If it rains on Christmas morning and snows Christmas night, is it still a white Christmas?

Hook, Line, and Sinker

joe@averagejoeamerican.us (Average Joe American) — Sun, 20 Dec 2009 14:00:14 PST

It has been one week since we added a little Chihuahua puppy named Nacho to our family. Both the puppy and his name were chosen by my son. Neither my wife nor I ever thought we would own a Chihuahua. I certainly didn't think I would become so attached to one so quickly! But this little guy has certainly captured my heart. We had agreed after the passing of Maddy, our beloved Dalmatian of nine years, just three weeks ago that we were going to wait at least until spring to get another...

Merry X-mas!

joe@averagejoeamerican.us (Average Joe American) — Sun, 13 Dec 2009 09:48:29 PST

This time of year there is always great debate (among those who just need a reason to debate) about the meaning of Christmas. Whether you celebrate it as the birth of Christ, or just a time to give gifts, or some other manufactured holiday [see Kwanzaa], Christmas should be a time of great joy and happiness, shared with family and friends, blah, blah, blah. Right? I say, emphatically, NO! Christmas is a time of year that we recognize the birth of our Savior. Period. You may give gifts, which...

Working Sundays

joe@averagejoeamerican.us (Average Joe American) — Sun, 06 Dec 2009 18:39:58 PST

For the first time in 15 years in Retail Management, I work for a company that has adopted a set Management schedule for every store in the chain. This set schedule has me working 7 of 9 Sundays during the holiday season, after always having Sundays off. Sundays for me are family days that begin by taking the family to church. We then do activities together at home or go to lunch, and just basically enjoy the day as a family. Today, I'm at work, wondering which bean counter in corporate who...

Random Holiday Thoughts

joe@averagejoeamerican.us (Average Joe American) — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 05:29:52 PST

Being in Retail Management, this can always be a hectic and stressful time of year for me. In past years, the job has actually killed my Christmas spirit. There can be a great deal of chaos, people arguing over who got to the last widget on the shelf first -- many people are just rude in general at this time of year to those in the service industries. Thankfully I've been away from the core retail business for the past five years. I work now in a specialty retail market that barely...

A Day At The Museum

joe@averagejoeamerican.us (Average Joe American) — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 18:36:07 PST

Today was my first day off work since Thanksgiving, and we decided to spend it doing something fun and family-oriented. So we took off after lunch and headed to The Children's Museum of Indianapolis [http://twitter.com/tcmindy]. My daughter got to see Santa Claus (my son avoided him), ride the carousel, and slide down the Yule Slide (a la "A Christmas Story"). My son did and arctic treasure hunt and played in Science Works. We always have a great time at The Children's...

NaNoWriMo 2009

joe@averagejoeamerican.us (Average Joe American) — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 20:02:06 PST

With only two days left in the month of November, I have crossed the 50,000 word finish line for National Novel Writing Month. My novel, the sequel to my first novel is only approximately half complete at 50,000 words, so it looks like I'll be writing well into December. I'm very pleased with where the story is going and where my characters are taking it (because I lost control long ago when they quit following my direction around word 264 or so). Stay tuned for updates on the editing and...

Thankful Thanksgiving!

joe@averagejoeamerican.us (Average Joe American) — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 03:00:03 PST

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. Philippians 4:6 Thanksgiving should be something we practice many times a day. But on this day set aside for the purpose of being thankful, for what are you thankful? Today, I am especially thankful for five things (and not necessarily in this order): That our girl Maddy is no longer sufferingThat our children are happy and healthyThat my work has begun to return...

An Excerpt From My #NaNoWriMo Work In Progress

joe@averagejoeamerican.us (Average Joe American) — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 18:48:14 PST

The following is an excerpt from my current work in progress, the sequel to my novel 24 Hours With Spencer Field. This is part of my effort this year in National Novel Writing Month. I would set up the scene for you, but you're just going to have to wait for the whole book to get that. Enjoy... Ike, who wasn't normally one to stay put for very long, found himself hours later in an abandoned building in the Plainfield Warehouse District, about fifteen minutes west of the speedway. He had no...
