Presents 'N Stuff

Well, I bought myself, or more accurately the household present money allowed me to buy a small, and excellent camera, CANON, Power Shot. Works good. For example, the flash doesn't look like flash the way film cameras used to scream out FLASH!!! All the controls are in the right place. The numbers are good. Haven't devoured the instuction book yet, but what showed up so far is technically astounding.


Wifey bought herself a white (oooooh, lush rich white) JEEP, shaped somewhat like a HUMMER. 4X4. I had never driven either one. Unhappily, Wifey won't drive. She can drive, but won't. A few years ago she was seriously injured when her driver fell asleep. And no that wasn't me. So I'm chaufeur. With the 4X4 and so much room for bedbags (huh?) and folding-down seats making sleeping room, we plan one day to drive down Baha* California. *Sp?. We'll avoid the resorts at the tip, joints OJ frequented - not that we could afford them anyway.


Michael (5) got a literally screaming Dinosaur about a foot and a half long. I hope it eats him. Just kidding. Vincent 12, got his laptop. It sucks 'access' via a 6" antenna placed near our modem. The baby, Mark Andrew got a robot dog and oodles of infant clothes all of which he has almost already outgrown.


Communion with relatives, friends, and all those present at the first Christmas was, quite candidly, thrilling far beyond any thought of deserving.


May the New Year bring Peace love and joy to all our blogging friends and acquaintances.


Love,


Barry
