Getting ready to go out in a sailboat and do a little rock fishing. If I catch anything, you can count on seeing pictures of it and hearing about it throughout the upcoming year. If you’re bored today, find out which president looked like Larry Fine on D-Mac’s site or check out the start of Trivia Art’s year in review on Foobooz (he’s up to February), or read about the lovely Ginger’s new Wii. Wow, pretty much all my friends have blogs. That must mean I’m kool.

Here it is, from me to you. Starring me, the lovely Ginger, Trivia Art, Nate from Sofa Kingdom (as cab driver), Palestra Jon and a very special guest star as Clarence. Enjoy, and I have something else special for you coming on Christmas Eve.

Hey gang, I hope you can check back on Christmas Eve, when I will have a very special Donspiracist and a very special Christmas Card for you all. And do me a favor over the holidays: Watch “It’s a Wonderful Life” if you haven’t already. I was surprised to find out this week how many of you have never seen this film. I kicked against watching it for years, but when I finally gave in I discovered it was one of my favorite movies of all time. It takes place at Christmas, but it is hardly a Christmas movie, and I envy those of you who haven’t seen it because you’re gonna get the thrill of watching it for the first time. Trust me on this one, you’re gonna love it, whether you celebrate Christmas or not.
