Christmas in March?
So… If March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb, what is it in the middle of the month? What animal represents the Ides of March? Something halfway between. Of course, it has to start with an “L”. Lions are carnivores. Lambs are herbivores. What omnivores start with the letter “L”? OMG….I can only think of one. Don’t tell Denneigh. Halfway through March we are thoroughly in Lemur time.

What you might not expect in mid-March are Christmas videos. Well, I’ve been hanging on to this footage, waiting for the right combination of boredom and motivation to set these Christmas videos to the right music.
We start with me arriving in San Diego. I have no kids. The closest I have are my two nephews, and they feature prominently in this video… In the heart of Winter, it seemed somewhat heartless to post these beautiful pictures of sunny Southern California.
One of the attractions of San Diego Harbor is the USS Midway, a Midway class aircraft carrier that sailed in the US Navy from the 1940’s until the 1990’s. I think I found the one and only militaristic Christmas song to go with this video.
Lastly, we have the highlight of any Christmas, the opening of the presents. Beethoven takes you there…
I wanna gift right now. 🙁
Nice song and I like seeing you in the videos; makes it very personal. No, it’s not heartless to post pictures of a warm Christmas; I LIKE my snow! 8)
I had two Myspace friends from San Diego come over to stay with me in Belgium in Feb 2007. And we had snow! (see photo).

whoooooaaaaaaaaaa how cooooooool!!! I wanna go there!! :love: 😆 😆 (cuuute nephiews too~!)
Beautiful stuff Joko.Very touching actually
Yes Joko I thoroughly enjoyed your video’s,I mean ya gotta love a family were even the dog gets a special Christmas toy to get a good chew on….lol…and by the way
like most lemurs, ring-tailed lemurs have a particular breeding season. In the wild in Madagascar, in the southern hemisphere, most babies are born August-October. In zoos in the U.S., in the northern hemisphere, the breeding sesaon is reversed, and most babies are born March-May. So you see J.,Lemurs all over the Northern Hemisphere are just beginning to have their young uns…so once again you have hit the season directly on the mark my friend.Yes it is indeed it is a special time of year for Ringtailed Lemurs and undoubtedly we are thoroughly in Lemur time….Thank you much for acknowledging that my friend.The picture below is of my nephew Lars playing with his favorite toy,he was born last Tuesday,and weighed in at a robust and healthy 1.8 Oz,and just over 4 inches long…wow he’s a chip off of the old block if I ever saw one….lol.
This action by you once again proves that you are indeed the greatest Sage in all the land my friend…..
Thanks again J.

peace *~*~**!**~***~**
Those were great videos! My husband served on the Midway in the late 70’s, he would give his left nut to be able to see it again. I’ve never seen the ocean, but that sunset looked awesome.
I vote for Lemur.
In like a Lion out like a Lamb, soft in the middle like a Lemur
Soft and furry you mean right
?
:groovy:
