Turkeys and Cribs

Merry Christmas! I'm on the tail end of my second second day off of the season. Did ya catch that? Anyhow, Christmas dinner was today and there was quite a smorgasboard, let me tell you. Shrimp, Lobster Tail, fresh peppers and carrots and asparagus. I am totally stuffed. I hope everyone at home is eating this well, frankly.
First on my list of life accomplishments: rolling three strikes in a row on the oldest bowling alley in this hemisphere:

As you might imagine for a 40 year old bowling alley that has had little to no maintenance, the lanes are a little unpredictable, but once you get used to the different slopes and slants of each lane, oooh baby, it's sweet. The other folks on the scorecard are the night Jano squad and one significant other.


Also on this week's significant happenings, Nick, Taryn and I won the contest for ballinest janitor closet on station. The prize? 2.5 hours off from work any time we feel like it. It may sound crazy, but I was almost in tears at the sight of it. Here's a carefully crafted panoramic photo of our closet, also known as the J-Crib:

Note the ballin aquarium and custom nameplate on the door. Out of view are several strands of christmas lights, a lavalamp, a pimped-out backpack vaccuum, and a solid gold mop bucket.

Will needs to get a vocabulary! Got your 1st present at the apt. office then Fedex phoned next day to say there was one there marked perishable so office wouldn't accept it. Sarah & I immediately assumed you had sent a penguin. So the bonsai will be named "Penguin". Lovely,thoughtful, delicious gifts! Can't wait to see you. mom
