Holiday Intermezzo

Here’s a bit of a holiday place-holder post. 

We here at Chuckles Central have been having a lovely holiday.  Christmas morning we made delectible canadian bacon eggles (over easy eggs with melted cheese on a broiled bagel) and then took a relaxing walk at Chrissey Field, where we took these pictures of, respectively, the warming hut, some ripples in still water, and Fort Point (huddled under the south span of the Golden Gate bridge). 

These ones, now, are shots of some of our favorite ornaments, as appearing on our two tiny treelets.  First up: Dog and Frog (pickle, background left).

Next, a traditional ukranian egg and a bathing beauty:

I’ve always had an affinity for this serene fellow:

And finally, this cheerful camper came with a set of soviet - not russian - ornaments we bought from some russians - not soviets - about ten years ago.  The set includes several glass spangles, a vaguely Santa-like personage, and this bulbous geek, whom we have always called “Corn Boy.” C’mon, Cornboy, say hello to the good folks.

Rather than blather, I’ll leave it at that.  We’re leaving soon for Maryland, so I’ll pick up with the brainfarts when I get back.  Happy New Year and all that.  It has been an absolute pleasure spending 2004 with y’all.  Here’s to more in aught-five.
