Tis' the weekend before Christmas and all through the house everyone is doing their own thing, giving me time to click this mouse. Mixing some music I've come across in the course of the year, all in the hopes of giving you some holiday cheer. Some of the music is traditional and others quite not. But I hope you enjoy this music that I have brought.

The Blog Oklahoma Family and I wish you the best in this holiday season. Merry Christmas everyone.

Back during the summer of 2006, my wife, son, and I decided to take a short excursion through western Oklahoma. Our goal besides having a fun family afternoon drive was to find a few historic places north of Cheyenne, Oklahoma.

Podcast Correction: I transposed the highway numbers when I recorded the podcast. Highway US 283 is correct. I say 238 by mistake.

Hot off the heels of a busy Thanksgiving week comes an entire month of holidays, office work, and family happenings. All this tends to make this one of the busiest times of the year. So before we get too far in the busy season I would like to wish all of you a happy Hanukkah, a merry Christmas, a festive New Year, and a most heart felt, "Welcome to Blog Oklahoma"

Our poor little dog Widget threw another fit this morning. Why? Dogs don't know about daylight savings time. They don't realize you've changed the schedule. So this morning and every morning since November 1st around 5 AM Widget has to go outside, now! So it's either wake up, drag myself out of bed, and let the dog out, and attempt to start the day; or let Widget throw a fit for just one more hour. It's a no win situation either way. Yawn!

The 31th of October is very special to me. Not only is it home to one of the cooler holidays, it's also the day I became wedded to my lovely Donna. Thank you for 5 wonderful years.

Did you know your fifth wedding anniversary is the wood anniversary?. I'm not sure what I'm suppose to get Donna. Considering the season, I'm thinking of a wooden stake. So she'll have something to protect her from all those Twilight fans. Ooo Creepy!

In tribute to this special day stay tuned for a special edition of the podcast.

I was driving home from the office yesterday, and what did I see? Christmas decorations. That's right. Christmas decorations. The City of Elk City has already decorated the street lights down Main street with Christmas decorations. The holiday isn't for another two months and It's already Yule time downtown. What happened to Halloween? What happened to celebrating autumn? I haven't even picked up candy for next Saturday night yet, and now you're telling me is time to go shopping for Christmas?

It's been cold and dreary out there this week. Autumn has definitely fallen on us. Hopefully everyone got there container plants inside or at least in a protected area. I know we did. I was hoping to get in one last lawn mowing for the season, but that's looking like it's going to have to wait, if it happens at all. I guess I'll just have to suffer a winter with a shaggy brown lawn. Welcome to Autumn.

Due to problems over the weekend. I'm actually recording this on a Tuesday. This might be the fastest podcast I put together. I'm going to test myself on my recording and editing skills, and attempt to get this podcast posted in the shortest amount of time I can. I already have my script written and edited for time, and my music selections are queued up.

So on your mark... Get set...

Getting a late start on the podcast today. This weekend just happen to fall on the time I do some end of the month processing for the ol' day job. And that purty much eats up most of the day. I almost just called this one, but I thought I'm sure I can get a podcast out, and if you're listening to this, hey, I did.

I don't know what about the last quarter of the year seems to just fill up with things that need to be done. I think I have more schedule conflicts this fall than I did all summer long, and I thought the summer was busy.
