Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year!

Santa was good to me, this year. I got a big ole' Craftsman toolbox w/wheels from my baby, among other great gifts. Most importantly, I was able to spend a good time with my family. That kind of thing becomes more important to me every day, and is especially important on a day like Christmas.

I'll probably blow entirely too much money on fireworks for New Year's Eve, and then blow them up. It's been a tradition I started when I bought my house. The first time was New Year's Eve 1999. Before that, I had a bottle rocket tradition going on with my old High School buddies, who've since moved away.

Anyway, I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas, and want to wish you a Happy New Year!
