Joe Gallagher!: 'Tis the Season

Hey there Blog Watchers! Sorry it has been so long since my last posting. I went to Ann Arbor, MI to celebrate thanksgiving with some of my family. My sister Mary, my brother-in-law Ken, and their 3 kids (Magda 9, Elinor 5, and Liam 2) hosted a wonderful holiday. In attendance were my father, my brother, Mike, and his new wife, Shannon, and my brother, Tim, and his life partner, Sascha, and their new son, Leo. There was a lot of great food, drink, discussion and debate. We took several jaunts into bustling downtown Ann Arbor, a few of us went ice skating at a local rink and we even put on Elinor's version of American Idol. Quite fun. Thanks to Mary and Ken for hosting the event. Mary has been fighting a nasty case of something so it was even more of a feat for her. We tried to be as much help as possible with the kids. They're a handful!

I will be back on the East Coast for the holidays. My Aunt Julie generously offered me a flight home using her frequent flyer miles. I will be flying in to Newark on Dec. 18th and fly back to LA on January 7th. 3 whole weeks! I can't wait. I hope to see lots of friends and family in that time. I will be going to Maine on Dec. 21, 22 and 23 to visit my Mom for Christmas. Then, I will be in Bethel for Chritmas Eve and I think in NYC with my brother Tim and Sascha's (his partner) family on Christmas Day. I am thinking about going to Boston for New Years but that is not set in stone. We shall see.

I just found a video of the Fuel for Life commercial that I dubbed this fall in NYC. Its pretty hilarious to hear my voice come out of a european model's mouth. I couldn't embed it here but I've included a link. Enjoy.

I am also trying to put together some footage from Michigan for the blog. Check back soon for that.
