Patches likes to pretend she came here along with Santa’s bag full of presents.

Camera Bag
Santa brought me a new lens for my camera. It’s awesome. He also had to bring me a new bag because I now own more lenses than I have room for.
The bag is giant and even has room for a lap top. Woah!
The Macallen
My brother and my brother in law partook of the Macallen Christmas night. On Christmas Eve my wife and my father in law did as well. They all approved.
As for me?
One sip, followed by one major whiskey face, followed by a lifetime of continued tea totaling. Sorry, folks. Robbie still don’t drink.

Owl has been the highest ornament on every tree since 1977.

And Owl too.
Eight years worth of trees from three houses. One for each year that my wife and I have been together. I cannot tell you how lucky I am that she and her kids have let me be a part of their family. No one is more blessed than I.
One Step Closer
Santa has brought me one step closer to being Robin Trower. All hail the Uni-Vibe!
Homemade Guitar Picks
My step son gave me some homemade picks so I broke out the Les Paul and the Marshall stack and we jammed for a while to try them out.
The Good Stuff
I don’t drink. Ever. I just don’t. There’s no reason for it outside of never having come across an alcoholic beverage that actually tastes good to me. I’m also kind of proud that I’ve never been under the influence, in a weird anti-social sort of way.
This stuff though…
This stuff I’ll at least try. It will probably make me want to vomit, but I’ll give it a try. It comes highly recommended by Neil Peart. Obsessed Rush fans will understand why.
You Turkey
My company has swans living at the building in Canton. The building I work in doesn’t have swans, it has a bunch of wild turkeys.
Jingle Bells
We have actual jingle bells on our door.
Gig
My step son played his first recital on guitar and bass tonight. He was great! He played one song solo on guitar, and another on bass with a band. It was so cool!
On the home front, most of the wrapping is done. Not all, but most. We are closer to being ready for christmas but still have quite a ways to go.
