Santa was pretty good to me this year. Which is cool, because being here is not as much fun as being home with the wife and kids.
Family and friends sent me some books, someone sent me a black toy Mini Cooper S, and the wife and kids sent me a digital picture frame. Great, great stuff.
I farted around this morning, playing with my new stuff, and then headed off to lunch to serve chow for about an hour. Not a bad gig. An interesting tradition — we started doing it in order to let our cooks have the day off or at least have an easier day, but these days, it’s all contracted. But we still do it.
And then this afternoon, my roommate and I did nothing. It’s been great. I’ve got to go up to work for a few hours, and then we’ll go back for the big Xmas dinner — turkey and all the trimmings. I suspect we’ll close out the night with some more Open Arena on the Mac’s, and maybe a movie.
Best surprise of the day? The hula girl gingerbread cookies. Maybe an inch or so tall, and very, very tasty. Hopefully, I’ll get some Skype time tonight with the family later, but bandwidth is pretty crappy right now since everyone is off for the day (in whole or in part).
Happy holidays, everybody…..

Hmmm… I tried to order the Mini online, but the shopping cart didn’t take an APO. So I called the store and ordered it from a very nice man, but I guess we forgot to include a message. Your Mini is from Doug and me! I love the multicultural gingerbread folks.

Well, it is awesome! Very cool, indeed. Its in the office already, and I am sure the pull-back-and-let-it-go feature will come in handy!
