Spirits?

While I still have wrapping and some Christmas shopping to do, I am really getting bored.  It is amazingly difficult to be home, especially when everyone else (save the dog and cat) are gone.  TV sucks, even more than at night.  I'm pretty caught up on my "Honey-do-list", and I just don't have any holiday spirit this year.

We have already done some volunteer work and plan to serve dinner on Christmas Eve to the unfortunate.  I hope that my spirits rise, but so far no-go.

Perhaps my spirits will pick up if I drink some....

What does a dyslexic, agnostic, insomniac spend most of his time doing?
Staying up all night wondering if there really is a dog.

I was driving along
in the used car I just bought off of craigslist when the check engine light came on. I forgot to do that before buying so I was worried it might have the wrong engine

so I popped the hood and it had a decent looking V8, as advertised so I thought to myself good, I wasnt ripped off I said thanks to the car and acknowledged that its a nice engine, and figured it was all good. the light was still on, so maybe it meant performance check, so I floored it in neutral and the rev limiter worked fine, but the light was still on. so then I put it in D & floored it up till it pegged the speedometer, and all was good, I drove to the mountains and drove as hard and fast as I could, but its still telling me to check the engine. how do you do it?

needless to say I got tired of checking the engine after I burned up a pair of tires, 5 tanks of gas I and found myself in the canadian wilderness.

so I taped over the light.
