And then we start the countdown to New Years...

Christmas has come to a close. Considering the circumstances, I'd say mine was pretty good. Christmas Ever, we had a Lee family conference call (as deemed by Lindsay), involving a videochat with me and mom/dad/sister and speakerphone with us and then Mike/Lindsay. It's times like these, where you have to appreciate technology. We opened a few gifts via the internets, which was nice. And then today was a little more gift opening, and then sat around and watched a couple movies (National Lampoons, and ET!-I forgot how great this film was) I hope everyone else had a good Christmas and spent time with their loved ones.

Here's a few links that have been sitting in a draft post.
