No, I didn't die...

Andrew and Santa

Stephen and Santa


Christmas floored me. I got behind and well...


I finished all 200,000 meters on the 21st.


Drove to Texas with my sister, my 14 and 4 year old nephews and my 85 year old grandmother. Can you say, I need a beer!


Luckily my dad had some.


The food has been outstanding,


Christmas Eve and Christmas day were spectacular.


My little nephews, Andrew-4 and Stephen-3, are cute and smart and actually well behaved.


The older nephew, Austin-14, is now old enough to hang out with the guys and hold his own in the football, poker, fishing banter.


Grandma got up a 5am every morning and needed help with the coffee maker.


Santa (Dad in a Santa suit) visited on Christmas Eve right after dinner and you should have seen Andrew's eyes! Hook, line and sinker.


Austin and I have stayed in Texas and will fly home on Saturday. Just in time for me to spend New Year's Eve with the fine folks at fire station #10.


I hope you all had a fantastic holiday.


I'll be at ATC, on an erg, Tuesday Jan 2.


Happy New Year

I did by the shoes while ill. I ordered pizza for dinner tonight. I worked all day at the funeral home. I am in bed again. I am still sick...I never should have worked. I probably never should have bought the shoes...they were a hundred bucks. Please don't tell anyone I spent that kind of money on a pair of shoes. Please don't tell Kris. Oh god I am still delirious
