  • One Year Xangaversary

     

     

    My one year Xangaversary came and went yesterday, and I never even noticed.

    Time flies when you're not paying attention, boys and girls.

    Kind of "surprized" I'm still hangin' around.

    I think that has to do not with the quantity, but the quality, of my Xanga friends.

    Thanks guys, it's been a fun year!

    It's been 12 years now (almost 13) since the last new Calvin and Hobbes strip was published.

    I miss 'em, too!

     

    The 3,160th and final strip ran on Sunday, December 31, 1995. It depicted Calvin and Hobbes outside in freshly-fallen snow, reveling in the wonder and excitement of the winter scene. “It’s a magical world, Hobbes, ol’ buddy… Let’s go exploring!” Calvin exclaims as they zoom off on their sled, leaving, according to one critic ten years later, “a hole in the comics page that no strip has been able to fill.”

    After losing the season opener at home, to VMI (111-103), the Cats travel to North Carolina to take on the No.1 ranked Tarheels tonight.

    9PM on ESPN.

    This is going to hurt!

     

    We also managed to lose a very important football game (as far as bowl selection goes) to Vandy over the weekend!

    My world is falling apart.

    Pray for me?

    LOL

     

    I'd better stop and stock up on some cold one's on the way home. I got a feelin' I'm gonna need 'em!

    Been thinking about replacing the 20" LCD TV in the pool room with a 32" Vizio Plasma. WalMart has it at $477 right now.

    Doesn't look like I'll be able to take any vacation time this year, Jack's still not able to come back full time.

    Might as well spend some of that accrued vacation pay on something I enjoy.
