Jolly Mon ...

With International Talk Like A Pirate Day just around the corner I thought I would check out some other books by the Pirate born 200 years too late... Jimmy Buffett.

Jimmy has written a children's book called The Jolly Mon based on the song by Jimmy of the same name. The Jolly Mon is about a guy who is gifted with great singing ability and one day finds a magical guitar and is befriended by a dolphin. The Jolly Mon also becomes King. The song is a fun one and if you have the East Hampton 2001 CD there is a story about the song and about how Disney wanted to make the song into a movie. But the caveat was that, "Could The Jolly Mon be white?" To which Jimmy exclaims, "No! Ever seen Bob Marley you Dumbass!" Gotta love corporate suits.

Speaking of corporate suits, I got roped into The Apprentice last night. "The" Bradford was fired for being such a cocky idiot. Granted there were other people who should have been fired before him but he made a fatal error. And it cost him.

Review: Lumibricks Izakaya Building ...

The folks from Lumibricks sent me their latest building set, the Izakaya for free to build and review. Opinions are 100% my own. I've built a few sets from Lumibricks (formerly FunWhole) in the past and they are really fun and interesting. The photo above is of the Izakaya and also The Apartment. they are both part of a Cyberpunk theme called Neoncity. At this time there are also two additional buildings that you can build and add to this whole theme, the Game Stack and the Floating Train Station. The great things about these sets is that they light up. As you build you are also adding lights and wires and ways to illuminate the amazing build. Once you're done building you fire up some power and the lights blaze up. With Neoncity sets you get some incredible Nenon effects light signs and even neon tube lights. That is one of the coolest things about these sets is how the lights are incorporated into the build. Some very innovative bricks were made in order to thread the wiring...

Christmas Tree Is Up ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02510 Yesterday we put up the trees and today we decided to decorate the tree after dinner. Our tree is now mostly our family photo ornaments. We have a bunch of ornaments but with over 20 years of family photo ornaments it look like the predominant ornament type that we'll see. We did get a 2025 Hallmark one as well and I have to select this year's photo. 

2025 Family Ornament ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02515 We put our tree up the other day and I had already bought the 2025 Hallmark Keepsake ornament for our yearly family photo ornament. I love these ornaments on the tree. We have them from 2005 to now.
