• CHRISTMAS EVE

  This year we are determined to get into the mid-winter carnival spirit and really enjoy ourselves.
  Today it starts with tracking down a dozen live lobsters (I got'em) a few bottles of cheap Champagne (Probably the best buy/taste combo is Frixnet- a Spanish bubbly) and making a big bowl of potato salad. The lobsters are on ice and still happy; they go in the big pot over the gas ring out on the deck around 5PM. Here in Florida we won't be having a white Christmas (unlike the Midwest) but it promises to be colder than normal and sort of drizzly.
  We exchange gifts this evening and we have badly bent our promise of: "If you can't eat it or drink it, don't buy it - we have too much stuff already". We did however, just get stuff we really really need: An ipod, CDs, a digital music production system to go with the computer(s), etc. We'll do better next year.
  Anyhow, we hope everyone has a MERRY CHRISTMAS.
