Holidays!

Well, as some of you may know, we were snowed in for the Holidays. We did try to make the best of it, and all-in-all we had a great time of it.

On X-Mas day, we spent a good portion of the day using Skype hooked up via our laptop computer and widescreen television to do a live video call with Molly's brother Brian in South Carolina, where we were actually supposed to be on X-mas. It was pretty neat. They could see us and we could see them. We used our Rock Band microphone to talk, and they did the same... and we could (for the most part) see and hear everyone quite well. They opened our stockings for us and showed us what we got. We were online with them for about 3 hours, and then they had to eat their X-mas dinner.

Not long after that we went over to Josh and Lindsey's house where they had prepared a wonderful dinner of lamb and other fix-ins. It was very, very tasty.

The next few days we hung around with L & J and their family on and off, and in the mean-time we ran errands, cleaned the house, worked out, etc.

For New Years, we went to a pretty nice Peruvian (sp?) restaurant for din-din, and went to a "private Karoke" room afterward. All-in-all it was too expensive for what it was, but we had a really nice time.

Yesterday we were supposed to go skiing, but we actually ended up going "tubing" which is basically an innertube on the snow-covered hills. Its in the same park as skiing, but we decided before we got there that skiing wasn't right. Well, come to find out it would have been a perfect day for skiing, but who knew?

So, now I'm back at work, and ready to get into the long-stretch before the next break.

No pictures this time!
