Say hello to my little friend--
I'm not a big fan of Will Ferrell or
the movie “Elf”, but I got to spend the day with Buddy the Elf
yesterday, and it wasn't too bad. For those of you who don't know
what's going on, our friends at the Delft Bistro in Marquette have
their “Delft on a Shelf” promo happening through Christmas. They
stick a life-sized cardboard cutout of Buddy the Elf in various
places around Marquette, people take selfies with him, and they then
have a chance to win goodies from The Delft.
Yesterday, Buddy spent the day at the
station. For the most part, he was quiet and stayed out of the way,
showing none of the manic tendencies for which he's known. However,
I think he became bored sitting in our window, because he insisted on
spending the afternoon with me in the studio. He was still behaving
himself in there, at least until he started giving me the stink-eye
when I wouldn't play “Baby It's Cold Outside”. Fed up a little,
I told him that if he didn't stop I'd stick him out in the snowbank
outside, where several dogs had just passed by to, uhm, take care of
business.
He quit giving me the stink-eye after
that.
I have no idea where Buddy's going
after he leaves us, but hopefully it's to a home that welcomes him
just as much as we did. Hopefully, he behaves himself there, and
hopefully, he won't end up in someone else's snowbank
Although with him, you never know.

By the way, I'm off most of the day
tomorrow to enjoy a three and a half holiday weekend, so there won't
be a new one of these up. However, if you get really bored and
really desperate to read something, you can also click

me.
Have a great Christmas weekend. See
you again Tuesday!
