We started the month with a trip to San Diego, as we really wanted to give Kathy a chance to play and interact with the much bigger, more coordinated, and verbal Jet. It was a whirlwind trip and very busy. I thought it was fun, and John and I got in a bunch of things that we wanted to do. Jet got to be spoiled by the Li side of his family, and he got to chase waves! What more could he want?

John, Jet and I made more usage of the Longmont Rec. Center on a regular basis. John and Jet got to be Santa and his little helper, passing out candy canes. Then we all came down, at one time or another with stomach flu.

We got to try out a Longmont tradition of the Holiday Walk, anyway, and our Holidays were restful and fun. Well... restful until we decided we had to get a Eurovan before the year ran out, and that got pretty intense pretty quickly, but we ended up with a silver Weekender with a pop top, bed, fridge, upper bunk, and enough amenities for a good, long trip, but not so many that I'd feel guilty in a hotel some nights. Yay! A good compromise.

I ended the year getting back into paper journals. I'll keep this up, but I don't know how frequently. We'll see if the public nature of this really makes the writing suffer even more than it does now.
