Christmas round-up
Yesterday was a low-key affair, we all actually kind of slept in – presents weren’t getting well and truly cracked until after 8am. We went more for quality than quantity this year, which is perfectly fine with me.
I got, among other things, a very fine, home made Jayne Cobb hat, some new pants, a nice selection of classic TSR Dungeons and Dragons books(!) and a copy of Skyrim*, which ate up most of the day that didn’t involve picking Beyblade bits an d Legos out of my foot or cooking a ten pound ham.
This wasn’t much of a problem, since the spouse spent most of the day playing around with her new Kindle.
The new bass amp I’m time-sharing with the eldest hasn’t gotten turned on yet, but I imagine it will soon enough, once she gets around to digging into the Hal Leonard bass method book and giving the old Ibanez (freshly tweaked and set up by the good luthiers at Guitar Works of Carytown) a whirl. If she stays focused and makes progress in the next couple of months, I’ll take her shopping for her very own axe. That, my friends, is what you call a motivational tool (I hope).
Anyway…that’s about it from here. Probably going to make some bean soup today, given all that ham I have left over. Maybe we’ll crack open a couple of those table-top/card games we added to the “family” pile.
