Deckin the halls

 

Skelly on the Telly!

Freakin Elf

 Last week I played in the pit orchestra for a production of

Elf: The Musical

It is, apparently, based upon the 2003 movie, Elf.
Which until a week go, I'd not ever seen.
I can usually suspend belief a bit for stage shows, 
it is, after all, just a show, and the rules don't really apply.
However, this show has many plot-holes that I couldn't ignore.
So, I present you, a numbered list of every plot-hole
that drove me batty over the course of the run of this production.

Pickles-n-Turkeys-n-Apples

Happy T-Gives, y'all!

Pods and Ends

 

A few things rattling around the ol' noggin.

Plus a bunch of extra pictures.

Halloween 2022

 Another Halloween in the books.

Hobbling Pumpkins

 

The year of the boot.

Why Can't I just Smash Pumpkins like Everyone Else?

 

I've ruined October.

By accident, of course.

Smashing through September

 September was a sleeper.

Started off quiet, ended with a bang.

Southwest Roadtrip - Day 6

 

Last full day of vacay.

Phoenix in August.

Southwest Roadtrip - Day 5

 

Day 5 began in Truth or Consequences, NM.

Photo shoot in the alley by my hotel room.

Roadtrip Southwest - Day 4

Roadtrip Southwest - Day 3

 

Good morning!

The pre-dawn full moon says hello.

I leave Camp Verde early today to make the drive to the Meteor Crater.

I later realized that I could have chosen a hotel more north of Sedona,

instead of south and not have to make myself drive so far in the early morning,

 but every trip has at least one dumb decision, so I guess that was it.

Roadtrip Southwest - Day 2

 Hitting the open road.

Day 2 was a lot of driving through Arizona.

Roadtrip Southwest - Day 1

 

I have returned from my latest vacation.

I covered three states (one new one to add to my 50 states countdown)

Drove well over 1000 miles, two national parks.

A gazillion cactuses and lots of sand.

Bands and a Balloon

 

Welcome to the show!

Dinosaurs, Trees, and Rawwks (I mean Rocks)

 Well Hi there, July!

As we near the end of another month, I find myself behind

on updating the ol' Antelope Range.

This is what's been going on:

The Wheels are Falling Off

Oh my god, is June over yet?!

Everlasting

 

Let the summer gigs begin!

A Small Plot of Land

 

Hello from the other side.

Ready, Set, MOOOOOOVE!

A gazillion forms signed, lots of money changed hands, and I got the keys

to an entire house! 😮

Box City

 

the end is nigh.

In this apartment, I mean.

We're all just glorified hermit crabs

Adventures in moving house.

It's a kind of scene change...

I Survived Mardi Gras 2022

 Mardi like a rawk star!

We did it! Momster and I went to New Orleans and experienced Mardi Gras.

This is how it went down.

February Frivolousness

Getting stuff together for the upcoming days in New Orleans!

Dinosaurs don't really have Big Shoulders

 OY!

Do Snowmen Dream of Snowsheep?

 

Deep in the doldrums of January.

The dreaded Monday of the year.

Trying to pull myself out of a seasonal depression,

a deeper low than the everyday normal depression.
