B6- Pill or Chord

Let's back it up from the title for apenas un segundo ( just a second). I had a great Christmas. One of my favorite gifts was the knife holder my dad sent for from Switzerland! It matches his, plus the new knife my parents got me. With all of my pocket knives, I'm thinking of starting a collection. I got a new headlamp to replace the old one I got with my Make- A- Wish gift, and a box of 45 6- packs of crackers. That's 270 peanut-butter crackers, folks. I got some much needed clothes, as well.

On to the title subject, though. B6: Vitamin or Guitar Chord? Turns out it is both. It was a few days before Christmas when we heard about it on the news. A simple vitamin stemming back seizures in a little girl since birth. Now she wasn't having the type of seizures I am having (in fact nobody seems to have the same problem I do. It's kinda' frustrating at times) But, she was having success against them by taking a simple vitamin called B6. She has been free of seizures for her entire life, I believe. So I thought that it couldn't hurt to give it a shot. I've been taking it since two or three days before Christmas, and I haven't had a seizure... yet. That usually spells trouble, but I'm used to feeling bad as well. This week I'm not. I've had my regular share of energy, and even feeling better, but that could be mental. We'll see how this all plays out. New medicine and dosages of same have to go at least two weeks without seizures (for me to feel comfortable with them) and this vitamin has been in my system for five or six days. It's a little pill, and not complicated to take (it's not a horse- pill)

You talk about your non-complicated guitar chords, B6 is easy to play, now that I've looked it up. There are many ways to play it. This is the way for beginners on the acoustic guitar. See the following:

In my dabbling around with my guitar, I'm sure I've come across this chord. The difference is now I know it's name. It's made up of all flats, I believe.

In summary, B6 is supposed to help seizures, and sounds pretty at the same time. So kids, remember, it is important to take those Garfield vitamins. Take it from one who knows.

White Christmas? / Gifts

This takes the cake. Now after taking the full force of a hurricane, we got a few hours worth of snow. Yes, you read right; snow. I've heard Houston was a little weird, but meteorologically? But I hear every time this city gets wacky weather in the summer, it gets wacky weather in the winter, aka: snow. It also seems it is staying colder longer and earlier this year. You know, this hurricane might have been a pain in the rear, but I think I can see some good in it, that is if you like cold weather. I'm the kind of guy that doesn't mind going out in a shirt and a pair of shorts on a day when the temp is in the 50's. I can't remember whether it was tonight or last night, that peace I felt with that cold air, and that full moon. I wonder if that was what it was like for the town of Bethlehem as they awaited the birth of Jesus, all those years ago.
My Venture crew's having their annual Christmas party tomorrow evening (take that, economy!) so I'm hyped about that, and our family are having our 8th annual giftathon that started about about a week ago. How you do it is by writing the names down of each of the family members, and putting the pieces of paper into a hat (in this case, my good Sooners cap) and drawing a name. This year, instead of guessing or trying to trick somebody into revealing what they wanted (my personal favorite) we all wrote lists of what we wanted and put them on the refridgerator door. With less than two weeks to go before Christmas, I have a hefty shopping list in front of me for the person I have. Many of you out there have lots of folks to buy for, but, slow it down, and remember, Jesus was born on Christmas day, and that He is the true reason for the season! The presents are nice, but they are just symbols of what God gave us. A gift far past the value of all gifts; His Son.
