Hey everyone, it’s December fourth! You know what that means. I can now officially brag about my birthday! Now, this may seem like an odd thing to say, but there is actually a rule in our house about when you can start bragging about your birthday. The reason for this is, apparently when my older brothers were little they would start to brag to their brothers, (and Mom) about their birthdays at least three months in advance. So, Mom made a rule that you had to wait till it was a month away from your birthday to start talking about it. That being said… It’s a month away from my birthday, it’s a month away from my birthday, it’s a month away from my birthday. Okay, now I’m done.

What’s the Difference Between a Crystal Ball and a Disco Ball?
One sounds cool, the other just induces mental images of big-hair and bell-bottom jumpsuits. That’s why we have a Crystal ball.
And yes, it is our living room. Why? Because our house is just that awesome. Time for a crystal gallery!
note: I can’t set these pictures to open in a new tab, but if you’d like them to, just hold the ctrl button when you click them.
The Pouncing Bobcat!
Today Veronica showed me her very first comic book! Maybe Stephen has a replacement. The comic is called the Pouncing Bobcat. 
It depicts what Veronica does in the morning: Jump out of bed, snuggle, eat a peanut butter snack, and eat an Ibis (wait…). Pretty good for a seven year old. Veronica says she would make more comics but she can never keep an idea in her head long enough to write it. Looks like you’re safe for now Stephen.
A Philosophical Thought About not Being Philosophical
I try not to have philosophical conversations/monologues/rants on the Longbow blog. This is in part because I don’t want to bore you, but even more so because my mood is so often reflected in my dialogues (at least to me), and then I look back on old post and think, “Man I was having a bad week.”
I keep making resolves not to expound about my personal thoughts, likes, and philosophies I’m just really bad at keeping them. Like today an exposition against exposition…nailed it.
