Merry Christmas, or whatever winter-time holiday you may or may not subscribe to. I'm back in Baton Rouge, which is at once fun and sad. I'm glad to be able to spend time with my friends, but it's weird realizing how a lot will be gone next year.

Oh well, family is what's important, and I get to hang out with them- not to mention hang out with Evan, Loren, James, Neale, Clay, etc... And see Deanna and Kaycee before they move to the far east... And go Christmas shopping with Andrew late last night (you wouldn't believe the lines).

All in all, it's been a nice Christmas so far. I hope Kara, Erica, Ben and Angele are having fun in New Orleans, too. I'm sure they are. I hear they've been having lots of fun, hanging out with Jeff G.

K, time to hang out with the family again.
