Sorry I have been well invisible the last couple of weeks. Been working on something. Still am actually. I just took a break to make this Christmas post. I have a new holiday desktop wallpaper for everybody. Sorry it's just in time to be late. I give you Christmas Star.

Hey everybody! Congrats to me! This is my 200th blog post since switching to Habari back in March '07.

Now I get to use this mini milestone to wish all Americans a Great Thanksgiving!

I found this pic online sorry it's not one of mine.

Hey all of you with tech savvy children. Don't forget NORAD tracks Santa as he rounds the globe. And he already took off several hours ago.

Well Christmas is Tuesday. And again I have a touch of a cold. The worst kind of sinus congestion is where it all goes down the back of your throat, causing it to get terribly sore. Worse, is when the really thick goopy snot, triggers your gag reflex. All of a sudden, you’re trying to do everything you can to keep from throwing up.

I have a feeling my Christmas won’t be as pleasant as I would hope for. But I still have about 30 hours. I may get better yet.

I hope everyone is feeling much better than I am, and has a better Christmas.

My work schedule is odd. They way Thanksgiving fell into to the schedule, gave me 6 days off with a work day in the middle. So in the last 6 days I have worked 1, and I still have tomorrow off. I have spent most of it here. Working on this site which has been kind of neglected. I'm sorry for that. The archive access is now much improved. There is a search now on every page, and a tag list on all but the home page. However during the last Habari upgrade the tags from all the old posts were lost. I will have to slowly rewrite them.

But it has been a great, relaxing vacation. I think I'm going to do a bunch of Christmas shopping tomorrow. I never like to go out this last weekend, because everybody else in the country does. Waiting for Monday will avoid the heavy crowd, allowing me to shop in peace. I wish everyone easy holiday shopping this season!
