Merry Christmas

Baby! It’s COLD outside.

Our Christmas is white, the air is crisp and clear. The sun is just peaking over the mountains and it’s spectacular.

It’s 24 F and rising.

I slept late and am enjoying my first cup of coffee. I never thought I’d be “that” guy but when I woke up, I grabbed my phone and told it to tell the thermostat to raise the temp in the house to something above 50F. Then I waited warm under the covers until the house was in the 60s.

This time of year the neighbors don’t have to worry about looking in my windows and seeing me heading naked to the coffee pot. I’m in clothes the minute I’m out of bed. Cold tile on your feet wakes ya up like nothing else.

I’d really like a “connected” coffee pot. One that I could control from the phone like the thermostat. I’d like to tell Siri, “Good Morning” and have the house warming and coffee brewing when I decide to haul my carcass out of bed.

Maybe I’ll hit the after Christmas sales and see if anyone makes a device like that.

There’s another storm supposedly on the way. There’s supposed to be another 6” of snow and that’s okay. Maybe I’ll make a naughty snowman in the front yard or something. 

I hope everyone is safe and having a Merry Christmas. My plan is to have a quiet one, watching movies, and being a pig.

Merry Christmas to all.
