I think we need to skip Thanksgiving and go right to Christmas. I’ll assume we’re all thankful, right? I see some heads nodding. Maybe we put Thanksgiving on the other side of Christmas. That way, when they ask what you’re thankful for, you have the list of toys you got to refer to.
OK?
I’ll take your silence as an “OK”.

Recently, I got to time travel back to your olden times and the fly on a “areo-plane” (you may think it’s a giant silver bird, but it is not!) to the great city of New York City. It was really fun. I got my own seat and everything. Check me out! I ALSO got to meet some really famous and smart and talented and pretty people. This is Samantha and Angela. They are famous and friendly and talented and pretty. They are the people responsible for a little show called Blues Clues and another little show called Super Why… heard of it much? They bought me a scone (sugary and tasty) and a sammich at lunch that was good too and it had blue cheese, also.
Angela said that I was “sassy”. She’s got my number there, boy-o. I am all sass! Sass and scones.
Anyway… big shouts of inside-voice love to Samantha and Angela! And here’s to scones… natures candy!

My friend Peter has a sister named Lila. From what he tells me, she’s the greatest sister in the world! But he says that about ALL his brothers and sisters. How can they all be great? Maybe they all live on different worlds and are the greatest on each. Anyway, this ONE greatest sister of Peter’s is the one I want to shout about. Lila is awesome and funny and smart and loves music and parties. I know she’s smart because she’s a big fan of me and also of Johnson. I know she’s funny because everyone around her always seems to be smiling. I know she loves music and parties because every time we see here she’s getting ready for, or cleaning up after a party.
Anyway, Lila’s been sick lately and could really use a pick-me-up! So, If you’re reading this… and you can click on buttons, go on over to the Art Machine, make a picture (anything fun and pretty) and send it to me at asteroidandy@hallmark.com. I’ll send it to her from here.
OR, you can send warm thoughts. Either way… let’s do this thing!!!

Shiver me timbers? Shiver YOUR timbers! It’s the premier of our very first digital book, “To be or NOT to be a Pirate!” Yayaya… clap clap clap! It’s awesome and interactive and like nothing your ancient eyes have ever seen! So very advanced! You’ll think you’re looking at a book but the pictures will be moving and there will be sounds coming out of it. You’ll be tempted to throw it out of your house because you think it’s witchcraft. But don’t. It is not.. it’s magic. Totally different stuff.
It was written by the very talented Dan Taylor and starring the equally talented me, Asteroid Andy!
Make sure you stay until the very end. There’s a special little thing on the credits page just for YOU! YEAH , YOU!
Special Thanks to everyone who made it happen! Mark, Jack & Sam… that one guy, lovely Gina…Uhm… I’m so bad with names. OH, Ryan, Ira and of course Dan (from earlier).
YAYAYA Tell your friends!

(actual image of Lindsey’s baby)
My friend Lauren, who is the best kind of nerd, asked me to shout-out at her sister Lindsey. Lindsey (with an e) is having a baby and will find out today if it is a boy or a girl. Here are the good things about having a boy…
1. Boys are awesome.
2. Boys can only keep one thing in their head at a time so it’s easy to understand and/or confuse them.
3. Boys don’t need to take a bath everyday… or even every week. We have extremely tight skin that keeps the cooties from getting into our bloodstream.
The bad things about having a girl are many… I will give you just three things… so you can compare and contrast.
1. Girls ARE cooties.
2. Girls talk a lot. I mean like a whole lot… like it’s going out of style. And it’s usually not anything important… Unless it’s Lauren talking… then it’s all “nerdy” and interesting.
3. Girls love to love. Enough said!
So, to my new pal Lindsey with an e, I say good luck today. If there’s anyway to affect the outcome… make it a boy!

1. There are really only 4 types of trees. They are Regular, Lollipop, Money, and Christmas. Shoe trees are not real trees. Don’t be silly.
2. All trees have rings but only about half are married.
3. All trees have trunks but very few of them can swim.
4. Trees take in carbon dioxide, kites, birds and squirrels and release oxygen, leaves, and bird poop.
Look t that! You learned something! You’re welcome!

Our friend Christina said to shout out at her friends Shannon and Paige. I have no idea who they are, but they sound awesome. I drew a picture of how awesome I thought they might be. Paige is some kind of princess with a 3 foot tall jeweled encrusted crown… possibly. She could, for all I know, have a robot claw and she might, for all you know, carry around a cupcake in a magic thought balloon.
Shannon is also awesome and powerful. She’s also some sort of royal lady who, in all likelyhood, wears an iron man chest plate and one hand that is a laser firing death weapon… if memory serves. She also eats atomic powered cupcakes and slays all those who oppose her… perhaps.
SO… shout out to these fine people! They deserve your love and fear! YAYAYAYAYA! All Hail Paige and Shannon!

Well, it’s finally ready! There’s a fun new game on the site! It’s called “The Vortex!” Duh-duh-duuuhhhh! It’s part 2 of the game “The Chase!” Duh-duh-duuuhhhh! And it’s SUPER challenging! Duh-duh-duuuhhh!
The deal is, Andy (that’s me) has missed the bus for the field trip to Grossopolis, the amusement park planet because he (me) was playing a video game! Luckily, Rex has sent his bumblephant, Tim-Tim to get me to the upper atmosphere BEFORE the bus goes to warp. The Vortex is the Skyway bi-pass that super accelerates you up into the stratosphere. It’s run by the Tickle Puppies and maintained by Monkey Bots. You have to bump into Puppies that are the same color as the level you are in to get pushed into the next level. Monkey Bots will knock you back down to the begining of that level, so I’d steer clear, if I were me… which I am… and will.
Let me know if you think this game is good, or great or too hard but still great. My friend Ira made it all happen. Yay for Ira and his genius brains (he has two, you know).
