Merry Christmas and a Joyous New Year to all of you, this place is just right, I always know I'm amongst friends whether near or far, you're all first class folks!

Here's a Christmas offering - appropriately clothed in Crimson!

JoAnn and I are just back from the first bowl game of the season, the New Mexico Bowl in Albuquerque...this was shot at the pre-game Alumni Association event.  That game had the wackiest ending I've ever seen - but although the game turned out badly, it was a nice trip.

We've extended our living room and are putting a swimming pool in (which you can see in the pic).  A timber deck will join the living room sliding doors (18 feet wide opening) to the pool once it's all finished in around 5 weeks.

I've been having a Christmas Eve dinner with relatives.  Three of them started talking about how amazing Justin Timberlake is.  One of them (who has seen him in person) even went so far as to say he was the greatest person in the world.  I just sat there in silence, shuddering.  These are good people, but when it comes to music, we are from different worlds.

Nice to see a photo of you.  We get up to see my wife's dad (only surviving parent and an 1100 mile trip) probably twice a year, but every time we come through his door I'm reminded how lucky I am to still have both my daughters within 80 miles.  I know that won't last, but I sure am enjoying it for now.

Thanks, everyone!  You'll get a kick out of what my son has to say about Denver.  He left under what sounds like a lot of difficulty, but he summed up his last impression by explaining that housing is very hard to find, rents are going sky high, and "every 20-year-old white kid that smokes pot is trying to move to Denver these days".

He left out the craft brewing fanatics who are moving to Denver. 

Oh, I'm sure he knows that.  He was working at Great Divide when he left.  I don't know if he was kidding, but he said that the employees turned one of the brew vats into a hot tub one week-end, while they drank beer and played soccer in the parking lot.  He's now in Chicago, trying to get into Half Acre, and also sending resumes to Three Floyds and Lagunitas.
