If for nothing else, Christmas was memorable for Mom's arrival at LAX sporting a Santa Claus headpiece that had flashing lights. She apparently was the hit of the plane. At 84, she's still chugging along just great. Christmas is also one of the few times a year we get to see the boys for more than a couple of hours at a time. Being 400 miles apart puts a crimp in the family gatherings. Does anyone know the half-life of popcorn strings? That one that you see on the tree has been used for at least a decade, and still hasn't yellowed or crumbled. If you've ever strung popcorn, you know why we keep re-using the old one.
New Year's found Mike in Las Vegas with his friends from high school and college, staying eight to the room. We stayed home and played with the new plasma tv! It worked fine, but Adelphia's hi-def cable "service" required four home visits before they got it rig
