in every color but blue

As the DI casually saunters up to the entirely fake milestone at 300 posts, I just wanted to take a moment and pass along a genuine word of appreciation to all my readers, because without you people, I'd still be hammering away at this rubbish, but nobody would be reading it.

Thanks for stopping by.
Oh, and happy holidays.

This Christmas: 

(a checklist)

[ ]   Do something outside, regardless of your weather.  

[ ]   Don't make stupid or impossible resolutions. 

[ ]   Get drunk and confess something to a total stranger.
[ ]   Be thankful for your presents. Even the crap ones. 

[ ]   Listen to "Fairytale of New York," by The Pogues. 

[ ]   Sit at the little kids' table for a change. 

[ ]   If you're in love, tell them.

[ ]   Eat fried chicken.
