A Tree Grows in . . .

Lots of wierd stuff lately. Thanksgiving? Fagetaboutit. The Old Guy and Pretty Lady left for two days. Instead of Turkey we got two days of crunchies and water. Put that on the list of things that suck.

They got back Friday and then were gone from 2:00 on Saturday 'till midnight. Seems there was some kind of football game that provided lots of ammunition for family arguments. I overheard that the Old Guy, the younger Pretty Lady, the Old Guy's brother, the older Pretty Lady's sister and brother went to the school with the wierd red color and gold color and the older Pretty Lady, the Old Guy's son and the daughter who's a cat doctor, and the Old Guys parents went to the school with the pretty blue and gold color. Everybody says that the younger Pretty Lady's husband wanted to go to the wierd red and gold color school but couldn't get in . . . so he went to some school far away called Har . . . something or other, that also has a wierd red color.

Then on Sunday everyone left early to go to another football game in San Diego to see some old guy who stayed at our house for 2 months earlier this year. He is a quarterback for another team with wierd red colors, from Kansas City. Anyway, the bottom line is that we got lots of crunchies and water and not much else for 5 days.

Ok, so the absolute wierdest thing? Tonight the Old Guy comes home with a big green bush and drags it into the living room and sticks it on a table. I mean this thing is huge. While he was trying to position it in a stand he had, Pinot and Chow jumped up on the table to help. Chow tried to climb the bush and Pinot attacked it. Me? I didn't want to have anything to do with the bush. It looked like it was going to fall on everyone and the Old Guy kept yelling at it and Pinot and Chow and using naughty words. I stood back and watched. A pretty good show if you ask me. However, once he got it upright the really good stuff started. He pulled out long strings of wire with little bulbs on them. I immediately attacked and tried to run off with them. The Old Guy was trying to put them around the bush while I was trying to eat through the wire. Finally, the Old Guy got the wire on the bush and all of a sudden everything lit up red and green. Wow, there's that red thing again. Anyway, Chow, Pinot and I are wating for the Old Guy to go to bed so we can investigate further. Looks like I won't get much sleep tonight.
