While my brain has been out to lunch for the holidays (A.K.A. the "Passive Mind" has passed out), here are three photos from the archives of me from Christmas holidays past. Through total dumb luck, I was able to rescue these from the rinds of the computer and share them with you.
(Top left) -- Myself from 1973 with one of those pull toys, called "The Bee Says". The alphabet was on it, and wherever the bee was pointing to when you pulled the string, it announced that letter. I still have it; I took it out this past summer, but it sounded garbled. Where's the 30-year warranty?!
(Top Right) -- Myself in 1977, the last Christmas in the house I first grew up in over in Southgate. You would never see me beaming with more pride than I did here!
(Bottom) -- Of course, pride only goes so far. You've heard of the term "geeked"... well, this was me in 1994 when I received the Beavis & Butthead game for the old Sega Genesis video system (it proved to be too darn hard). This may have been more a sarcastic smile, as my mom wasn't a fan of the show. My dad, however, has turned into something else in that regard and LOVES annoying my stepmom about it.

Right now, I'm awaiting Sheila's arrival, but she's running late. She promises a very good Christmas for me... and that's something I need, what with the money frustrations and all. Hope I can post tomorrow, but if not: MERRY CHRISTMAS!
