Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas, one and all.

Tremendously enjoying vacationing with the extended family in northern Michigan. One of the most fun advantages of getting together is it provides a critical mass of people for playing games. One of my cousins received Blokus, which is a lot of fun and has depth. Hit the Deck and Swap are mostly the same game but they're both quick and easy to learn. Upwords is a perennial favorite (and very Scrabble-like).

The Playstation 2 experience advanced this year to include Guitar Hero and some kind of karaoke game. My uncles crooning out songs was a highlight of the evening. Might have to get me one of those PS2 things.

Christmas dinner was, as always, tremendously delicious. The sweet potatoes were particularly delectable this year. After dinner we took a walk in the mud. This has not been a white Christmas. It made for a suitably muddy foodball game on the lawn, though. It turns out I can sortof catch and throw a football. Becoming slightly less Charlie Brown like.

Your football skills have advanced, I agree. The singing highlight was not your uncles but your father...
