merry christmass

well after the first of the year little rider will be in first grade...his test scores are off the chart...his IQ is in between superior and genius...so what do we have here?...he is dark complected and super smart...wonder where he got that from?...anyway...it is a little sad...it is one less year he will spend at home...he wont drive until he is a junior...he and baby rider are essentially 3 1/2 years apart now rather than 2 1/2...he is one of the shortest kids in K...so in 1st grade he will for sure be the shortest...hmn...wonder where he got that from?...those were some of the cons that made this decision really difficult...

i am excited for christmass...mainly because we bought the boys a wii...mrs rider has been persistently stating that we should open it...play a little...and rewrap it...i have held strong...we played at the coachers house and loved it...also i will mention that a quick float downstream sunday payed for it!...i got mrs rider glamour shots of myself...but dont tell her...what a great gift..."hey clark, that's the gift that keeps on given the whole year"...the ones of me on the bearskin rug are priceless...digression appropriate...

for those of you at disney...you might notice my picture posted all over the park...dont worry...it was a misunderstanding...the altercation was started by goofy and i finished it...he deserved what he got...no apologies...

i wish everyone a merry christmass and a happy new year...

i even removed the G&R to play a little holiday music...

later from 3rd St.

by the way...the yankees just picked up a pretty good 1b...looks like they now have the best infield EVER!!!
