Filler

Finally home from 'vacation'. Since I haven't posted in about 2 weeks (and my blog needs some filler for the moment), here are the highlights:

- Fun Christmas in the Bay Area with family and a few friends. Things went very smoothly at the family table, for once!

- Tahoe was a blast! Skiing was great (sometimes I forget that I do miss the sport), Neener and I got a kick out of cross country skiing on our last day, and family-time was good. While we were in Tahoe, a huge storm dumped about 6-9 feet of snow in 5 days by the house - even more fell at higher elevations. Yes, that's feet!

- Due to a 6:30am flight yesterday, we spent our last night in Reno at a casino close to the airport where I found a $30 room rate with tax (pretty good room for the price). Janine made back the room rate (and them some) on a $0.25 slot machine.

- Back home now with a dog that grew while we were left and a mountain of mail. I don't wanna go back to work, but I don't have much say in the matter at this point.

- In two weeks we'll be in Michigan for a wedding shower & postponed Christmas.

- In three weeks I'll be in France... and possibly London, if I play my vacation cards right. ;-)
