I’m sitting up in bed, laptop buzzing away, with my wife sleeping next to me. Within the next hour, we’ll have showers taken, coffee brewing, and begin opening presents. I didn’t get the house cleaned as much as I would like and my wife’s Jeep still needs its wiper arm replaced (did they Loc-Tite the bolt or what?), but for today, the sun is shining, there are presents under the tree, and all is well with the world.

Best wishes from me and mine to all of you and yours. Merry Christmas.
