Christmas 2007

It man­aged to be a White Christ­mas, barely. A thin layer of new snow cov­ered the dirty remains of the storm we had a cou­ple of weeks ago. It’s been a very dif­fer­ent Win­ter so far com­pared to last year.

My gift this year was a Tom­Tom One GPS. I used a Tom­Tom in Ire­land when I was there this year and I liked the soft­ware bet­ter than the Mag­el­lan unit we rented from AAA. Tom­Tom is big in Europe but it’s also excel­lent for North Amer­ica. If I have to travel again in the future I will take it with me, after updat­ing it for my des­ti­na­tion of course. The soft­ware is pretty nice, it updates the unit every time I con­nect it to my Mac. It will do traf­fic and weather via a Blue­tooth phone but that’s an extra cost option.

I’m re-doing the down­stairs bath­room floor for Mary Ann’s Christ­mas present. I’m cross­ing my fin­gers since I’ve never done tile before. But hey, if I can get a black belt, I can do anything!

I haven’t done much pho­tog­ra­phy lately, but look for some soon. I plan to use my GPS to find some places I might have missed before.

And one final note, it’s an odd feel­ing say­ing good­bye to Alanna as she scrapes ice off the car wind­shield before going to work.
