This sounds like New Years

...but with more goat.

The 36-Hour Dinner Party

Floating Island Commune

I can't decide if there is something wrong with this idea but right now outside all the snow melted and Syracuse looks like it was just ejected from the bowels of a creature with amoebic dysentery and I just got back from a beautiful week in the sunshine state so this is looking pretty good...

The Turkey Hut

So...the Logans celebrated Thanksgiving in a good old fashioned redneck way! We cooked the turkey in a garbage can. Yes, that is right. Bill, I am sure you are cringing, but it was cool. Dad did most of it, manning the fire and so on. First there was a blue hut built to keep out the wind. Then there was a stake and something to the catch the grease drippings. Then lots of foil and a 15 lb. turkey. Turn the *CLEAN-BRAND-NEW-NEVER-BEEN-USED-BEFORE(other than burning out the galvanized metals)* garbage can over the the turkey and surround the outside of it with 25 lb. charcoal brickettes. Oh yeah, and LOTS O' lighter fluid (which didn't really catch, so some wood too). And then let it cook. The house lacked the Thanksgiving smells, but the turkey hut was warm and smelled of turkey yumminess. The eats were good, but I think it was more of the act of doing it. What a Thanksgiving to remember!! Please watch the teaser video...

Cool video

Our Netflix list was getting a bit stale but then we were alerted to this video on youtube. It's a neat countdown from 100 to 1 using movie quotes. Around the mid-sixties Bill and I started shouting out the movies as we figured them out. Sadly, Bill decided every movie with Jimmy Stewart was Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, and even got It's a Wonderful Life wrong.

Well, it inspired us to add a bunch of new movies to our queue...well, a bunch of new old movies. Cary Grant is hot.

Great way to pass time at work!!

So I discovered this tonight while on my quest for quilting patterns (more of an obsession)...

I couldn't get it to save my design, but it was fun to create anyway!

Hope everyone is well and fairing in Northeaster! So far it has been heavy snow and lots of rain!

Interesting Photos

Michael found plans for a device that synches your camera to a flash allowing it to take pictures like the one with the bullet piercing the apple. Dad built one and sent me these pictures today.
