Couple of Updates ...

Just some random information today.

I just finished listening to Tourist Season on CD. Tourist Season was written by Carl Hiaasen. It was a story about an ex reporter turned private eye and a crazy reporter whom at one time was his mentor. The crazy reporter puts together a group of terrorists to take back South Florida from the tourists. Well it was an entertaining and humorous book, the reader was excellent.

I’ve started a new book to read, I’m finally up to Sahara in the Dirk Pitt series, and if I couldn’t wait for the movie before, guess what I’m gonna have an even harder time waiting now.

I’ve also picked up another book on CD, Ghosts of Everest, The Search for Mallory and Irvine. So far so good, it is the account of a 1999 expedition to Everest to find proof of whether or not George Mallory and Andrew Irvine were the first men to scale Everest in 1924, thirst or so years before the generally accepted first men to scale Everest Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay (My alter ego when I travel with Peter).

I also picked up Cool Hand Luke to watch from the Library but we didn’t get around to watching that yet.

Aunt Candy is doing well, her recovery is progressing and she was in good spirits. Thank you for your thoughts and/or prayers on her behalf. Allison and I visited her last night, we got to see Aunt Millie and Grandma Bennett too.

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...

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.

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.
