Happy Holidays!

We're on a road trip with the dogs. In the photo, we're posing in Port Angeles.

It's really cold in the Northwest.

Updates

Whew! I've been busy busy busy lately. I'm trying to wrap up and catch up before I take a break for the holidays. Even so, right now, I'm super grateful about working for a union. I get 5 weeks of vacation a year plus "Christmas Week!" I don't have to dip into my vacation days just to spend much needed time with my family and loved ones. Yeah!

Elias sits for his Orals this week. Please send him good, positive vibes. Also, his brother and sister-in-law are due to have a baby this week. Yeah!

Finally, I'm working on my New Year List. You know, my predictions and INs and OUTs for 2008. I predict that Oprah will adopt a child and take on motherhood. I also think that Qigong and Tai Chi will pop up, all over the place, as alternatives to Yoga. Be on the look out for my List. Also, feel free to suggest things now.

Update to the Updates: As expected, Elias passed his oral examination. I think that makes him ABD. Yeah!
