We're back...Sort of.

Hey there. Bev and I have been in the process of moving, so we haven't posted in a while. We're still trying to coordinate with our new ISP to install service to the house.

So we're getting into the spirit of Christmas. How about you guys? What Christmas album do you HAVE to hear before you're in the Christmas mood? For me it's Ray Conniff, We Wish You A Merry Christmas. When the chorus chimes out "Jolly Old St. Nicholas", all my childhood memories rush back in a flood of Christmas Joy! It becomes one of those times where I just sit and stare into nothingness. I just reminisce. Trips to my grandparents houses, cousins houses, parties, snow, days off from school, are all released from the deepest recesses of my memory. Man, life was good when I was a kid. What happened? Besides responsibilities, the world has just become a much darker place. I want my kids to have the same fondness for their childhood as I do, and as my parents do. They deserve it at least as much as we did.
