YOU HAVE THE CONN
LITTLE DUDE! |

Little Dude and George Takei at Star
Wars Fan Days 2011!. |

Hello 2012 – The year the chain comes off the sprocket…
apparently?! Hope 2011 rounded out nicely for you?
Over at camp Cyber Kid, unfortunately, we had a
set-back when the Matriarch of our organization “Ma” had a
sudden, massive and what would classify as a tragic
hemorrhagic stroke at the end of September. Traveling to
Clearwater, FL the Cyber Kid and family faced an uncertain
outcome as emergency brain surgery was performed to save her
life but required removal of a portion of her right frontal
lobe…
But, they say you “can’t keep the good ones down?”
Well, after 22 days in the Critical Care Unit and 66 more
days in a Rehab facility, Ma flipped the proverbial finger
to the whole affair when she walked back into her home.
Three and a half months past the event and she’s doing
remarkably well in what her brain surgeon can only describe
as a “miraculous recovery!” You’d never know she had a
stroke! Still with some mental recovery to “fine tune” her
brain on chronological events, she has full motor function,
intact long term and most short term memories and is eager
to get back to driving and work!? Wow!
Of course during the 70+ days of recovery, Darth M had
to make his way over to Clearwater on many occasion to help
w/ finances, medical paperwork, and taking care of her
personal affairs. This of course cut deeply into flying,
resulting in just a trip or two flown a month while
supervising the process. Support of family, friends and
many others was much welcome and made this process as
“smooth as it could have been!?” (Particularly from Little Dudicus and Rabbit who were so very understanding, patient
and concerned!?) |

Ma & the Cyber Kid! Day 54! |

Meanwhile back in Tejas and moving towards November
saw another Star Wars fan days. Dressed as Lord “mini”
Vader, Little Dude was a huge hit as many thought he looked
just like the kid from the VW commercial. Jessica Rabbit
even got in on the action this year dressing as an Imperial
Clone Trooper. The kids were available on Saturday only and
were (sort of) willing to take pictures with anyone who
wanted one! The Cyber Kid was able to meet George Takei
(aka Mr. Sulu) from Star Trek fame and get the final
available autograph to complete his crew autograph picture!
20 years in the making and featuring 6 of the 8 original
cast, it’s a pretty cool piece!
Later in November saw the (mostly) annual British invasion
over Turkey Day! A quiet day w/ the Cyber Kid’s world
famous Roast Turkey was enjoyed by all in attendance (which
included Mr. Charles B.!) After which the chaos began as
the shopping extravaganza of known as “Black Friday”
officially opened at 10pm Thanksgiving! With a team of
“well-trained” Doorbuster Elite’s the Cyber Kid had no less
than three teams in place when the sales started. The
result was yet another “magical” Sale event, acquiring ALL
of the desired items! Thanks to Mr. Dennis, his apprentices
and the British Special Shopping Forces (aka the “in-laws!”)
for making the evening a success! |

So with Fan Days completed, more trips to Clearwater,
FL culminated in a drive by the (entire) Cyber Kid clan to
visit with Ma who was home mid/late Dec. (Awesome!) In
addition to the visit w/ Ma which included a Pirate Ship
Sunset Cruise, Beach Time, Family Time and Christmas was the
annual visit w/ the Armadillos…
Complete w/ a fresh litter of NINE
(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9!) Cane Corso puppies, the house was more
than awash in puppy love! A few days distraction to visit
w/ Mickey & Friends was welcome by the Dude and Rabbit and a
new adventure to Universal Studios, FL saw the kids ride
JAWS with just two days before it was to be dismantled :o(
Smile you son of a … :o) (All the pics
are in the Alex & Jessica Albums!)
New Years Eve w/ the Armadillos, New Years day w/ Ma
and a subsequent two days driving put the gang back into
Tejas w/ 24 hours before school & work would be standard
operating procedure again! That rounded out 2011 and let
the gang have a nice diversion
prior to a new 2012… the year it comes unglued –
supposedly!?...

Just in case you still don't have this
memorized (YET)!?...
Since I left you last I was entertaining a
major coffee habit but two years ago I was able
(in about 4 days actually) to go from 5-6 cups a day to one!
While I do still drink 5-6 cups of "coffee" a day only one
of them now actually is caffeinated! So, with this I
felt I needed to update my four cups list! -
There are four cups of coffee consumed in
the morning. Each cup is named/labeled by the
emotional state that it facilitates in the drinker.
The four cups are labeled as follows -
1. :oI - The "Up" Cup (Decaf/Optional
1/2 Caff.); to wake
you... as the smooth aroma entices you and the silky taste
prepares you for -
2. :o) - The "Happy" Cup (The
FULL One w/ Caffeine!); as the neurons
start to fire and the body kicks to life, shifting into
"high" gear, a sense of well-being overcomes...
3. :o[ - The "Angry" Cup;
(Decaf) "well-being" is
cast aside as the desire to choke the living daylights out
of a random stranger for all the problems in the world
ensues... plus you no longer get the rush from the caffeine
so that pretty much bums you out...
4. :o\ - The "Motivation" Cup
(Decaf/Optional 1/2 Caff. cup);
after realizing that violence isn't (necessarily) the answer
and the fact that you've been sitting at the coffee shop for
a few hours, this cup "snaps" you back to the reality that
you actually have "stuff" to do and so, with this refill...
you leave... and either get some stuff done (if you went
with the Caf) or crash on the couch (with the Decaf option!)
There you have it... Now go grab a
cup of mud and indulge a bit... |
