Looking back on another year, my second Xmas with the Double Fs, I have come to appreciate the power and complete kickassedness of a lot of you here. For me, putting aside one's personal spiritual persuasions, Xmas is about taking stock of the ones you know and the ones you hold dear. This year has been hard for a lot of us. Some of us have battle personal tragedy. Some of us have battled financial stresses. Some of us have battled illness or disease... some continue that battle and you are in our thoughts. The year kicked off in spectacular fashion with the birth of Audrey Moskovitz. I have enjoyed watching her grow and I have also enjoyed watching the growth of Akiva and Rochelle as they experience some of the things those of us with kids have experienced. I have forged strong friendships. I have built on existing ones. I have lost some as well. The fact that I have a wonderful friend in Mr Josh Haley is a true blessing and a gift that lasts longer than one day. He truly is the Yang...

Heather just received the SECOND best gift ever, from her parents. I'm a so-excited-I'm-jumping-up-and-down Kindle owner! And let me tell you: as hurty as my hands & arms are today, I'm glad to be able to actually hold something and read from it!
... after I fill the awesomely shiny new bird feeder (Hi, Scott!) so that I can watch the cardinals and juncos and mourning doves and chickadees out back. :-D

Kindle is great for the hurty-handed! My reading rate is almost back to normal, now that my hands don't go numb from holding a book. And some the best stuff you want to read is absolutely free or dirt cheap!

I can tell already, m9m! I've been drooling over the Kindle (and the Sony eReader) since they came out, but just haven't been able to justify the purchase to myself. But now, how can I justify the purchase of adorable bookmarks? ;-)

Ohmygosh - I love it love it love it! Reading in bed was the final test... it's funny how this is the one device that probably had the most ability to improve my quality of life, but did I have the money to spend frivolously on myself, it would probably have been a DSLR. Scott's so glad to see me with it, too.

feeding the birds is my entertainment that is why I always ask for bird seed if any one wants to give me anything

Whew! Home now from taking Scott to the 28th annual Messiah Sing-along here in Virginia Beach -- his first time at this one. It was goooooood. I think he found it marginally acceptable as well. :-)

Dear Facefeedbookfriend - STOP CHANGING THINGS!!! I like my facebook private, my friendfeed public and NO COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THE TWO. I've got things just how I like them so please stop telling me to "click here to fix this."
Now I want a Pugsley. And some snow, actually, since I've got neither.

My dad came and got me, and the car is stuck at a shopping center. Where my parents live (30 minutes south), the roads are plowed and the gas stations have gas. I am definitely going to write a letter to county officials. This was a major error on their part.

Ah, Greece is one of the places my brother and his gf are thinking of getting marrying in. Though a few of us are not looking forward to the 40C temperatures! We boil when it's 20C here. ;-)

I suppose in Santorini?:) You don't need worry, we have less than 40C many days a year! And in the islands there's always the breeze. Just make sure to avoid July:)

Well if my Mum is going it needs to be colder than 20C or she won't be going.
