One nice surprise this Season...went to a local racing memorabilia store tonight  and found a diecast 1/24 scale #10 Valvoline Pontiac driven by Johnny Benson for 3 bucks!  Thought it was a mistake until the store owner pointed out that it needed a windshield[he just happenned to have it behind the counter].  I superglued it together, and put it on my DVD cabinet.  it's a really neat piece, the hood opens and the front wheels steer.  It isn't one of those 10 buck cheapies you see at Wal-Mart...no box, but who cares?  It's a display model.


Now, if only trannies were so easy to come by...

I think the same thing while talking to the young professional woman who was once the newborn daughter I held in the delivery room, and how I have to keep reminding myself that my youngest daughter is not a 'bother', no matter how tired or cranky I am.

The joy of seeing children grow up is all to fleeting.

No matter how devilish mine were when they were little, they always looked like little angels when they were asleep, which was never often enough...

Me, either...this might just be a good Christmas after all, though... my best friend's wife got some very good news this week.  Evidently, the cancer was either misdiagnosed[which seems unlikely, given the level of expertise of the doctors involved...], or there was a Christmas Miracle; because the biopsy  showed the tumor to be benign...no cancer at all.  They still need to run some tests to determine just what happenned, but it evidently isn't cancer, at least not at this point.

They went to the hospital expecting the first round of chemotherapy, only to find out she didn't need any.  So, they went to Friday's instead.
