Christmas thoughts

So, it's been a long Christmas day at my folk's place. While I got some gifts (a JamStation, a gift certificate and a DVD), the best gift I got was to spend time with my family.

My folks live about six hours away from me. Too far to drive more than once or twice a year, and in too remote a place for flying to be any better. Almost all of my extended family is in the same area (fifteen aunts and uncles, or so -- both parents grew up on farms). In a nutshell, while I'm rather close with my family, the distance doesn't help.

So, here's to hoping that everyone had an enjoyable, safe and fun holiday weekend.
