Festa dei Sette Pesci 2021!
A new year, a new opportunity, a new menu and a new (and better) person to share this great experience with! Austin’s genuine, ass-kicking Italian bistro L’oca D’oro (The Golden Goose) held up my newish tradition…Feast of the Seven Fishes. … Continue reading

How fitting, we’re seeing A Christmas Carol today
This will be my first time at the Zach Theatre. I’ve lived here for 27 years and never bothered. I’ve been to plays and operas at UT, just not the local theater group. Jennifer has seen this production before so … Continue reading

The 12 days of drinking begins
We’ve all seen and heard of the booze-based advent calendars. Here’s one for the 12 Days of Christmas per the song. Contrary to the McKenzie Brothers’ deductions, I learned through an NPR DJ that these 12 days begin today (12/26 … Continue reading
Christmas 2020 was relatively peaceful today
Although I’m really enjoying divorced life more and more every day, one thing I miss are the combined incomes which let me take this day off, watch a movie at Alamo Drafthouse before joining up with my former spouse to … Continue reading
Why I stopped having a Christmas Tree
In the past when the Maggi Republic existed, there was a plastic one but it doesn’t matter to felines, they have to climb it. After coming home from work, only to find it on the floor half the time…well, that … Continue reading
My first stocking in forever
Jennifer is obviously more into this holiday than I ever could be, other than sending out funny cards and giving gifts. She insisted on me having a stocking for the little odds/ends gifts so I chose a Star Wars theme because … Continue reading
This year’s Christmas tree
Jennifer and her family enjoy Christmas a lot more than I do as you can obviously see. They go through the whole hassle of setting up an actual tree. This is what it looked like before it was decorated. The … Continue reading
Happy Boxing Day!
Also known as the second day of Christmas with that song Bob & Doug McKenzie sang. The always hilarious comedian George Wallace made a great joke/shoutout on Twitter too: Shout out to the six geese a layin’, makin’ sweet bird … Continue reading
This is my equivalent of putting up a tree
I don’t have to worry about any cats trying to climb the tree. It’s portable. It’s easy to put away when the season is over (January 6). I’m also amazed at how the LEGO employee(s) forged the design from dozens … Continue reading
The Guardian‘s Top 50 Christmas Song list
You can check it out at this link. I will warn you, their selections lean toward what the UK is more familiar with. I also give them credit for having the good taste in not listing super awful ones: Paul … Continue reading
Uncle Nick is an acquired taste and my new tradition
Another movie which may or may not have blown through theaters last year but I knew about it courtesy of Posehn’s now gone podcast Nerd Poker. For some, their tradition is Diehard or Gremlins, this one is more my pace. Uncle Nick is about a … Continue reading

Happy Epiphany 2016
Bearing gifts of Gold (really Chuck E Cheese tokens), Frankenstein and Myrrh! This will be as good as it gets in Texas. To modify an old mean ethnic joke I remembered as a kid from the Eighties… How do we … Continue reading
Better late than never I guess
Taken on January 2. Not sure if the Christmas card I sent to Sonia in Switzerland necessarily beat this to my in-laws and nephews. In the end, it wouldn’t have mattered much, they spent the holiday stretch in Denmark. I … Continue reading
Krampus: Rental
An attempt at a Horror Comedy which doesn’t really provide enough of either. It had a few humorous moments commenting on the holiday’s commercialization and redneck relatives. As for the horrifying parts, they don’t have to be covered in splatter … Continue reading
