Merry Christmas

It's a little late, I know. I've been busy working 10 hour days since I got back to Vancouver.

This year, instead of feigning illness and avoiding my family, I got sick for real and spent nearly 4 full days with them. And while I didn't successfully infect any of them, I did score a new espresso maker, a stocking full of espresso beans and, thanks to the magic of regifting, an almost-new iPod.

Overall, I would say that this Christmas was at least as good as last Christmas, when I spent over an hour wandering through deep slush in a pair of converse sneakers, in the dark, looking for a non-existant address which I had copied down wrong.
