Once the tissues disappeared from the Kleenex box, Seessel took a peak inside and discovered a whole new world. What's odd is that he really seemed to like it, stuffing his head inside the box so many times I got worried and threw it away. Not before I shot a little video, though.

Home for the Howlidaze
We had snow flurries today as the weather finally dipped below freezing. With the bitter winter slowly approaching, I think I’ll look back at happier times -- the warmth that emanated both emotionally and atmospherically during my holiday.
- Six months after Kapone the pit bull was picked up by Memphis Animal Services and then disappeared, an anonymous tipster helped a Cordova family reclaim their pet 50 miles from home in Senatobia, Miss. I wrote about the happy reunion. December 20 Weather: Scattered showers, Hi 65°F Lo 50°F
- New church founders raised $10K and decided to give it away in gas at an East Memphis station at Poplar and Perkins. I went to the event and wrote on what may have been a case of good intentions gone awry. December 22 Weather: More rain, Hi 49°F Lo 45°F
- Police recovered a stolen truckload of holiday hams. Enough said. Christmas Eve Weather: Sunny, Hi 50°F Lo 35°F
- Tried eggnog AND boiled custard this year and discovered I liked them both. Especially with a helping of fireball whiskey. Christmas Eve Night: Clear skies, Hi 50°F Lo 35°F
- Dad came to visit after I covered Christmas services Downtown and cooked for me! London broil, asparagus, mashed potatoes and a couple bottles of wine from one of our favourite wineries in Sonoma. Christmas Weather: Sunny, Hi 53°F Lo 40°F
- Wrote a special obituary on one of the only white business leaders in Memphis with courage to fly against the grain following Dr. Martin Luther King’s assassination here. New Year’s Eve Weather: Sunny, Hi 66°F Lo 37°F
- Traveled to Georgia for a quick visit with my mom. We shopped at the outlets and went to weight lifting and restorative yoga classes. I’d like to find something similar here; it's one of my many resolutions for 2012, which I’ll write about later, hopefully after accomplishing at least one. Maybe I'll start by breaking a world record… Or attempting with vigor like evangelist Telisa Franklin did with her Zumba workout. January 7-9 Georgia Weather: Light rain, Hi 70°F Lo 41°F
