thanksgiving

so thanksgiving was like a month ago, but thats okay. this was my first year not spending the holiday with my own family. we usually head off to my uncle's place, who serves up a table full of turkey, ham, steak, lamb, lobster, crab, stuffing, and other accoutrement. cause there is nothing like thanksgiving lobster. he is also the guy who has nothing but corona and blue label for the over 21 crowd, so, of course, i get hammered on blue label.

this year mrs. ktl and i passed on the hassle of flying and driving and family drama, and stayed in nyc for our first thanksgiving away from home. so we decided to have another family dinner without the drunken korean karaoke, but instead replaced one family for another. the people included max anger, mr. and mrs. tadpolebear, myself and mrs ktl, luke, and manhattan wes. and here we all are around our bountiful harvest:



please note that max is eating out of a trough. he only managed one plate, but it was a plate the size of the dinner table. we were later joined by activated charcoal and a friend of mrs. tadpolebear.

we ate, we played video games, we ate, we slept, we ate some more. max decided to make approximately 2 pies per person. mrs. ktl outdid herself and made the beautiful turkey and plenty of other thanksgiving day delights. and everyone chipped in and made it a wonderful first thanksgiving away from home.

check back for the white dianna party post.

aint no party like a scranton party cause a scranton party dont stop!

so me mrs. ktl, cb and dr. dre took a day trip to the office convention in scranton, pa. it was all i could have hoped for and more. i laughed, i cried, it was better than cats. here are the photos of the trip...we met up with cb's sis up there, who is also a fan of the show. and yes we are all giant nerds.

creed playing with the scrantones (the guys who do the intro the the show)


the only cast members not present were jenna fischer (my one tru love, sorry mrs. ktl), steve carell, john krazinsky, rainn wilson, and paul leiberstein. i also go to shake hands with craig robinson(darryl) and oscar nunez.

so much to catch up on

there's so much to talk about since we last talked. the office convention in scranton, pa, my brother getting engaged, etc...

i'm waiting to post up some pictures before i delve into such subjects, but i will leave you with this youtube video of me and my brother fighting, when we were younger. near the end my mom tries to break up the fight...silly. anyway, im the one with the lab coat (my mom always sided with my bro when we were fighting).

FREEDOM!!!!!!

so capn dan is finally out of the army. 7 years ago, i saw him at his commissioning, when they took him from me. he's been in too long. i thought we'd never see the other side, alot has happened in 7 years. we have color tv's, we landed on the moon, brad pitt and angelina jolie had a baby. I am so happy that the army and the government no longer owns my friend. i prayed for him constantly and now the day of celebration is upon us!

so tonight lets all cheers/kompai and tip one back for capn and say a prayer for all the other boys and girls still over there, that they get home safe to the ones they love.

















here's to dan b. thank you for protecting us and our freedoms. i love you and welcome home.....now, all is right with the world!

when god gives you lemons, you FIND A NEW GOD!!!

max anger showed me these wonderful videos, personally i like the second one better, but both are amazing.

forgot something

at the atlantic antic we saw keri russell...and she looked surprisingly like this picture. shes much thinner in real life, and smaller. but still smokin.




















she had her baby with that blue carrying thingy, and her douchey husband was there. cb went all tourist on us and snapped a pic with his phone. what a embarrassment. that is all.

last 2 weeks

this is a picture catalogue of my past 2 weeks.
so last friday, i was allowed to go on a team-building excersize....which was a booze cruise. 93 foot yacht. wonderful hor's dourves (crabcakes) and an even better lunch. and i think that the best part of it all, besides the open bar and black label, was the fact that it was from 1pm to 430pm. right in the middle of the work day. so basically i got paid to eat delicious food, drink booze, play craps and blackjack, all on a cruise around manhattan during a perfect cloudless day. why can't every work day be like this?

of the 3 main buildings in the picture, i work in the one on the left. the new freedom tower should rise smack dab in the middle of those buildings.


who dat is? dats jus mah baby's daddy!! this is from the red hook ball fields and thats another man's baby im holding.



the atlantic antic, the largest street fair in nyc. its alot of fun to be had at these things. tons of great cheap food (vietnamese subs, collards greens, beer, fish cakes, gumbo) and some fun things to buy (6 point beer hat). and the company was awesome. from left to right: krishy, the weiler, slutty "the anthropomorphized recycling bin", and mrs. ktl


a giant mass of humanity



the weiler, cb, dr. dre, and krishy

and this was the day before. we went apple picking in nj with my church. a giant field of different kinds of apples, i believe the stayman weinsapps to be the best of the bunch. and then a little town with gift shops, more delicious food, animals to feed, and pumpkins to buy. the great part about the apple fields was that you could eat as many apples as you wanted and only had to pay for what you took home. i consumed my own weight in apples.

the ktl's looking good
