TNOF: The Movie

I was thinking the other day just about how strange TNOF is, how everyone met, the interactions, the connections. It almost should be a movie or an hour-long TV show. We certainly have had out dramatic moments. Of course, we're never lacking comedy. If someone asked me 6 years ago if we would be friends I would have said no way. I mean I loved Sarah and Jessica from the moment I met them. I was completely terrified of Jackie and Beckie. I don't remember what I thought of others. I probably thought they were weird. For me it all started with the GM Card, which is how Jessica and I became friends and then became friends with Sarah and Jackie, who became non-romantic life partners. Jessica went to College with Beckie. Beckie was friends with Mike and Dan and John and Tess, who went to high school with Jessica. Austin and Coronado were in the same fraternity as Mike. Jessica introduced everyone to her friend Julie who married John. My most significant contribution was Jenn who has dated Austin, went to Vegas with Beckie and Jackie and went to Hawai'i with Mike. It's just an odd group and such random connections. In some ways it really plays out like an hour long series, but in reality is too boring for TV, but we've had our moments. We've even had TNOF field trips. We have a gigantic supporting cast of interesting individuals that come and go. We've lost some members. We've gained many more. We even have the weirdest name ever.

I'm just glad that I'm friends with all of you. Happy New Year!

Santa Clause is Coming to Blog

I've noticed this year there are no bell-ringers. I think I've only seen one. Has anyone else noticed?

Tonight is the PD christmas party. Should be fun. It's at the Bier Stube. Some don't like it, but I'm German so maybe I will.

I think all of my shopping is done. Phew. Now I just have to wrap. Fortunately, I LOVE wrapping. I bought some great paper too.

Work and shopping have kept me busy this week. Too busy actually.

Right now there is a guy who has been shouting "Bill, can you hear me?" into one of the apartments on the first floor for five minutes. Clearly Bill can't hear him, but I can. Bill is probably dead or ignoring the guy. The guy seems like he could be the most annoying man on the planet so I'd ignore him too.

Tommorrow is the TNOF party. Yip!

Oh, and the new Harry Potter title is announced. Very mysterious....

I guess that's it.
