Cool!  We're done over here as well, now my wife is about to enter a baking frenzy (as she does every year).

Cool!  We're done over here as well, now my wife is about to enter a baking frenzy (as she does every year).   Mmm, so what's cooking? (or what will be?)   I'm pretty pleased with myself cuz I found a gift for my nephew that my control freak (about gifts for her kids) sister-in-law is NOT going to like, but that he will love.

  So you're the cool aunt, eh?

Christmas cookies of all varieties, she bakes an absolute boatload and gives them away to friends, co-workers, etc.  I do manage to get a fair amount for myself as well.

Are you sure he's a wine drinker?  The cookies might be "safer".

You can still get the wine and send it my way. 

June wrote: I love wine too. But there being inly two of us, we (well, me) usually end up drinking too much and I think there's nothing worst than a wine hangover...   What areas do you like?

One of my favorites is Willamette Valley in Oregon.  But I enjoy most Northwest Pac stuff, including the obvious California regions.  Also love most Italian wines.

Hello.

I'm doing well, feeling very relaxed. Listening to Porcupine Tree.

How about you?

June wrote: Very good. One day of work left!   And tomorrow's going to be pretty easy: communal breakfast to start the day, then some caroling with the kids, then field trip (were going to see the Nutcracker).   Then drive home. Then beer! (would have been gloegg, but I was too lazy to make it this year)   You finished all your exams, right?

That sounds great.

Yes, I finished my last exam yesterday. It still hasn't quite sunk in yet, I keep thinking it's just another Thursday (since I scheduled no classes on Thursdays for this past semester).

Sometimes. This past semester I scheduled all of my classes on Monday/Wednesday/Friday and my 1 credit hour class on Tuesday, so it felt pretty weird. It's not near like high school where I had to get up at really early every morning.

It hasn't really been screwing with me much though. I suppose that's a good thing.

I find it funny when I run into people at college, or ones who knew me at high school, or wherever, and they think that because 99% of the music I listen to can somehow be labeled as "progressive", it means they all sound similar.

That always gives me a good laugh.
