Once upon a time, Bressler.org had photoshopping challenges every week. This is the first in a couple years. Subject: The Real News... as you see it.

My humble contribution to get things going. Make contributions to the topic on this Forum thread.

Hello Friends,

What a wonderful Christmas we had!  We went to Southern California for a whirl-wind of festivities and then had another Christmas celebration in Sacramento the following week.  I received the most amazing gifts of toys, clothes, and books.  I thank you all for your generosity.

I received my first major award in December!  I reached "star of the month" status in my classroom, which meant there was an entire wall dedicated to little 'ole me.  Mommy says she is glad the teachers are recognizing my superior talents.  Grandma Diane continued her weekly travel to Sacramento and took care of me for 3-4 days a week.  When she couldn't be here, Grandma Laurie and Grandpa Rick came over the play with me.  We had a lot of fun!

I am now eating snack foods with my fingers; my favorites are Gerber Puffs and Cheerios.  When we first started practicing, the dogs circled around my high chair like sharks, just waiting for a Cheerio to drop.  After a week or so, my aim improved greatly so that I now get ~80% in the target.  Dutch still keeps hope alive.  Sometimes, I throw the snacks over the side just to keep him coming back for more.

More pictures after the 'read more'...

Happy New Year to the folks who drop by Bressler.org! I hope it's a good one for you, I mean... that hope & change thing is still on the way right?

Thanks Robb & Melinda for the... wonderfull Painter of Light puzzle sent as an XMas gift. *grimace* Fianna is enjoying the opportunity to 'soften' all the edges before I reassemble it into a giant spitwad. That is what it's supposed to be right?

Bressler Stuff: Sister Heather & her husband Nick are pleased to welcome Austin Bressler to the family. Austin was born on November 14 (see picture). Austin is my first nephew on Dad's side of the family. The elder Bresslers now have their first two grandkids, both born in the same year (Fianna & Austin).

Brother Cody has accepted another position in Japan. He'll be leaving sometime in March. No kids on the horizon, but his Japanese girlfriend Reiko travelled to the states for Thanksgiving week. We took her to the gun range for Thanksgiving. God Bless America!!!   :p

Grandpa Bressler's gravestone, in Coleridge (Nebraska) is online!

The Arcade is back in business, but I'm still moving games over. Just for kicks there is a new Sudoko and Rock-Paper-Scissors games available. The Casino will be back soon.

Cheers.

Had a great weekend with the old college gang, and Bill Hoge (who I hadn't hung with in a few years), in SD this weekend... abusing Chris's lager tap in his Club House, playing cards and drinking Scotch until the wee hours, tailgating the rest of the morning and then watching the Chargers beat the Dolphins. Perfect! ... More Pictures

Nebraska wins and Oklahoma loses. Great first week of the College Football season. Hope that luck carries into VT's house on Week 3, but I wouldn't count on it.
