rafe is a couple days into keto and BIG ANGY. caleb is on an allergy trip and he is also kinda angy. new year’s eve was great, the movie was okee, and we hope everyone is doing their best so far in 2024.

HIGH LOWS

HOT HOT TOPICS
– caleb needs to rejoin the government as a 2nd job, just to take care of my paperwork. all agencies, he can just come in as a trouble shooter. 90 business days to update one number is excessive
– how often have you actually stuck with your new year’s resolution?
– where’s the other cream of [insert thing] condensed soups? why can’t I find cream of beef, pork, fish.
its always just chicken and mushroom…
– what are the new years traditions for your family? both growing up and current.
– do you sing “auld lang syne” on nye?
– what insane headline will we have this year? predict the craziest event for this year.
– it has been said that even bad pizza is good. to each their own with their pizza topping choices. my biggest concern with “bad pizza” is that it isn’t cooked properly. all too often, the center isn’t cooked right and since you take a bite out of the middle of a pizza first once it is sliced, that first bite can make or break the pizza.
