Christmas surprise for my daugher


My wife Kim & I decided to do something special for our 4 year old daughter on Christmas. At about 10am on Christmas morning we packed her into our car and told her "You're going to Disneyland". We checked into our hotel about 5pm Christmas day and headed to Disneyland at 8am the next day. We lasted a full 10 hours interrupted! What a wonderful time we had.


We've returned home now and are ready to prepare for the new year.


Happy Holidays to one and all!

Jonesin for Tahoe


This is stating the obvious, but I've been a Jones my entire life. And until today, I wasn't sure the proper way to say "Jonesin" for this or that. I think you know what I mean. Somewhere in time "Jonesin" came to mean want or need. "I'm Jonesin for a burger" or "I'm Jonesin for some chocolate", think of your needs and this is how you can use this phrase. It may not be as commonly used as "keeping up with the Joneses" but the phrase is still used. Why don't we ever hear "keeping up with the Smith's"? I ask that because my wife was born a Smith . . . and to think she married a Jones.


My point is this . . . I'm Jonesin for Tahoe/Truckee! How about you?
