My first fave this week is my wife. Today she got up early, scraped two inches of snow and ice off the car, drove in 4-wheel-drive to work, worked a full day, managed to get 200 cds copied, Christmas cards printed, and made it to the Opry House where she's meeting her friend Adie to watch the Rockettes. How this woman manages to get it all done is beyond me. And why she likes me is an even greater mystery. I miss you!
My second favorite thing today is college towns. I'm in Lincoln, NE today and you can't beat a good college town for great food, great music, and great shops. Austin is my favorite college town but it's followed closely (and in no particular order) by Nashville, Oxford, MS, Athens, GA, Denton, TX, Columbia, MO, State College, PA, Fayetteville, AR, and Boulder, CO. They're always a tad funkier than most cities and you can always find great coffee, weird people, and cheap food.
And finally, there are few things I look forward to as much as my buddy Dave Barnes' Christmas (or Balumtime-th) YouTube greetings. I'm not even gonna set it up. All you need to know is that he's a wickedly great singer/songwriter with an equally sharp sense of humor.

How can he do all that with a straight face?! Well, without cracking up, I mean. LOL. He is HILARIOUS! I can imagine what happens when the both of you get together. I would die laughing! Thanks for sharing, Randy. Got a great laugh from it. Merry Christmas. Jesus bless you! Laura
