  Dec. 11

  Hello. I watch the teevee every day, and I have learned one thing: the commercials on the C&I (Crime and Investigation network) are longer than the shows themselves. Could they please put a stop to the epic commercials? I swear, they take a break in the night's episode of "The First 48" or something, and several dozen minutes later, you know almost everything about the upcoming episode of "Philly"! All right, I'll watch it! I'll watch it! Just stop driving me crazy!

  Whew. On the good side of things, I've been watching Champions League soccer. Today is Arsenal vs. Olympiakos PK. I like the Champions because it gives you a chance to see different teams from all over the place.

  My dog wandered over to say hi, but she'll have to know, I'm out of cookies.

  I finally did get around to watching the new show, "Steven Segal: Lawman." The verdict is... it's not bad. I've only seen one episode so far, and it was kind of weird, but it's interesting to see how he teaches the other officers about aikido, how he catches people on the run and then what he does to relax, such as play in a band. I'm surprised that I had a good time watching this show. I think I'll keep watching the rest.

  That's it for now. Thanks. I'll see you soon.

  

  This is a nice group photo from not too long ago: my parents and Keisha on the couch.

  Hi. This past week, I got an Aluratek wi-fi radio. It works with the wi-fi network in my house, and it can pick up literally tens of thousands of stations around the world. I can listen to any type of music, in a zillion different languages. I love it! And it's a stand-alone radio, so I can leave it on the table next to my bed, without having the computer on at the same time.

  It's almost the end of the year. I've done almost all my Christmas shopping. Every year on Christmas Eve, I try to catch the broadcasts of the choirs from churches around the world. There's St. Paul's in England, a performance from Dublin and the midnight Mass from the Vatican. Of course, there are time zone differences, so I have to look them up.

  I'm trying to catch up on my reading. I was lucky enough to find a good audiobook, which I dubbed off of CDs. When I put the last disc into the computer, it said Disc 92, even though it was only # 12.

  Okay, that's it for now. See you later. Thanks.

  

  I don't have one of these, but I hope to next year.

  Hi, thanks for reading. Can you believe there are only a few weeks left in the year?

  Today I watched a few things-- the "Deadliest Catch" marathon, a movie about Dorothy Day and another about graffiti art. It was cold and windy where I live, so I didn't get to do much, just went to mail some stuff at a shipping center, then went back home to watch TV and play with my dog.

  My pedometer broke! You can see a picture of it below. I don't know why it happened. The screen just went crazy one day. Oh well.

  Hope you and your family had a good Thanksgiving. See you soon.
