**{{{{{{Baker}}}}}** I can sympathize with your mother; ekemom has had the same migraine headache for the last 5 1/2 years. It has never gone away entirely, although some days are better than others, for certain definitions of the word “better”. Karaoke date went okay, although eke-sorta-gf stated in church (in front of ekemom and ekepastor) that “ekedolphin and I aren’t even together; we’re just friends.” That made me a little sad. But at least I know where it stands. Besides, I think I have a decent claim to being her [statistically significant other](https://xkcd.com/539/). I butchered-- I mean, _sang–_ four songs at Karaoke tonight. “Skyfall” by Adele was sung an octave lower than Adele, which in retrospect was probably a bad decision on my part. “Running With the Night” by Lionel Richie was halfway decent, but the timing on the song was different than in the single-- by which I mean, the introduction and the interludes weren’t as long, so they threw me off. “You Don’t Love Me Anymore” by “Weird Al” Yankovic was an unqualified success. And I did very well with “Cheeseburger in Paradise” by Jimmy Buffett. I sang “Cheeseburger” shortly after eating the Karaoke place’s cheeseburger, which was pretty good. I like _mine_ with onion, mayo, cheese, meat and bun, and nothing else, though. Big Kosher pickle and a cold draft beer? Good God Almighty, which way do I steer to get _away_ from those two things?! eke-sorta-gf was gonna do “Comfortably Numb” by Pink Floyd, but she (by her own admission) chickened out. Oh, well. On the way back home I told eke-sorta-gf that ekemom and I are planning to go see _Star Wars_ on Mom’s next paycheck; would she like to come? She gave this “WHOA~!” face and enthusiastically agreed. Now that movie BETTER be good. I also introduced eke-sorta-gf to one of my favorite musical artists, Tim Minchin. I played for her “Lullaby” (which she thought was HILARIOUS, having a child of her own), “If I Didn’t Have You”, “Confessions” (sample lyric: “Fuck, I love boobs, though!”), “You Grew On Me” and “Drowned”. ---

ekesister’s Christmas present is arriving here (at my home) on Friday. It’s a 32 GB USB flash drive. The reason I had it shipped here, and not to Nevada, is that I’m gonna load part of up with some fun stuff I know ekesister will enjoy. For example, my video game emulators and ROMs for NES, Genesis, SNES, Master System and Game Boy. I’ll also load on there the screenplays for the complete _Star Trek: The Next Generation_ and _Deep Space Nine_ series, as well as a few other things if I can think of other stuff she may enjoy. Then the flash drive gets boxed and shipped to Nevada. ekemom bought herself a Kindle Fire to replace the second-generation Kindle that has finally, at long last, outlived its usefulness. ---

Hey everyone, I am jumping in here to say that I have been lax and I need to grab a Monday to fill all y’all in, with photos. When is the next available Monday? ---

Home from the armpit. Traffic sucked on the way down, not so bad on the way home. We had roast beast with carrots, corn, N.O.T. and gravy. I slept almost the whole time we were there, Sah-son and my mother had a good political talk. I didn’t irk at all this weekend. Between that and taking Wednesday off, I will cry when I see my next paycheck. ---

I was busy filling our Christmas cards, watching some football, and having some heritage-breed pork chops. And besides — being snarky on **Mooom** isn’t nearly as high on my list as being snarky on **Plant**. Priorities, man ---- priorities! 😉 ---
