Well that was a wonderful holiday.

Christmas morning was a lot of fun. My son got enough of what he wanted to shore up his faith in Santa, as well as a few inexpensive gifts that he really loved. He was exuberantly and sincerely grateful which helped to counteract my vague feelings that he was being spoiled. My wife and I got eachother several things that we wanted. Hers were mostly what she expected, but mine were unexpected and wonderfully appropriate. Either she?s a better hinter than I am, or she?s more imaginative. Probably a bit of both.

I've been picking away on a couple of new posts but wasn't able to make much headway over the break. Perhaps now that I'm back in my routine, I'll find some time to finish them.

In the meantime, someone passed this joke along to me from The Really Old Guy's Not So Funny Jokes collection.



What's the difference between the Vietnam War and the war in Iraq?

George W. Bush had a strategy for getting out of the Vietnam War.
