Family Reunion: Catskills Train Ride
On Saturday, July 17, we went to a Family reunion for the children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren (Charlotte!) of John and Doris Lamos. This was a great time and we saw so many folks that we had not seen in a while.
Here are some photos from our train ride on the Delaware and Ulster Railroad. What a great time!

Home from the British Isles
We got home at about 6:35pm this evening. We will work on some holiday notes and getting photos and videos up for all to enjoy over the weekend as time permits. Great to be home, even if it does feel like 1am right now! 
Boxing Day Blues
OK, so I'm now working through the Boxing Day Blues (wikipedia: Boxing Day), having done the gifts and all yesterday. And it is only so many hours that one can go without being physically attached to a computer keyboard without having to fix something for someone!
On a possitive note, I'm going to try to get a co-op game of CoD: WaW going tonight with Dan Byron. I played a little bit yesterday, and it looks like it will be really good in co-op play.
Vacation Time in Europe
So, I'm going to go open shop in France. Look at that, a whopping great 37 days average for vacation days per year. Here in the States our 2 weeks seems rather week by comparison.
