I spent most of the day putting up the outside Christmas lights. We bought a set of icicle lights for the roof-line three years ago when we moved into the house. I started having problems with the lights last year. For example, a short section would go out. This year I had even more problems. Short sections of five of the light strings were out. While I was struggling to get the lights working, one of the neighbors stopped for a second and told me her husband refused to put up icicle lights anymore due to problems with section of the lights going out! Eventually, I ended up getting two strands working and replacing three more completely.



After dinner, Sharon and I watched Bruce Almighty.
