.. is fast approaching.

As I write this, I’m at Starbucks, in my old ‘hood’, if you’re hip like that.  (And by old ‘hood’, I mean Dobson and Chandler Blvd.)  We have a videoconference today in the office, so I’m making an appearance.

Hopefully today, though, I’ll be finishing up my Christmas shopping.  Pretty much done, but I need to find something else for the wife.  She knows about too many of her presents already, so I need to make it right.

With Christmas less than a week away, it only can mean one thing:  Super Happy Fun Day 2007.   This year we’re going to ‘mix’ it up a little bit, and have SHFD before Christmas, instead of the day after.  Whatever. That’s fine.  As long as I can get my game on.  (And again, when I say ‘get my game on’, I mean lose incredibly in Super Puzzle Fighter Turbo.   Like mad-awful, I tell ya.  But I’ve been practicing.  I still stink, though.)

And with Christmas, of course, also comes cold weather, even for the QC.  Lately it’s been in the 30’s at night, with highs in the mid to low 60’s.  This is the reason we live in Arizona, all you out-of-towners-who-think-we’re-crazy.
