I’m several days late getting the annual Krismas loot report up, but I’ve been taking advantage of the time off from work to catch up with friends and family I’ve not seen in awhile. Spent a couple of days this past week hanging out with Bob and my brother-in-law joined us for New Year’s Eve. . . . → Read More: Krismas 2008 loot report.

We’ve had it a long time though, bought it back when 4 megapixels was brand new and . . . → Read More: And the tree starts to take shape… We finally bought a new artificial tree today. Did you know it’s almost impossible not to find one that doesn’t come pre-lit with miniature lights? I hate mini-lights on a tree as it makes it look dark.
