Here I sit once again in a quiet household, I'm still after watching the West Virginia Mountaineers win the Cactus Bowl 43-42 against Arizona State. Skyler Howard had a career game with 532 Yards Passing and 5 Touchdowns in the win while winning the Game MVP honors.
After a week and a half vacation during the holidays, today is my last day off before returning to work tomorrow. Just going to be a normal day for us including grocery shopping this morning.
The Steelers do play this afternoon and still have a long shot chance of making the playoffs, it would take a win in Cleveland tonight as well as a Jets loss to Buffalo. We were in control of our own destiny until last weeks loss to Baltimore.
I think it's time I relax and get a little sleep before I wake up in a few hours.
Well I hope we all made it through the New Year safe and sound. I've actually taken quite a few days off from blogging with so many pre-written end of the year/New Years blogs that now it's time to start writing again. It was a nice little break, but now I'm back at it.
I'm up early with Fin who is probably going to start reminding me very soon that it is time to eat, but I'm up collecting my thoughts for the day.
We actually took our Christmas Tree down yesterday, so now our household is Christmas free right now. It was a little sad because I had become so accustomed to all the lights including my bubble lights that I loved so much.
For New Years we didn't get into anything, Michelle's back has been very sore the past couple of weeks, yes she went and seen a Doctor and the X-Rays come back good, but she is still in a great deal of pain.
Today we are going to head to Sam's Club and do that shopping as well as watch the Mountaineers play in the Cactus Bowl tonight. The Game starts at 10:30 our time, so it's going to be a later night for me if I don't just record it and watch it when I wake up. I'm not real confident right now that we are going to win, the Big XII hasn't been doing very well during this bowl season.

* Michelle and I took a road trip that covered a few familiar places to us, Hovatters Wildlife Zoo being one of them. We also stopped at Ball's Auctions and found a great deal on a bed for Chad.

* Michelle and I started out on our longest road trip of the year. It started with a trip to Baltimore and ended with us on our cruise ship to Grand Turk, Half Moon Cay and Freeport. I think the entire trip was like 3,600 miles, most of it by sea of course.
* During our cruise, our ship actually had an explosion, but everything was fine.
* We had to put a long time family pet down, Chloe was one pet that I was very attached to, It just got to the point where she was suffering and we couldn't see her suffer anymore. Arguably the hardest I have ever taken to losing a pet, I still miss her to this day as she and I were a couple of buddies. She seemed to always be with me.
* Brad Paisley made a stop in Morgantown to sing Country Roads before the WVU-Maryland Football game.

* I have posted a total of 409 blogs in 2015 including this one, my final one of 2015.
I'm going to write my last regular blog of the year and reflect back to the most meaningful picture to me in 2015. No looking back through 31,000+ pictures to find that lost moment in time, my special moment was very recent and easy to remember.
All I will say is last year at this time I would never have imagined that this picture would ever have been possible. Idiotic family feuds and some other things outside of our control were preventing this picture from ever happening. We tried to make it happen in the Summer time, but we had to photoshop one of us in as we could not all be at the same place at the same time.
These are my siblings, a picture of just the five of us has happened in 1978 for the first time, I think 1989 at my Sister Pam's Wedding, 1999 at our Father's funeral, 2007 at Christmas and I think 2009 at my Niece Amy's wedding and this year at Christmas Eve.
I have put together a collage of the 70's, 80's, 90's 00's and 10's pictures below.
My Goodbye 2015 Blog will post later this morning. See you in 2016
Well I am still on vacation and loving it, I'll return to work on Monday but for now I am just relaxing and enjoying myself for a few days.
I finally have all of my blogs pre-written for the entire year of 2015 and the first one of 2016 ready to go. I finished up my Goodbye 2015 Blog, a Photo Flashback Blog tomorrow morning that will post, a video of our year that will post along with my Goodbye 2015 Blog and to tell you the truth, this is the last blog that I am actually writing for the 2015 year. Everything else has been completed.
I think I am going to surrender the domain Shitzngiggles.com, a lady who is a stay at home mom and her daughter want a domain to play with and see if they can make money on approached me about buying it. I told her as long as she is not a reseller, that she can have the domain at no charge just as long as she's honest about wanting to develop it. I have not done anything with it in years other than renew the ownership of it, so I'm probably going to dump that domain if this scenario plays out as honest.
I hope everyone has had a great week and are looking forward to winding down their 2015.
* Well Monday is over with, time for a Tidbits. =)

* Has everyone came up with their New Years Resolutions yet, my family has started a Private site so that we can share ours and support one another in ours.

Well I almost forgot to write this blog...lol. Like I said I am on vacation this week to burn down a few vacation days before the end of the year. As everyone knows I pre-write my blogs during the week and write live blogs on Weekends.
What to do today, well probably some work on the blog for the rest of the year. I am probably going to do a little bit of work on the Hall family tree to see what I can fill in and add additional information for it. May even do a little long overdue picture scanning that I have put off for a little too long. There are a few things I would like to do this week that I have put off.
Yesterday was a lazy day, but a Sad day. the Pittsburgh Steelers went from controlling their own playoff destiny to laying a big goose egg in losing to Baltimore for the second time this season 17-20. The game may have ended Pittsburgh's post season plans and next week may be the end of the season do to this big disappointment.
Michelle is back to work today after a nice long and relaxing Holiday weekend. I'll try not to bug her too many times today...lol
Here I sit once again in a quiet household, I'm the first one to recover from getting my butt kicked by that dreaded Sandman last night and I'm up watching Hoffa on Netflix and collecting my thoughts for the day. Fin in is up getting into a little mischief as always though.
I'm off of work this week I have a good deal of vacation hours that I have built up and my Boss wants me to burn them down to finish the year up and that started a couple of days before Christmas. It's also a contract thing and they are trying to transition from one contract to another in the next few months. I nor really anyone else has any idea what is going to happen in the next few months. So, I have the next week to relax so to speak.
Today's plan is our typical Sunday grocery shopping and watching a little bit of football this afternoon.
I do have to start putting the finishing touches on a couple of projects associated with my Blog, one being my Goodbye 2015 Blog which is traditionally my last blog post of the year. It's about 95% written and this year I am thinking of closing it out with a video of our year and travels which is also mostly completed. This has been an eventful year for Michelle and I especially with the travel and road trips that we have taken.
Here I sit on a quiet Saturday the day after Christmas morning, the Cats are have been up and playing for a while and I just got up to collect my thoughts for the day and surf around the net a little bit.
I hope everyone had a great Christmas, I know that I did. That once a decade picture I get with all my siblings finally took place on Christmas Eve. It is a very rare occasion that the five of us come together at the same location at the same time, but a little Christmas magic made it all happen this season.
I have to say that the weather has been unseasonably warm this holiday season, not that I am or ever will complain, but our air conditioner has been running the past few days because it has gotten a little stuffy and warm in here. I'm not complaining, I'm just stating that it's Christmas time and my AC is on and I've been wearing shorts.
Today's plans include our Sam's Club Shopping, probably a trip up to the graveyard to see Mick's tombstone, running Chad to work at noon and going over to Michelle's Sisters to see her little nephew who will be in for a visit. We stopped by yesterday for a while, and we are going to stop by again.
I've brought up the idea of a bowling adventure with everyone, Jim and Chris are both very receptive to the idea in the near future.
Hope everyone had a great Christmas and you have a great day.
Being that this is Christmas Eve, I want my Photo Flashback to really have meaning when it concerns this day. Christmas Eve has always been a very special day to me and my entire family. Enjoy some of ours from years past.
Some of my family videos from Christmas Eve's past Enjoy.

It doesn't appear that I did one for 2006, but here is one of the first videos that I ever did to fill in a little.
2005 which is probably my all time favorite one that I have done.
This is kind of a Hump Day, it's actually Christmas Eve Eve so to speak. I think I may take tomorrow off from work so that I can get some cooking done and run some food errands before we head off to my Sisters tomorrow evening.Update, I'm off today as well. =)
Tomorrows flashback Blog is going to be a series of Christmas Eve videos that I have done through the years. It's just something I had enjoyed doing on Christmas Morning through the years. I've taken a few years off, but tomorrows blog will feature 8 videos that I have done for Christmas Eve's past, plus the first video that I ever did to fill in a little. Make sure that you read this page tomorrow for a little reflection on years past.
Now for everyone who wants to be tracking Santa Claus, NORAD had been tracking him for years and they will once again be doing their Santa Tracker once again this year. They also have an ap for all smart phones if you really want to keep track where Saint Nick is on his journey around the world to deliver all the toys to the good little girls and boys.
Have yourselves a Great Day, it's about time for the Christmas Celebration Season to begin.
* Well that dreaded Monday is one again behind us, that always seems to be the toughest day of the week to get motivated for, now we are staring at a Tidbits and a Tuesday.
* Well it has been 19,014 days since my birth, using that corrected 905 days calendar I think everyone will notice that that makes me 21 years old.
* It has been 4,237 days since I graduated from West Virginia University. I started later in life, but it's about finishing.
* It was 2,838 days ago that I took Michelle out on our very first date, 10,000 BC is still one of the worst movies that I have ever seen, but that's OK. You know, it used to be her that kept track of all of these days..lol
* It was 2,062 days ago that Michelle and I became engaged. I proposed to her right in the back yard at around 4:00 in the morning.
* It was 1,599 days ago that Michelle and I celebrated our wedding at the Marilla Center. It was a Caribbean theme or a Jimmy Buffett type theme and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves.
* I have about 5,823 days to go until I finally retire, give or take a few hundred here or there one way or the other of course.
* In just a very short 2,461 days the WVU vs Pitt Football rivalry will take place again. Yes Panther fans, I am counting the days until we will kick your butts again.
* I have about 345 more days to go until I celebrate another Anniversary of my 21st Birthday, if you are using that 365 days calendar of course.
* There are only 284 days to go until Michelle and I try once again to attend the Springs Festival. We missed it last year due to a few cold and rainy few days.
* There are 264 days to go until Cruise 2016, this will be our fifth one that we will have taken together.
* There are 228 days to go until my wonderful wife Michelle and I celebrate our Fifth Wedding Anniversary together.
* There are only 89 more days to go until Spring 2016. Spring is my favorite season of the year.
* Only 42 days to go until Ground Hogs Day, I have to send Phil some liquor, a few female companions and a veggie tray for Christmas. Remember me in February Phil.
* Only 9 more days to go until my Goodbye 2015 blog posts. As of right now I have a little over half of it written already.
* There are only 3 shopping days left until Christmas, mine and Michelle's shopping is done, but there is still time for the procrastinators.
* I have written 4,301 Blogs in over 11+ years writing this particular blog. That is a lot of entries, a lot of thoughts and a great deal of information concerning my life.
* Doing a little work to the Hall Family Tree, 281 people currently in the database and a significant number of people to still add.
* Nothing new on the Brother Search again, we need something to happen but I have faith that we will get there.
* Not sure if I have ever mentioned it before on my blog, but I Hate Snow.
* Star Wars 7 basically crushed all the records for opening day and opening weekend for a movie.
* On a recommendation I ordered and plan on reading the book "That Dark and Bloody River" from Amazon. A very good historical perspective of how this entire regions developed. I am a little bit of a history buff, especially when it comes to places I am familiar with like Morgantown. I remember for my Senior Thesis I researched the history of Dorsey's Knob. I can remember tracking George Washington in our county on the other side of the Cheat River, but he never crossed it.
* The Steelers are 9-5 and have won 5 or their last 6, that streak started when we went to see them play the Raiders. I think they can bring home number 7 this year.
* I still need to come up with some music to do this years Christmas Video. Anyone have any suggestions? I think my two favorite that I have used were "Let it Be Christmas" by Alan Jackson and "Christmas to Remember" by Amy Grant.
* I have a funny feeling it is going to be a very slow week at work, but that is just my hunch.
All good things must come to an end and that includes awesome weekends. Now it's time to stick our noses back on the grindstone for a few more days before we celebrate the Christmas Holiday.
Well I was able to talk my lovely wife into going with me to see the movie Star Wars 7, The Force Awakens. If you have not seen it yet, I suggest going to see it and if you do go see it, splurge the extra couple of bucks to see it in 3D if at all possible. If you even remotely a Star Wars fan, this is a must see movie and even if you are not a Star Wars fan, this is a great movie. The Cinematography was the next level, JJ Abrams and Morgantown High Alum Lawrence Kasden knocked this one out of the park. It's more than worth the price of admission and I've seen where a few people have actually went back to see it again and I can't say as I blame them. I'm already to see the 8th movie in the series..lol
With Christmas coming up this week, it's going to be a short week for everyone. I'm not sure of my schedule yet, I might just take off Christmas Eve to get a few things done and started cooking. We have our Hot Sausage and a big ham that all needs cooked that day and I may just be the guy to do it..lol
Here I sit in a quiet household, scratch that Fin is chasing Sophie through the house. I'm still up early watching Licensed to Drive on HBO and collecting my thoughts for the day. Sammy and Yoda Claus are sitting on the other side of the room relaxing together and hanging out, I think they may be up to something later today.
Got my Christmas Shopping done yesterday, I did get an early, early start and then met up with Michelle later on to finish it up. I think she has a few small things to pick up, but other than that everything is done and in place. Now it's just a matter of the wrapping and the organizing.
I left early yesterday morning and we had our first covering of that dreaded White Stuff on the ground, I'm not sure if I have ever mentioned this before, because I tend to not speak of weather related issues, but I kind of do not like snow. It's not my favorite thing in the world, you could almost say that I Hate Snow. The roads especially around the Coliseum yesterday morning were nothing but an apparent sheet of ice. Now if I were about 16 years sold and had a VW Bug with bald tires and a big parking lot to insure that I wouldn't do any damage, then I may have a different viewpoint of it all.
Today's plans are simply do our weekly shopping. We have our Hot Sausage and a big ham for Christmas Eve already, now it's just a matter of filling in the weeks menu and replacing the perishables that we replace on a weekly basis. The Steelers play the late afternoon game today, so unless I can convince my wife to go see Star Wars with me today, it's going to be a pretty uneventful day.
Here I sit once again in a semi-quiet household, with Fin around it never seems to be absolutely quiet anymore. I'm up watching the Last King of Scotland on HBO and collecting my thoughts for the day.
I'm thinking about doing a little early morning Christmas Shopping. Head out to WalMart when no one is around and do a little shopping may be on my agenda in the next few minutes. I'm a very bad procrastinator, but I still have plenty of time and may just let Michelle sleep while I'm out shopping.
In years past, in the early AM is when I used to do all my shopping, the stores are always empty and not crowded, and being that this is the last Saturday prior to Christmas, something tells me the stores are going to be jam packed this weekend.
Other than that I'm hearing some pretty good reviews for the new Star Wars movie, I would like to see it in the near future. Yes I am a big Star Wars fan as it seems like just yesterday when I was a kid and Star Wars first came out. I have many fond memories of going and seeing all of the movies, I can remember being 5th in line to see Return of the Jedi on its first showing. We drove to Fairmont and by the time the doors opened, the line was a couple of hundred yards long if not more.
And BTW, I HATE SNOW. We got our first covering last night.
Yes it is once again that time of the week that we all look foreword to, when we can take time to cease the labors for the week and take a little bit of needed time out to enjoy the fruits of those labors. It is once again the dawn of another weekend, and a Big Ole Hairy Friday.
Well we went a couple of nights ago and picked up the Hot Sausage for Christmas Eve. We buy a box or two from a supplier Michelle uses at work every year, it's the kind that is served at fairs and carnivals and if you were at our wedding, the Hot Sausage we served then.
We had our company Christmas Dinner last night, we all went out to eat at the Fujiyama and all went very well.
Our plans for this weekend, the last weekend before Christmas, do a little Christmas shopping around town. Mainly for the young kids and for my Sisters Chinese Gift Exchange on Christmas Eve. Other than that, no big plans this weekend. Maybe do a little more development on the Hall Family Tree, but we'll have to wait and see.
Once a week I like to take a little bit of time out, time to look at some of the 30,000+ photos that I have stored on my computer. Little lost moments in time that I either captured with a lens, scanned or just stole from some place on the internet. I like to find just one and post it up and recall or relive the picture to the best of my ability. Sometimes this is a pretty easy task and sometimes it's not that easy, one thing it has always been is a whole lot of fun.
I'm not exactly sure when this picture was taken, I'm guessing it was in the early 90's and to be perfectly honest with you I can't seem to remember exactly what this picture is. I'm guessing this was Val's birthday party, as I see my sister Terri with a cake in her hands. I see most of my Nephews and Nieces that were alive at that time, but not all of them. This was a time prior to Calvin being born if you can believe that.
This one really takes me back, back to a time when we were all younger, and I don;t just mean the kids...lol
