before the end of our employment. We're currently working out the itinerary for New Zealand and Australia. Any suggestions?

Quote of the Day

"A guy bought his wife a beautiful diamond ring for Christmas. After hearing about this extravagant gift, a friend of his said, ‘I thought she wanted one of those sporty four-wheel-drive vehicles.’ ‘She did,’ he replied. ‘But where was I going to find a fake Land Rover?"

Good wine, great memories

So, last night, after dinner I went downstairs to finish a glass of wine and watch a little TV. Then, for whatever reason, I decided to put in the state championship game against Vestavia. Man, it is fun and painful to watch that now. I only watched the first half, but still, we had no business winning that game. It was definitely a team of destiny. Larry was so silly that game. If you had shown that tape to college coaches I'm thinking scholarships would have been filing in daily.

Well, hope everyone had a good weekend. I spent most of yesterday cleaning since this house is out of control. Jen had an exam, yes, on Saturday, and still has three more to go. We'll both be relieved come Thursday. She hasn't had a real "break" from school since last Christmas after she spent most of her summer getting caught up on Spring semester.

We are pretty much not doing Christmas cards this year, so if you don't get one I hope your feelings aren't hurt. We think about all of you quite often and I look forward to saying Merry Christmas in person. I'm feeling sort of like Ebaneezer this year, no lights, no decorations, well we did go to one Christmas party, but other than that not a lot of Christmas spirit, at least by America's standard.

Larry, do you want to make a tee time for Monday morning at Muni??

This guy knows what he is talking about

Remer has his profile pic

Now when he leaves his once a week response to a post we can see him chugging a cold beer.

SNOW DAY!! That's right, I got the call about 5:45 am this morning letting me know that there would be no school today.

I think I have an idea of everyone's schedule for Christmas except for the Lowe's. Larry, are ya'll around the whole time. Sounds like I'll be picking Jeremy up on Monday sometime from the airport. Should we try and play a round on Monday morning before Boner leaves??

Seriously

Chuck Norris is a badass.

Oldie But a Goodie

Dear Tech Support:
Last year I upgraded from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0. I soon noticed that the new program began unexpected child processing that took up a lot of space and valuable resources. In addition, Wife 1.0 installed itself into all other programs and now monitors all other system activity: applications such as Poker Night 10.3, Football 5.0, Hunting and Fishing 7.5, and Racing 3.6. I can't seem to keep Wife 1.0 in the background while attempting to run my favorite applications. I'm thinking about going back to Girlfriend 7.0, but the uninstall doesn't work on Wife 1.0. Please help!

Thanks,

A Troubled User.
________________________________

Dear Troubled User:
This is a very common problem that men complain about. Many people upgrade from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0, thinking that it is just a Utilities and Entertainment program. Wife 1.0 is an OPERATING SYSTEM and is designed by its Creator to run EVERYTHING!!! It is also impossible to delete Wife 1.0 and to return to Girlfriend 7.0. It is impossible to uninstall, or purge the program files from the system once installed. You cannot go back to Girlfriend 7.0 because Wife 1.0 is designed to not allow this. Look in your Wife 1.0 manual under Warnings-Alimony-Child Support. I recommend that you keep Wife1.0 and work on improving the situation. I suggest installing the background application "Yes Dear" to alleviate software augmentation.The best course of action is to enter the command C APOLOGIZE because ultimately you will have to give the APOLOGIZE command before the system will return to normal anyway. Wife 1.0 is a great program, but it tends to be very high maintenance. Wife 1.0 comes with several support programs, such as Clean and Sweep 3.0, Cook It 1.5 and Do Bills 4.2. However, be very careful how you use these programs. Improper use will cause the system to launch the program Nag Nag 9.5. Once this happens, the only way to improve the performance of Wife 1.0 is to purchase additional software. I recommend Flowers 2.1 and Diamonds 5.0 ! WARNING!!! DO NOT, under any circumstances, install Secretary With Short Skirt 3.3. This application is not supported by Wife 1.0 and will cause irreversible damage to the operating system.

Best of luck,

Welcome to Wisconsin

Just took this pic about 10 minutes ago. I know that deep down there is a part of each of you that wants to get out in 15 degree weather and shovel a little snow. It builds character and makes your back feel like @#$&.
