Merry Christmas to All

Merry Christmas everyone! I wish all of you a safe and happy holiday season.

I will be taking a bit of a break from my blogging routine to enjoy the holidays. I will post my annual Best and Worst of the Year list next week on Silent Cacophony.

I will resume my regular posting schedule here when school starts back up in January. Until then, peace and warm wishes!

Lots of love,

Chase

Too Busy Picturing...

Graham, a father stands on a ladder to reach the eaves trough of his roof. He needs a bit of help and calls to his neighbor's teenage son. The boy waves and rollerblades away.

Graham says, "Gee, thanks, well, I'd like to help you, sir, but I'm too busy picturing your daughter naked."

Funny scene!

Don't Stop!

"He who stops being better stops being good."

I Must Have Changed

“…and who are you?”

“I—I hardly know, sir, just at present—at least I know who I was when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then.”
