Christmas is over, but that doesn’t mean we still can’t be happy and festive. In fact I’m a little schnocked from some spiked eggnog. Ok, not really, but I am excited because I got to watch the Blazers beat Seattle tonight 89-79, giving them 11 straight wins. What in the name of Bill Walton is going on here?
Tomorrow it’s back to work amid a flurry of good news. After a huge scare Monday in which I was told I had a 90% chance of being let go by Friday, the other 10% won out and I have been allowed to keep my job until I find employment elsewhere (which we’re all praying is soon). This means my job is secure, and God will continue to provide and has once again proven Himself faithful.
It was good to have the family here today, first time in three years we’ve all been together on Christmas and the first time the whole family has been together on both holidays since 2001. Turns out Dad is going to stay five extra days until Dec. 31 and Jason isn’t leaving until Jan. 3. We’ve got a few more days to look forward to, together. And wouldn’t you believe it, no stupid arguments have arisen between my brother and I. Guess you could say we finally grew up. 
Here’s to hoping it snows tomorrow, and before I go I want to let everyone know the good old folks who made the Commodore 64 wish you a Merry Christmas (I gotta get this in before the day ends):
Hope you’re all diggin’ the rotating header image featuring photography I shot back home in Oregon, and hope your Christmas was as good as mine.
I remember learning about the commodore in my UNIX class. I have never met a nerdy bunch. No, I take that back. I met some guys at a Postgresql conference. They where nerd incarnate.
And a Merry Christmas to you, Commodore.
Wow, I haven’t seen a commodore in ages. I was hoping you weren’t going to say you made that.
Have a happy new year Chris!
Glad to hear part of the prayers were answered as we hoped they would be answered.
