We’re in The SC spending time with my family and friends and just finished doing the Christmas open presents thing… again. I have to tell you, having what essentially boils down to two separate Christmas celebrations is a pretty stellar way to spend the holidays. (I’m sure some of you married folk are whispering “oh, just wait, the stellarness will wear off soon enough” but I just don’t buy it yet.)

Also, these new iPod Shuffles are CRAZY TINY.

P.S. Spellcheck tells me that “stellarness” is not a word and therefore suggests “steeliness” instead and to that automated suggestion I say: whatever steeliness I currently feel towards my dual-Christmas scenario, I don’t buy its eventual wearing off either. I remain, as always, optimistic.
