Hey Mikey, He Likes It!

Tim Fish Here. Don't you just love watching children? I do. They crack me up and do the coolest things. This is my little grandson, David. He's eating his oatmeal and not wasting any of it. We have visitors to the Fish household this week. We are sure enjoying the grandkids.

So what do you think about all the news this week? Illinois governor trying to sell a senate seat. The federal government trying to bail out the Auto industry. (Without ANY constitutional authority). And then there's me. Buying cool things to give to C. for Christmas. I love buying her things.....She loves me giving her things....We fit each other:)

I Lost an old friend

Tim Fish here. Today around 10:00 a.m. an old friend, who brightened my life and brought light into the lives of others was forever lost. My Surefire flashlight fell 10 floors down an elevator shaft and will no longer shine the light of day into my otherwise dark world. I loved my flashlight and kept it by my side continually for approximately 3 years. It fit nicely into my front left pants pocket and never intruded into my personal life. It was always there when I needed it and always suprised others with its brightness and constant presence. I remember one time in particular when it was dark, and I pushed the black button at the end of it, and then it wasn't dark anymore. It quietly slipped into the abyss without any fanfare. I watched in horror as it tumbled over and over, falling as if in slow motion, the light getting further away and dimmer until its life was forever snuffed out. I mourned throughout the morning, then I went to Champion Firearms and bought another one:)

Shopping Can Be Fun

Tim Fish Here. I DID IT! I Christmas shopped!! I got C. some cool stuff that I look forward to giving her on the pre-appointed day. She will be soooo excited. I can't wait, I can't wait.

We went to see the movie "Australia" Friday night. (That's our normal date night, cause we ARE going Steady) Somehow we walked into the wrong theater and got into the three hour movie after it had been playing for two hours. Oddly enough, the movie still seemed to make perfect sense. After it ended, we realized our faux pas and we decided to stay and watch the whole thing. It is a movie that we both enjoyed and recommend. The part I like about going to the movie is the leftover popcorn I have afterward. I love day old popcorn. Speaking of movies, We've watched 'A Christmas Carol', and 'Scrooge' and we're waiting for 'The Charlie Brown Christmas'. Our Christmas Spirit of off the charts!! Tomorrow night, (Tuesday) is Cynthia's company Christmas Party. I got a cool gift to give to my giftee. I look forward to all the great food the season brings.

Poor C. went to the Dentist today. She got all shot up with novacaine or something and couldn't talk very well. She was pathetic, but I still took my pot shots at her and totally made fun of her. It's what I do. Later...

Santa Claus

Tim Fish here. Santa Claus is a-comin to town!! I do love the Holiday specials on the telly. Tonights special is "The Santa Clause" with Tim Allen (Tim the toolman) Speaking of Tim the tool man.....I AM THAT MAN! Yep, There aren't many tools I don't have, AND I have three sons. (just like the tv guy). woo hoo.

I'm glad that my readers are growing daily. Apparently I need to make a disclaimer. I, Tim Fish have no secrets. Therefore, if you TELL me something, or I SEE something, or HEAR something, I WILL TELL IT TO THE WORLD!!!

Christmas is three weeks away and LET THE GAMES BEGIN!! C. is sneaking around, making secret telephone calls, whispering and using code words. Hmmmm...is she planning something? Personally, I too am sneaking, and with great stealth, secretly shopping. Will she figure it out? Will she discover my plan? Will she, will she? My favorite line from The Addams Family is when Debbie tells Fester (His name means 'to Rot') that she has a present for him and he asks, "Is it....String?" "Is it....a dog toy?" I just can't come up with stuff like that on my own. I only hope that Cynthia doesn't buy me string. (Although I keep asking her if that's what she got me)

And now for something completely different. Thank you Lord for my great wife and our families. During this time of year, help us to think of others and not ourselves.

You're full of beans, and so's your ole man!!!

Tim Fish here, in the middle of "A Christmas Story". Poor Flick has his tongue stuck to the flag pole. Will Ralphie ever get his Red Rider BB gun? His ole man wove a tapestry of obsenities that is still hanging over Lake Michigan. What a great movie. Speaking of great movies.... Following is a video of all the food from Thanksgiving.

Trivia question, what was the name of Scutt Farcass's Toady friend?......Grover Dill. (ta da). I love it when Ralphie's ole man thinks Fragile is Italian. Speaking of mispronouncing words. Last night my wife told me her new name was Crabaye De'Moinyea. Later I learned she meant she had a Crabby Demeaner. Har-D-Har-Har. OOOOO, Ralphie is feeling up his ole man's award!

I went to a Mexican Restaurant for lunch today. Mexican food is o.k. but not my favorite. I tolerate it, cause I know others enjoy it. Then, C. and I got home and needed to go out for supper before church. She chose.....Mexican fooooooddddd. (Mayrtdom) I ordered something I never ordered before, Guacomole Chalupa. It was two tostadas with sour cream, enjoyable enough, but how do you eat it? Fingers? Fork? Spoon? Chop Sticks? I managed to get it down and not make too much of a mess. Then we got home and I had, had, had to make a video of the decorative lighting arrangement I designed and installed on my Shrubberies. I hope you enjoy the beautiful display. Ralphie's ole man worked in profanity like other artists worked in oils, or pastels...

More Thanksgiving Vids

Tim Fish here! I love, love, love watching these videos! C. and I laugh each time. It's just classic t.v.! It's almost as good as re-runs of 'The Office'. I was lying in bed the other night giggling to myself at the concept of putting a co-worker's office supplies in jello! I was trying to think of ways to get cell phones into jello without short circuiting the little gizmos and whirly-gigs inside the cell phone apparatus itself. I digress.... Now for the show....

I could almost actually hear the 'heavenly chorus of angels' singing, as the pies were being made, and then, when Jean gave permission to Cynthia to cut the Cherry pie.....well....there was 'Great Rejoicing'. I can't prove it, but I don't think she's brushed her teeth since then.

And now for something completely different. Thank you Lord for all the cool things you do.

Family Thanksgiving

Tim Fish here. I took several videos during the Thanksgiving Holiday. I will now attempt to share them with whomever views my awesome blog.

I have lots more videos but it seems like it takes FOREVER to download. I will release more as the days go by.

Today I got up late due to something my father-in-law called "Dr. Crockett's Rectum Rockets". I don't know if I got food poisoning, or had the flu. Ruff, Ruff. I got to ride the 'white pony' longer than usual. About 10:00 a.m. I got to work to find that I was missing the annual Christmas party. Don't worry, I made it.

I got home tonight and decoratively, with artistic flair, placed 4 strings of white Christmas lights around the shrubberies in front of the house. Cynthia, (my sweet wife) 'ooohhhed' and 'aahhhed' at my lighting prowess. This is the first time I've ever hung lights outside my home. So far, so good.

Now for something completely different. Thanks God, for all the great things you do.
