Merry Christmas all! I didn't get any new knives, but did receive a new photo light box from my very thoughtful wife.
Hopefully some better pics will be coming soon.

Wishing a Happy Christmas to everyone on The Porch!

Remember "flash mobs"? Here's an ambitious holiday-themed one that I find amazing; I think anyone, regardless of their religious perspective, can appreciate the performance. That German/Brit Handel guy could write a mean oratorio!!

That would have been a bit of a surprise I imagine! Here's one from Leeds

By coincidence, I have someone from Opera North coming round for a drink later

Cool concert video, Jack; I like how the sun eventually shines on their musical endeavors!
When I walk around town, I'll sometimes sing to myself, but I suppose one person doesn't comprise a "mob". And no one ever seems interested in taking cell phone videos of my singing and walking (except possibly the cops).

MeRrY xMaS!!! (I think that’s how the kids text it…)
My dad asked my son to say grace for dinner. He did his best personal prayer with “Over the lips and past the gums lookout stomach here it comes!” Was quite a moment. Hope you all have a great holiday.
And for the record the latest True Grit was so good I bought the book and read it. Fantastic read even if you have seen both movies. I had no clue it was a bestseller back in the day.

Many years ago my son did something similar. I believe it was, “Rub-a dub dub thanks for the grub…Yay God!” Kids what are you going to do.

I think the whole prayer was; Rub a dub dub, thanks for the grub! Rinky dink dink, thanks for the drink! Yay God!

My Grampa's grace was: Good bread, good meat, good God lets eat.

If not for the Bill's you wouldn't know that football is played in NY.

So true! Last time I checked the other “NY” teams play in NJ…go figure . Of course my beloved SF 49ers now play in Santa Clara.

Could be worse... My beloved Seahawks are imploding.

Pretty sad isn't it!

This life-long Lions fan agrees.
At least the Lions are no longer in danger of losing ALL their games, which was something I worried about a few weeks ago.

And they won't have won enough to endanger their draft picks!
I happened by just before the timeout before the last play. Hey, first and goal and only 4 (?) points down? I'll watch this!
Interception. At least they didn't run it all the way back for another TD.

I've been thinking I need an alox Swiss Army Seven, but I have three of these, which are pretty close. I think the can-opener would substitute for an awl better than the awl would substitute for a can-opener.
