Well, it's been one of the better years a Mile High here at the Prankster's Prairie Palace. Some ups and downs along the way. My Aunt GEM and her Daughter, my Cousin Nan, died from separate maladies which left my other Cousin a little lonely but she's got a great hubby and 2 very nice sons which I know helps her a lot. I got to see a few places around the USA this year which was very cool. I was able to strike up some fun conversations with all kinds of people in airports and restaurants. Met some musicians in Norfolk and got to see some great bands in Colorado and Virginia. Then there was sitting on the beach on some hot summer evenings sharing dreams with a very fine and lovely woman. I had some very interesting work, I visited with old friends, made some very nice new friends and have enjoyed this here blogging thing even though I almost stopped in June. A very good friend talked with me about it and I stuck around and was glad I did. A new year of adventure is right around the corner and I am looking forward to it.
I appreciate the kindness that all of the folks here at Blogstream have shown towards me. We all have our good moments and then we have the bad ones. But all in all, I see a lot more good here and I hope it stays that way. I blog to satisfy a tickle in my brain. I have become fond of writing little verses and occasionally do other stuff too. Fun fake news piecs, posts about music and I enjoy assisting Miss SixxRoxx on "Cowbell" and the interview projects on Lucy's blog with Hockey Mum, Miss Six, Kristin and Captain Morgan. I dig the interaction and sharing of ideas and have gotten to know some really fine people in the process. One of the greatest gifts I have ever received is your feedback, your sense of fun and the fun things I get when I read your blogs. I am blown away by the many gifted writers and loving hearts here. Sometimes a piece someone writes inspires me to write and I love when that happens. Go visit those on my favorites list please, I think they are an interesting bunch and hope you find something that makes you think or laugh. Thank you all so much for bringing so many smiles to my face.

A Prankster and his Mama on Christmas Day 2006


Unky Pranky hangs with his sweet niece AG. While little BG was a perpetual motion machine this Christmas Day so the picture of her on the sofa was the only one I had where she was looking into the camera while I was snapping the shot.
