Wednesday, December 21, 2011  The Christmas Crazy Flower is
Blooming!!!  Well, it's almost Christmas, and let me tell you,
I'm certainly experiencing my share of Holiday Oy!  I'm never
quite sure what form the family crazy monster will take from

aren't entirely clear to me, it always seems to rear its ugly
head around the holidays.  This year's theme seems to be, "Poor
Cat... she must be broke and suffering." I've been feeling it
coming on for a while now, and recent events seem to confirm my
suspicion.   First there was the door. The storm door on the
side of my house got damaged in the summer hailstorm, and since
the "real" door in that location was a total piece of crap
(hollow core door with a big window that gets so cold in the
winter it feels like you're covering the opening with a
blanket)... anyhow, I decided that since I had to have the storm
door replaced, I'd bite the bullet, upgrade to a security storm
door and  have the real door rep
