Merry Christmas

[GJK]

Tomorrow morning the wife, kids and I will be heading to San Antonio to spend the day on the Riverwalk, then we're staying at a hotel there. Saturday we're going over to my mom's for another Christmas, then we're headed home Saturday night. Then an entire week of no work to follow, though who the hell am I kidding, I'll be firing up my work laptop to check some things, I'm sure.

Hope all had a good Christmas. Glad to read that minor incidents didn't turn into anything major. :)

We've really got to get together one of these days for some gaming!  The Riverwalk will be very pretty with all the lights and decoratons - enjoy that!

Yes, was speaking to the fiance last night about how lucky she was that her fall was fairly minor.  She's still in a good bit of pain but it's just an ankle and thankfully she didn't hit her head.  I've informed her that she's no longer allowed on any type of ladder or step stool as this is the 2nd time she's fallen off of one and I've had to rush to her rescue.

Very nice pix Barthheart. I envy you the sun and surf, although the rain here did eventually stop!

Not quite southern hemisphere, about 12 deg. north. That's my view of the port of St. George's, Grenada.

Yeah, I was just teasing since the picture is upside down.

Spent a fine evening listening to classical music getting my butt handed to me in Chess by Deep Fritz 14.  A beautifully relaxing evening.

Wife and kids did pretty well on the groggy gifts for me this year. Wife is getting my early 20th c. lithograph of the maneuvers preceding the Battle of Sabugal matted and framed, and the kids (who are now thankfully in their 20's so no more dollhouses!) bought me a very nice print of a topo map drawn by a Union engineer in 1862 of some terrain near Arlington. The wife also bought me a Gold Osprey Books website subscription but now they're being jerks about her trying to transfer the membership to my account, so that gift may end up on the scrap heap.


Glad everyone had a good holiday with no serious injuries or toy-assembly caused homicides.

Dodged the doll house bullet. The Wife wanted to put it together with MiniGus 1 and 2. I am sitting in front of the fire.

Those are some serious gifts panzerde, enjoy!

The adults in the family decided a few years back to stop buying each other gifts and just focus on the kids and get ourselves what we want. So, I've got a few board games, a TRX Tactical and a door frame chin-up bar on the way.  :)

... door frame chin-up bar

I had one of those back at the old house. Made a great shirt rack.
