A macbook is pretty kew...
Well, I had a good'n too. Hung out with my dad & aunt most the time... was funny when we were driving back to my place from downtown when I told my dad "Go ahead and take a right turn when you get the chance." But before I could finish, my aunt who has lived in SF for 45 more years than me interuppted, "NO! don't tell him that, because..." etc. Before she could finish, my father's well known short fuse ignited and he erupted with "OOOOHHH LET'S LISTEN TO SALLY, SHE KNOWS WHAT SHE IS DOING!!!"
lol Then my aunt got pissed at him for yelling and hurting her feelings; attempted to "walk out" of a moving vehicle-- my dad slammed on the gas and then on the brakes... then BACK on the gas and shut the door for her. Keep in mind this is all happening in the streets of the mission district so I guess you could say we "blended in". 
After that, it was dead quiet in the car all the way back out to my place.
Tryin ta think of what to say to make my aunt feel better... hmm. No worries though, time went by and they both apologized etc.
I got an electric scooter for X-mas! Trouble is, the damn thing is supposed to go further than 5 freakin miles... I guess I need to calibrate the batteries yet?
Lou & Gideon, I got your guys' family; card thank you very much! It's a cute lil gibbler on there. I'm looking at the card I've procrastinated originally to send to you guys.
It's on it's way.
Hope everyone's Christmas is great and stress free! (yeah right) Have a great new years guys!
(Hi john!) 
Hey, btw john- that list of the "worst band names" is whack. You've always had one of my most favorite aliases on the net.
And... I forgot to say that a tiger somehow got out of the zoo over here and killed someone on the street about two miles from my place. Holy shit.
Um... my dad just told me this on the phone... yikes.

I don't have any family in my area, but I spent time with them in November. I went over to a friend's house, but due to my sleep schedule and the hour and a half drive I arrived around dinner time and the food had already been cooked and guests had already left. Kinda felt like I missed Christmas by a few hours.... oh well, at least I got to see my friend and reheated some food and had a few beers. So, not much happened, but I don't mind.
On the bright side it was a white Christmas this year in the Denver area... and the snow came JUST for Christmas, it was a nice day on Christmas eve, and the sun is shining today too.

Well...I survived! If you knew my family, you would understand the excitement in that statement. 
Christmas morning with the pups was the best! It was great watching them drag toys around the room and get 'buzzed' on doggie treats. It's just the commercialism and family drama that drags me down this time of year...everything else is great.
Kylo, are you sure we don't have the same family???
And finally, I'm sure that the gifts I ordered for my family will arrive ANY DAY now....

We had a great time out in the country with my family. There were nine chihuahuas there altogether.
We exchanged gifts, had a big dinner and sat and talked for many hours. It was a good Christmas had by all.

I loved the part about nine chihuahuas! Any pictures? We had a total of eight dogs on Christmas...one giant Rottie, five terrier mixes, a shy Pom and our daring chihuahua-mix Lola. Wheeee! There were chewies EVERYWHERE!
See? Dogs know how to do Christmas right!

Pictures were taken of the nine chihuahuas but it was with a film camera so we have to wait for the prints.
