Merry Christmas!!!

I just want to thank my dear cousin Adm for being a Red Sox fan (see.... not even my typical Red Sox hate.... it is truly the time of love). FOR, if it wasn't for my cousin Adm's hatred of the Yankees, these incredible items would not be ours. Uncle Chuck, the richest man I know, (famous line describing George Bailey), was beyond generous this year and gave away his major prize. I am not worthy of such generosity. Merry Christmas!

xmas wish part deux

For those who were clamoring... notice the baby belly

our christmas wish!

So, we can't be there for the big day, but we will be in town. Until then, Please take this picture and post it wherever the festivities may be. Think of it as our present to you... Or something like that. I tried to get a picture of me and Amy, but Lucy's not too bright when it comes to working electronic equipment. We need to train her better.

The new corporation

I think the winner is Jenna when it comes to the name! Major prize forthcoming (although I'm still struggling with my pirate gift, so keep you expectations low!)

My plan was to have custom imprinted beer coozies for Christmas day, but who knew that took 10 - 12 business days from Shanghai!? They will be there in spades at the next Holtzapalooza, because hopefully by then I'll actually have some corporate income!

Thank you for all your support family, during this crazy time. I'm up and running, even if I'm working from the local dunkin donuts most mornings. I'm very optimistic!

PS -- sorry I bumped the Christmas Story blog, but people were clamoring!

Turkey Bowl 2006

Turkey Bowl 2006
by JT Pilaf

Another year and another victory. Ho-hum.
After 18 years of losing I am now on a winning streak of 3 years and 4 out of my last 5. Who said JP can't grow into his position. It just takes a little bit of time.

It was a beautiful sunny day in Buffalo, NY Turkey Day morning. A mild 50 degrees with no wind. Typical for Buffalo at the end of November. The ground was a lil' soft but nothing we couldn't handle. In our own way, we're all mudders.

Notice the post-game beverages.

Next year everyone's invited. The seats are cheap and there's plenty of room. Maybe someone could run a hot dog stand off to the side?
