Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas everyone. I now have approximately one week before I head out. The closer it gets, the more real it becomes. I am not really worried for myself, but for those I am leaving behind. I hope that they are okay while I am away. I know that they are strong, I just hope they stay strong while I am gone.

I had a good Christmas visit with both my in-laws and my own family. There was little arguing, and everyone had a good time. Nathan got several toys including a talking dinosaur nearly as tall as he is, a Hungry Hungry Hippos game, and a child's Snuggly. That way, he can still reach for things while he is nice and warm. I myself finally graduated from a disposable bladed razor to an electric model (Dwight, I am still taking the blades with me, you never know when you will run out of juice).

Santa was a real treat this year, from the jolly old man, I received cutlery, toothpaste and toothbrushes, clothespins and velcro. All of which will be useful over the next year. It will be an interesting deployment to say the least.

Laura made out well with new art supplies to assist her in her new business as well as slippers and a new blow dryer. I really hope that her art business takes off next year. I encourage you all to visit her website at...well, I will post that later as I cannot remember what it is at the moment. Need to post that at a later date.

The cats got hopped up on some holiday catnip today. Personally, I don't think there is anything funnier than a cat on the 'Nip' it almost makes me wish I was a cat just so I could know how much fun they have. Tika, my wife's cat for those who don't know, could barely stand. I tried some, but all it did was make me sneeze.

well, that about covers it for the moment, I'll be posting daily from here on out--at least til I get into theater.

Semper Iratius!
