White Christmas Eve

Mike — Wed, 30 Dec 2009 01:15:30 +0000

It snowed here in Fort Worth on Christmas Eve. I thought, “that’s perfect timing.” Except for the fact the snowstorm turned into a blizzard farther north and west of us.

Merry Christmas everybody!!

Wow whatta year it’s been. I’m collecting my thoughts for the year, but I’m kinda scattered, so it’s taking awhile to get it together. Must be time for coffee.

May the Good Lord Bless us all…

12 Days of Christmas

Mike — Fri, 14 Dec 2007 06:02:15 +0000

Wow we’re already into the Twelve Days of Christmas! Or are we? I used to think it was the 12 days leading UP to Christmas Day, but a little online research has taught me otherwise…

The Twelve Days of Christmas is probably the most misunderstood part of the church year among Christians who are not part of liturgical church traditions… www.cresourcei.org/cy12days.html

The Twelve Days of Christmas and the associated evenings of those twelve days (Twelve-tide) are the festive days beginning the evening of Christmas Day (December 25) through the morning of Epiphany (January 6 . ) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twelve_Days_of_Christmas

Nothing gets me into the holiday spirit more than a great Christmas carol, like this classic…

On the first day of Christmas,
my true love sent to me
A partridge in a pear tree.

Flight Simulator inside Google Earth

OK, I always liked Google Earth. Now webware.com has posted about a cool “easter egg” inside it. Did you know Google Earth has a hidden Flight Simulator? Ctrl-Alt-A enables it on a PC. Then Ctrl-A will activate it.
