i got a shoutout.
I totally want that Norb bear.
I'm sneaking on to watch a bit of the Greg Cam, I have to go back to work but hopefully I'll bbs.
I get one every 6-8 months.
I wonder if the bear means Norbert is there? He has to autograph it before they sell it.

Thats' really sweet Liz, and speeking of John, there he is.
that hair's looking a little wild for Andre
Very nice Liz. Gosh now I am sad. Can't wait for tomorrow's emotional show.
Heh no Liz, I've always loved Dennis, both kinda held that title for me, I will miss Andrew, but I was just saying that Dennis would now solely hold it. What did you mean by the I love you b/c thing...guess I don't know much about that show yet?
Home now. It's pouring. Fun. At least it's tonight and not tomorrow. My cousin was talking about the Beatles, and his daughter little cousin(easier to call them this than use names, kinda confusing) wanted to hear Beatles' songs so I sang Yellow Submarine for her and up until we left she kept saying Again or Manta, sing yethow sumrine. Tried to switch it to bway, but she wouldn't have that. Oh well, will save that for next time. Good sign that I seem to have some influence over her taste in music
Hahahahah. The Idina movie had me laughing. I'll watch the John one once everyone here leaves. (Stupid dad having friends over)
Aww Hi Tom/Greg! This will be the last cam w/ the wreath I suppose.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Not the wreath! Anything but the wreath!
Passing of the torch. I wonder what Mr. Pyrce will be putting up?
It would be really cool if it were a Jewish star...but somehow I don't think that's appropriate/likely.
But if you're passing the torch, you know Christmas wreath to Jewish star...well, makes sense in my head anyway.
The wreath isn't really a Christian symbol. In fact, most of the traditional things we have at holiday time go back WAY before the beginning of Christianity. This was an interesting article I found on it:
"The lights and decorations on Christmas trees are evocative of ancient Roman times, as are the wreaths that many people put on their house doors and vehicle hood ornaments. The Romans would celebrate the winter solstice in a festival called Saturnalia, named after the god of agriculture. They would decorate trees and their homes with ornaments and candles in honor of the celebration. They would also exchange gifts with one another: Coins were given in hopes of prosperity; pastries were given in hopes of happiness; and lamps were given in hopes of lighting one's path in the future. Wreaths were hung on home doors to celebrate victories. Also, a family would often associate itself with a certain kind of wreath and hang that wreath on its door as a means of differentiating itself from other families (sort of like a family calling card or a house number, things that ancient peoples didn’t have).
Even the Vikings can be found chipping in here with the idea that the evergreen tree meant the beginning of the end of winter (and the beginning of the end of the long darkness and chill that that entailed in Viking homelands).
That mistletoe and holly that seems to populate many homes every December? They're signs of eternal life, and they date back to the Druids of ancient Britain and France, who also placed evergreen branches over their home doorways, to keep evil spirits away. Mistletoe was also a sign of renewed life in Viking traditions. "
NOW THAT'S A FAREWELL PICTURE!!!

Wow thats a great shot!
Is that Norbert's first time ever on cam?
Anyone else see the pic of Norb, Joanna, Greg, John, Greg and the whole gang?!
It's not Norb's first..but he's on rarely..
It's been a long time.
Too bad there was no Sherie or Andrew
I don't remember Norbert's wearing his uniform on the cam in the past.
