I got this from someone else .
As I sip on my third Irish nog on this cold eve of Christmas, I proclaim to all this night I shall draw a line in the snow, for these violated actions can no longer be tolerated and/or accepted, simply put this will not stand. Even as a child I always felt a little uneasy about the whole notion. However in the last couple decades of my military service, the whole idea has become more and more personal, and a bit more insulting year after year. In my long military career I have learned a specific set of skills, skills that a typical person will never learn. Skills that can ensure the security of oneself, ones group and ones location, not to mention honed skills that can actually be used to track, capture and detain intruders. Yet, to my chagrin and embarrassment, I wake up on a specific morning, year after year, only to learn that a loud fat guy, wearing a red velvet suit, white fur, and shiny long leather black boots, breaks into my home, by-passing my security system, eats my food, drinks my milk and dumps all his unwanted stuff in my living room- All the while as I sleep through the night. Any other night I hear and awaken to every single sound surrounding my home or inside of it. Yet this loud fat guy goes unnoticed every year, how??? This haunts my mind, and insults and downplays my expertise on security matters. I have concluded, since "he" allegedly knows "who's been naughty or nice", "he" should also "know" that "his" actions in my home would cause me great frustration and embarrassment, especially due to me being professionally trained and extremely competent in security matters. He knows my training, what I'm capable of, the certain tools I keep, yet he continues this every year, unafraid, as if taunting. I can only deduce from his tenacity and continuation of these actions that he is calling me out, and challenging me. Why else would he continue these intrusions, knowing my extensive training and experience? Why?? Why? Well, tonight I have unpacked my ghillie suit, trip wire, zip ties and other chosen instruments of my profession. For tonight I regain my dominant foothold in my own home. Fat Man, errand boy, it's on, I am waiting for you this night...though I be the last man standing...I'm your huckleberry - Doc Holiday

I've just learned where this reference came from today. That's a great movie.
Please tell me you've seen that movie before today...
Merry Christmas everyone! It's been a busy late two nights in a row, but everything ran fine in the Keefer house! Happy New Year to everyone!
Belated Merry X-mas everyone. Heather and I returned yesterday from a 5 day X-mas cruise, my first, her 3rd. We had a great time!!! We spent X-mas day in Key West so I was able to visit with friends ( I lived there for 10 years) and show my family around the island. Went from there to Nassau. Five days with no phone or internet!!! If you ever get the urge to go on a cruise I suggest that you pay the extra and get a room with a balcony, it is a game changer!!
Happy New Year to All
