Couldn't agree with you more. "Age does not wither her, nor custom stale her infinite variety..."

Did you ever see Serial Mom? Many people hated it but I loved it and, after reading your last few posts, I think you would like it too.

Brandon and Patirck just went out to see Tomorrow Never Dies. I tried to convinc Pat that he would have much more fun at Mr. Bean, but he didn't believe me. "I want to see Bond, James Bond," he said. So the girls and I are cleaning the house to get it ready for Santa, who visits us tonight at 5pm. How does this miracle occur, you ask? Twenty bucks and an hour in line at the Rec. Dept.will get you a visit on the night of your choice in the week before Christmas. Ain't capitalism grand?

And, as further evidence of my burdgeoning Christmas spirit, I will share with you that I just bought the three wise men (in large plastic form) at Walmart for 30% off. We already own the Holy family, of course, and I was thinking of adding an ox or a camel this year, but when I saw the three wise men on sale, I could not resist.

Hmmm...thread, might this serve to explain the mysterious disappearance of -- what was it -- nineteen gumchewing pubescent babysitters in Southlake back in 1994? The only evidence ever detected being the woeful remnants of various pieces of Wrigley's Spearmint, Doublemint, et al which appeared from time to time in various dumpsters throughout the town. Alas, while the tooth imprints were sufficient to trace them back to their original chewers through painstaking analysis of dental records by the FBI crime labs, never was anyone ever able to track them down to a specific location.

And how, may I ask, how, to explain that sudden spate of barbacoa parties thrown by the Westbrook family during that dark time? And the sudden recent interest in nationwide travel by the Westbrook matron, which correlates all too suspiciously with similar disappearances of female mallrats in New York, Virginia, New Hampshire, Washington D.C. and elsewhere? The sudden re-emergence of that diabolical telltale pattern, the appearance of molar-imprinted gum remnants of the apparent victims in trash receptacles in these very same places?
