So this is a belated Happy New Year to everyone. Hope all was well with you. Our holidays were pretty good, with various family gatherings (including goose dinner), traditional Pennsylvania Dutch pork and sauer kraut New Year's Day dinner, my sister (the one with a complete and functioning cerebellum) and her two kids visiting, and the dog settling in (she's getting pretty close to being actually house-trained, knock on wood).
My favorite holiday gift: The spouse getting up with the dog at 6:00 a.m. the day after Christmas (the day of the goose dinner) so I could sleep in until almost 8:00. Did you get/give anything that was particularly pleasing?
I
think I've responded to everyone who has claimed their holiday gift per the message
here, and I've PM'ed everyone who has not. If there is anyone (other than Arlorian/Aisha) awaiting a response to a PM, please bump the thread so it shows up as unread in my ever-growing list of PMs.
