*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Welcome to Giggles & Grins! *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
It's been more than three months since the last Giggles. Did you
think I had dropped off the face of the Earth? I'm sorry about that,
but it has been a very busy three or four months. During September and
October I spent every weekend at the Renaissance Festival. I met a few
people but mostly I just played my psaltry and watched the live shows.
My favorites were the Shakespeare Skum and the Bloody Drama Comedy Show.
The first is a shorthand version of Shakespeare and the second is a
medieval improvisational show. Great fun. Then in November my dad and
I participated in the Write a Novel in a Month challenge and we both
wrote over 50,000 words in one month. I wrote more words but he
actually finished his book. I still have several chapters to go and
extensive rewriting to do. This month has been busy with the holidays,
which were a lot of fun, of course. I bought a new car... a 2006 Nissan
XTerra and we almost lost Maverick. He ran away on the 23rd and we
didn't get him back until 11:30 am on Christmas Eve. He is back, safe
and sound, but it was really scary at the time. I decided I was missing
you guys way too much so one of my New Year's resolutions is to manage
my time better so I can finish my book AND still get the Giggles out at
least once a week. I hope your holidays were great and that your New
Year is even better. Enjoy the Giggles!

Today I picked up Grandma Kilby at the airport. She's now at that
age where she doesn't remember. So I said, "Thanks for coming.
Goodbye!"

In New Zealand a dog was sucked into a tornado and then returned ten
hours later. The good news is, he was totally unharmed. The bad news:
They lost his luggage.

This is a fun, free simulation. You have a caveman or cavewoman that
you guide through life. If you're really good, you can evolve into a
Celt.

If you have copious free time, a bit of ambition and a set of power
tools you got for Christmas, this might be the site for you.

Some guy broke into our house last week. He didn't even take the TV.
He just took the remote control. Now he drives by and changes channels
on us.

I was in Iowa and they had four tornadoes in one day. They kept
calling our hotel room and saying, "We have tornadoes coming and we
don't have any basement, so get into your bathtub." No way. I think
I'd rather be dead than be found naked flying around Iowa in a bathttub.

Men and women have always had problems relating. As children, men
were told, "Be a man. Don't cry!" and women were told, "Let it out.
Cry, you'll feel better!" And that's why as adults, women become very
emotional and men become snipers.

Fun Fact of the Day
Baskin Robbins once made ketchup ice cream. This was the only
vegetable flavored ice cream produced.

Useless Trivia
Gerald Ford was the only US president not to have been elected to
either the presidency or the vice presidency.

If a man is as wise as a serpent, he can afford to be as harmless as
a dove.

It could be worse, I could have gone away forever... or would that have
been better. Depends on your perspective, I suppose. ;)
