Ruminations of an ex-Oregonian

I did not have a lot going on yesterday so I started getting the Christmas lights up, seeing as how it was dry and calm in the afternoon.  I managed to get most of the lights along the house up.  Some of it involves being on the roof, and it’s always best to do that when it is dry.  I ran out of clips, so I will need to get some more.  Of course, the lights will not get turned on until the day after Thanksgiving.  My lack of grinchiness this year does not go that far!

Speaking of the grinch, I have managed to keep my annual humbug somewhat under control.  I think a lot of that is because I have not gone shopping much and haven’t paid attention to the Christmas displays that always seem to pop up in August.  Maybe I will manage to get through the season without being a Scrooge.  Yeah right.
