Yak Foundation and Happy New Year

December 31, 2006 · 5 Comments

Well, I must admit that I have been lax in my viewing and posting on “THE YAKS” and I am ashamed. But here I sit on December 31st. reflecting on the year and faced with my annual Dec. 31st question.

How does one make a contribution to the Yak Foundation before the tax year ends? Is there an on-line path? I will continue searching my computer (mildly organized) and my brain (more and more, less organized) for ways, but if there is a way and a Yak knows, please contact me ASAYP (as soon as Yakking possible).

UPDATE – Talked with MJ on the phone and solved that problem. Also heard lots of Yak updates. I’ll let everyone post here though
I enjoyed the pictures up on the blog and wonder when “the Yak” went to the Ritz? I will promise to post something soon (yes I have finally bookmarked the site on the computer I use most).

In the “wow I am getting old” category (note: that means you all are getting old as well…) Joshua is off to a New Year’s Eve party tonight and is looking forward to kissing his GIRLFRIEND at midnight. We will see if it is a peck on the cheek or something more substantial. Kirsten and I were just commenting on the fact that Joshua will tell us. We are pleased with the open relationship we have with him. Fits in with my conversation with MJ on the fact that “Parent” is not only a noun, but a verb.

Our New Year’s resolution is to spend more time Yakking and more time with the Yaks in the coming year. Let’s make, at a minimum, quarterly plans if not monthly plans. In the coming year. Our best for all in the New Year.

PS – LilyJohn – enjoy the parade

The Final Boss

December 21, 2006 · 1 Comment

Two months of tireless effort and I managed to defeat the Final Boss in Daxter.   Some of the games levels were fiendishly difficult.  Plus the people who ride the bus with me must think I have a bizarre form of Tourette’s Syndrome.  “Frickin’ bugs!” 

Daxter go the girl, but I seem to has only completed 70% of the game according to my saved triumph.   What gives GameMaster Mike?
