Yes, I’m Sick

Well, this is a bang-up way to start a new year–sick in bed.

Patty’s sick, too, but she hasn’t got what I’ve got.

Once upon a time you called the doctor and he came over and took care of you. I remember that. I swear I didn’t make it up.

It probably won’t be possible to operate this blog today. I hate to lay it all on Byron (he had a big Pick-Up Stix match scheduled) and I think Violet Crepuscular is mad at me. If I suddenly feel better this afternoon, then you’ll see some blogging. My thanks, meanwhile, to the loyal readers who show up anyway. Please feel free to go to town with your comments. Get something started while I’m helpless to prevent it.

By Request, ‘Born on That Day’

We have a hymn request from Susan–Born On That Day, by Matt Maher.

And now I really must get back to bed. I’ve done all I can do down here today.

Carol Contest Winner!

G’day! Lee’s laid out with symptoms way too disgusting to mention, so everything is left up to me, Byron the Quokka.

It falls to me to announce the winner of our second annual Christmas Carol Contest. It’s Joshua [trumpet fanfare]! His carol, I Wonder As I Wander, racked up 21 view the day it was requested.

Now it remains but for Joshua to pick his prize–an autographed copy of one of lee’s books, a red T-shirt that says “If they have to kill us, they’ve lost”… or some little plastic army men. The few plastic army men that have survived the passage of a thousand years have mystified the best minds in Obann.

Guinea Pig Stampede

This is the critter video I would’ve posted for you yesterday if I hadn’t had to go back to bed in the middle of the afternoon.

I’ve never had a guinea pig, but they do seem loveable. This reminds me of that old stock footage of stampeding cattle which has illuminated hundreds of TV and movie Westerns. They didn’t have guinea pig drives back then, did they?
